To announce the new Cayenne this spring: testing is also in the final stage

The widest range of product upgrades in Porsche history

The current situation was reported about the new Cayenne that Porsche will announce around spring.

Currently, thorough preparations are underway, and in order to meet Porsche's high quality standards, prototypes and pre-production vehicles are undergoing rigorous endurance tests.

The third generation Cayenne, the current model of Porsche's Cayenne, debuted in 2017, and since then Cayenne has been extensively enhanced in powertrain, chassis, design, equipment, and connectivity, but the Cayenne series manager According to Michael Schätzle, the upgrade is ``the most extensive product upgrade in Porsche history''.

Equipped with a new semi-active chassis

In addition to restructuring the Cayenne's drivetrain, the engineers at the development center in Weissach also made significant changes to the chassis system, with the aim of further broadening the range of on-road performance, long-distance comfort and off-road capability. It is said that it has been reviewed, and as one of them, the new Cayenne will be equipped with a new semi-active chassis.

In addition, a new extensively digitalized display and control concept is installed to enhance connectivity functions, and the headlights are equipped with innovative lighting technology of HD matrix LED headlights to improve both comfort and safety.

Since most of the new technologies introduced this time are new developments, in order to perfectly tune the components, a very complicated and precise test was required, and the test program was developed from scratch. It seems to be comprehensive, like testing a new car.

Testing is top priority in Porsche development

Porsche development includes increasingly precise virtual simulations and real-world driving tests, which are top priorities for Porsche.

These test results are the criteria for whether or not a new model is ready to be released, and the tests, called complete vehicle testing, are all performed in a variety of conditions far beyond those experienced by customers. The purpose is to ensure operational stability and functionality when the components of the system interact with each other.

Endurance testing simulates the life of a vehicle under harsh conditions that customers would never experience in real life.

Under normal conditions, it will drive well over 200,000 kilometers over several months in urban areas, suburban areas and highways.

As a simulation of extreme conditions, prototypes travel around the world for testing.

The harsh tests being carried out around the world are, for example:

• Harsh off-road testing in Spain
• Harsh dune test in Morocco
• Iceburn test in Finland
• Dynamic driving test on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

Such.

The new Cayenne has already been tested in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America, and has traveled over 4 million kilometers in total.

Of course, most of the customers who generally purchase Cayenne do not run on the sand dunes of Morocco or run on the icebergs of Finland, but even so, those who purchased Porsche "Porsche (Cayenne) ) was able to withstand a very high load. That's it.

This new Cayenne, which is currently in the final test stage, will be announced next spring.
