Testing of the new Porsche Cayenne reaches the home straight - Porsche Newsroom

Until then, the prototypes and pre-production vehicles are being subjected to challenging endurance tests to ensure that they meet Porsche's high quality standards.

Following its launch in 2017, Porsche has consistently enhanced the third generation of the Cayenne with far-reaching measures affecting its powertrain, chassis, design, equipment and connectivity.

In addition to realigning the drive portfolio, the engineers at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach made major revisions to the Cayenne’s chassis system.

The aim was to achieve an even wider range between the typical Porsche on-road performance, long-distance comfort and off-road capability.

During what we call complete vehicle testing, the aim is to ensure the operational stability and functionality of all components and systems as they interact – in situations that the customer experiences and far beyond.

To simulate extreme conditions, the prototypes also travel around the world, with the aim being to put their quality and durability to the test in different climate zones.
