But get out on the pavement and the optional air suspension will quickly lower the truck to a much more stable 217 mm (8.5 in), its standard ride height. It can be lowered further by 27 mm (1.1 in) to 190 mm (7.5 in) for improved road holding, and when passing 210 km/h (130 mph), not that you'll ever do that, it drops down by an additional 26 mm (1.0 in) for 164 mm (6.5 in). At its lowest level here isn't a 4x4 capable SUV that can keep within shooting distance. All in all the self-leveling suspension offers six different ride heights for a 116 mm (4.6 in) adjustment range. The lowest, at 157 mm (6.2 in), is an access mode designed only to facilitate loading and unloading cargo, or getting in and out of the vehicle with ease.
When it comes to passenger and cargo capacities the Cayenne is no Chevy Suburban, seating only 5 and offering a mere 540 L (19.1 cu ft) of cargo space when all seats are upright. Get rid of the three in back and the usable loading area goes up to 1,770 L (62.5 cu ft) which puts it just under and slightly over the Infiniti FX45's 776 / 1,710 L (27.4 / 64.5 cu ft) cargo room in respective categories.
