Air suspension: Unique in the market segment
The third version of the Porsche Macan chassis, and exclusive in this vehicle segment, is the optional air suspension including a leveling system, height adjustment and PASM. This chassis variant also satisfies the highest demands for comfort, sportiness and performance, and puts the vehicle in pole position in comparison to every other chassis design.
In comparison to the steel spring design, the Macan with air suspension sits .59 inches lower at Normal Level and, due to the associated lower center of gravity, it offers both increased driving dynamics and improved comfort. The air suspension maintains a consistent vehicle position automatically, regardless of the load distribution. The ground clearance can be adjusted to three different levels as required: "High Level I", "Normal Level" and "Low Level". In "High Level I", the vehicle sits 1.58 inches above "Normal Level", with a maximum ground clearance of 9.06 inches. This option is activated via the off-road button and can be used at speeds between 0 and 50 mph.

Pressing the PASM button or the Sport Plus button lowers the vehicle by .39 inches to "Low Level". Doing so allows for a maximum ground clearance of 7.09 inches. Using the "Low Level" setting in combination with Sport Plus mode gets the maximum performance from the Macan, as the center of gravity is even lower and the PASM is optimized for these conditions.
To allow the luggage compartment to be loaded easily, vehicles fitted with air suspension can be set to loading level, which lowers the rear end to 1.97 inches below the normal level. Loading level is activated by pressing a button in the luggage compartment.
Выдержка из пресс-релиза Порше по пневме, довольно интересно что даже нет прямых регулировок - высокий режим включается кнопкой офф-роуд, низкий через спорт режим настройку PASM как я и говорил, а задница присаживается когда кнопку нажмешь в самом багажном отделении, действительно немного не та пневма к которой мы привыкли в Кайене или Мерсах :)
