Cayenne S suspension confusion
Hi, I am looking for a 955/957 Cayenne,
a) I am a bit confused with some terminology, I see many (in Australia) cars listed for sale with "Suspension: Active Auto Leveling. " this is on what I believe to be coil suspension cars (no height control switch behind gear lever).
Can a spring suspension car have auto levelling ?? or is this an error.
b) Also interested in best base vehicle for off road capability, coil or air ?
I would be considering a lift, but also like the idea that with air suspension the vehicle can be brought down in height to "low level" for getting to locations on the black-top.
thanks for any feedback

Auto-leveling without full air suspension usually means the rear shocks have air suspension with auto-leveling control that's not manually selectable, but rather adjusts based on weight in the vehicle. Our BMX x5 had this. I didn't know this was an option on Cayennes, and maybe it was only offered outside the US.
