Default Ground Clearance

Hi, what is the MAX ground clearance of the Macan with PASM and Air Suspension? How does this compare with the max ground clearance of the Cayenne? Thanks

They are similar. Motortrend states slightly over 9" ground clearance with the air suspension maxed out for the Macan. I couldn't find anything from the Porsche site to confirm, other than the delta between normal and max is 40 mm (1.57"). In the Cayenne the delta is 2.17" at the rear with air suspension at max (slightly higher in front) for an overall clearance of 9.65"

Just found a couple of other sites that state 9.05 to 9.06" ground clearance for the Macan at max air suspension setting.

How does the Macan ground clearance at max with air suspension compare to the max ground clearance of a evoque or Q5 or other comparable vehicles?
