Looks great!

Were the side blades painted body colour?
They seem to blend in quite nicely.

very nice the garnet int goes well with the black ext, would look good with silver also I would imagine.

I'm not a fan of the chrome window trim however, would look better in high gloss or matte black.

I think the chrome window trim (and roof rails) looks great on a black car, but would select gloss black for a silver car.

The look from the rear makes me want to get the air suspension just to lower it. I was just looking for a smaller SUV. Man that thing looks stunning!!!

I can't say I disagree. I am opposed to AS for various reasons, but the stance looks perfect in pics. Damn Porsche ! OTOH, I have to see it in person.. I generally like more space in the wheel well than many rennlisters do.

If I remember correctly if you specify Air Suspension and Sports Chrono its possible to lower the suspension further when in Sports+ mode

I think air is 15mm lower than steel spring but that you can lower it another 10mm in the low setting. I'll have to see if sports chrono is required for the additional lowering.

Pretty certain you can lower the AS the same way without SC.

No mention of sports chrono to get to the low setting:

Air suspension
For a high level of comfort and tremendous dynamic performance, you have the option of an air suspension including PASM. With this setup, the car is 15 mm lower than with the steel spring suspension. The effect? Improved aerodynamics. The self-levelling function helps to keep the ride height constant.

A ride-height adjustment capability enables you to switch the ground clearance to three levels: Terrain Level, Normal Level and Low Level. At Terrain Level, the car is 40 mm above Normal Level; at Low Level, 10 mm below it. Loading Level is especially practical: from Normal Level, the rear end of the body lowers 40 mm to make it easier to load the car. This function is operated by means of a button in the luggage compartment.


Man I got to stop reading the forums, I keep adding schit. LOL

Macan without AS is the normal ride height.

Macan with AS normal ride height is -15mm lower.

Sports plus IS REQUIRED to lower car further 10mm and it ONLY happens with the car in sports plus mode.

Off Road setting raises car +40 mm from AS normal ride height.

Cargo area button lowers car -50mm from AS normal ride height for loading and unloading ONLY.

You are wrong about lowering, there is a dedicated "Low" button that you can use to lower the suspension regardless.

Yeah.. well, upon further research, you happen to be right.
