Default Active suspension

Hello all,
Looking to buy a Panamera but really need the "active suspension" feature (that I saw in one YouTube review) where the car will raise itself quickly and automatically when a door is opened. This is important to me due to age.
I would like to know at what year this feature started? I am looking at a 2023 4E Platinum model and can't find anywhere if it has this option.

Its the G3 generation that has the active suspension. Its from 2024 and onwards and only on the hybrids.

Thank you! I read that it raises the car by 5.5 cm, which sounds like not much. Is there a way to have the 2023 year model raise up before getting out and in again? Like manually lift it and leave it up?

On mine (22) I set the diamond (user defined) button on the steering wheel to raise the car to it's highest level, and I hit the button when I enter my driveway to help with the curb. Its a hybrid with the air suspension and has high, norm, and low positions. Low is automatically selected with Sport +, high can only be selected when slow (under 15 or something). You can select high off the glass, or like I did, assign it to the diamond and it goes back down when you start to drive off. Not sure exactly how much but it seems like each setting is an inch or so.

So yes, that would work with a 23 with air suspension.
