The actual offroad ground clearance?

[nulled]

I noticed when I put it in offroad I have another button shown on the dash where I can raise the car even further. No word about that in the manual. Is that extra or the actual/expected clearance mentioned in the dimensions of car on their website... (Me being lazy and not wanting to go to the garage and measure it)

is the "lifted" height or when you put the chassis in the lift status the same height off the ground as "offroad?" I am noticing the ground clearance is lower than that of the 2023 gts.

i would avoid taking a Macan EV offroad - if the battery is anything like a Taycan

This article might provide the answer you're looking for. Here's the relevant quote...

In off-road driving mode... High Level I is activated, increasing the ride height by 20 mm. A lift of 40 mm is achieved in High Level II

yes - hence my reluctance to "offload" the Macan - Porsche has been "radio silent" when asking about Macan's battery tray vs. dents vs. off-road…I escalated to PCNA to discuss if 3 mm dents are more/less/same as an issue with Macan - and so far no response.

I would simply suggest you take an "informed" approach with regards to Macan+EV+offroad+battery-tray-dents+3mm potentially being a costly repair…

all Macan owners are of course welcome to do what they wish with their vehicle - but I'm not sure as to the differences between Taycan/Macan from a battery tray cooling channels design and their tolerance for minor dents/abrasions/normal-wear-tear…

Could you please inform us if and when you get any kind of answer on the subject?Upon introduction of the model, Porsche repeatedly stated they extensively test drove the car in all kind of roads and climates including off road rides,hence they introduced the new Macan as an absolutely off road capable vehicle.

I'm not exactly sure I'd avoid anything based on one single person's experience at one single dealership. Never seen anyone else have that battery dent issue. So one out of how many Taycans "needed" (I can't stress airquotes enough) a repair due to a battery tray dent and now Porsche EVs are delicate?

I wouldn't take a Macan truly "offroading" but there's no reason to baby it.

Thanks! I think this is what’s missing in the manual but it’s in the article.

In addition, High Level I is activated, increasing the ride height by 20 mm. A lift of 40 mm is achieved in High Level II.
