The suspension magic in the Cayenne is legit. Corners flat, doesn’t wallow, tons of grip, never unsettled. I’m not looking forward to an air suspension repair… but until then I’ll just enjoy the bullet train feeling.
I have driven a 2021 GX460 and man that thing scared me, you are not kidding about the body roll. It feels like it will tip over taking a turn at 20mph and even going near the brakes will make it nose dive so much so you can see it from the interior and feel it in your stomach. I am shocked Toyota/Lexus did not do anything to fix that for years.
I think Toyota has an active suspension system they put on the landcruiser/lx570 KDSS or something like that. Maybe they didn’t bother to put it on the gx460
The funny part was at the time I was looking for an offroader/overlander vehicle that could tow and people kept telling my to look at the GX. After driving the GX I went right to a Toyota dealer in another state and got a 4Runner TRD Pro, it felt like a race car compared to the GX lol.
I also wish the Cayenne had a better interior and rode nicer on bad roads. I seriously contemplated getting a Cayenne S but with all our potholes and the Audi-esque interior, I went right to the X7. I really wish Porsche put more flair into the Cayenne’s interior and made it ride better.
No idea why this is a headline- this system debuted over a decade ago for Porsche:

It’s pretty wild- it completely eliminates body roll, which can feel a bit odd
There’s like no body roll or nose dive in our cayenne, it’s so weird compared to a GX460 where there’s tons. Feels odd for sure.

Yea, I drive one along with a Cayenne with PDCC that has basically no body roll or dive when not going hard. It is completely different.

it’s a different system.
The one you linked loads antiroll bars to avoid body roll.
The new system can independently control each shock, like a lowrider would.
