How Does Porsche InnoDrive Work?

Porsche InnoDrive works with the advanced Porsche Adaptive Cruise Control system to create a more efficient, safer, and more comfortable driving experience from West Bloomfield to Northville. First debuted on the Porsche Panamera in 2018, and now also found on models like the Porsche Cayenne, Porsche InnoDrive has been helping Bloomfield Hills drivers ever since. Discover how this feature can enhance your time in the driver’s seat today.

Porsche InnoDrive Function

Using high-resolution navigation data and information collected through your vehicle’s radar and video sensors, the Porsche InnoDrive determines topographical road features and speed limits along your West Bloomfield route before you reach them. After predicting route features such as gradients and corner radii, InnoDrive adjusts speed and gearshift strategy accordingly.  

Porsche InnoDrive Benefits

Using the knowledge gained from its prediction horizon of up to 1.8 miles, the Porsche InnoDrive system can:

• Optimize acceleration and deceleration, as well as maintain speed for a smoother ride
• Increase fuel efficiency by maximizing vehicle performance 
• Ease the difficulty of navigating traffic Jams

Traffic Jam Assist

One of the most convenient aspects of the Porsche InnoDrive with Porsche Adaptive Cruise Control is Traffic Jam Assist. Activated up to speeds of 37 mph, this feature tracks other vehicles and roadway signs to make those long Northville commutes easier. Feature highlights include:

• Keeping your vehicle centered in the lane through gentle steering inputs
• Regulates the distance from vehicles behind and in front of you
• Follows the queue when system limitations allow

This not only helps you navigate traffic safely, but it also relieves the stress of driving on congested roadways. 

Driver Override 

It is important to note that while the Porsche InnoDrive system makes driving easier, it is subject to system limitations, and drivers do need to be ready to intervene if needed. And if you prefer to retain control, the Porsche InnoDrive system can be overridden by simply activating the brake or accelerator.
