Porsche has launched three new model variants of the
Panamera.
The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is now the most powerful variant in the completely revamped product line, combining a 563bhp 4.0-litre biturbo V8 with a 134bhp electric motor. Its all-electric range has been increased by up to 30% thanks to a new 17.9kWh battery and optimised driving modes.
Three body styles are available for the new Panamera, sports saloon, Executive, and Sport Turismo (pictured)
This also applies to the new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, where the electric motor is complemented by a 325bhp 2.9-litre bi-turbo V6, resulting in a total system power output of 455bhp. The Panamera portfolio is rounded off by the 4S, which delivers 433bhp and also benefits from all the optimised features of the latest enhancement in terms of chassis, design, equipment and infotainment.
Porsche is now offering three Panamera plug-in hybrid models for the first time - each in the three available body variants of sports saloon, Executive (long-wheelbase version) and Sport Turismo (estate).
At the heart of the drive architecture is the electric motor, which is integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and produces 134bhp and 400Nm of torque. Together with the different combustion engines offered, this makes for outstanding driving performance.
The Porsche Communication Management features a higher display resolution and includes digital functions and services like Apple CarPlay
The gross capacity of the high-voltage battery has been increased from 14.1kWh to 17.9kWh, thanks to the use of optimised cells, and the driving modes have been adapted for even more efficient energy utilisation.
The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has an all-electric range of up to 50km according to Worldwide harmonised Light-duty vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) cycle, while the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid can be driven with zero local emissions for up to 56km according to the WLTP test cycle.
The Porsche plug-in hybrid models can be charged at home either via a standard domestic outlet or a power socket. A model-specific charging capacity of up to 7.2kW is possible with the standard Porsche Mobile Charger. Charging is also possible at public charging points using a Mode 3 cable.
The new Panamera comes with either four seats or five seats, depending on the body style selected
The Porsche Communication Management features higher display resolution and includes additional digital functions and services such as the improved Voice Pilot online voice control, Risk Radar for road sign and hazard information, wireless Apple CarPlay and many other Connect services.
The chassis and control systems have been tuned for increased sportiness and comfort in all new Panamera models. In some cases, a completely new control strategy has been implemented. A new generation of steering control system and new tyres ensure improved lateral dynamics and greater precision.
The flagship Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid comes as standard with all currently available chassis and control systems such as the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport electric roll stabilisation system, which includes Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, rear axle steering with Power Steering Plus as well as the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake system.
