With the luxury sedan flagship up to 700 PS, seven new Panamera models now available in ChinaTwo additional plug-in hybrids with more performance, comfort and range

Shanghai/Stuttgart. Porsche presented a comprehensively revamped luxury sedan – the new Panamera – this August, which has received a very positive market response thanks to its improved combination of sports car performance and luxury sedan comfort. Now, the new Panamera is further compeleting its product line-up with seven new models, covering three power levels – 4 E-Hybrid, 4S and Turbo S E-Hybrid; as well as three body types – standard wheelbase, Executive with long wheel base and the Sport Turismo. All seven new Panamera models are now available for order in China.

The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive with a system output of 514 kW (700 PS) is now the most powerful variant in the completely revamped product line, combining a 420 kW (571 PS), four-litre biturbo V8 with a 100 kW (136 PS) electric motor. Its all-electric range has been increased thanks to a new 17.9 kWh battery and optimised driving modes.

Another E-Hybrid power level is represented in the form of the new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, available in three body types. Applying the optimised hybrid essence of the flagship model, the 4-E Hybrid’s electric motor is complemented as before by a 243 kW (330 PS) 2.9-litre biturbo V6 engine, resulting in a system power output of 340 kW (462 PS).

The Panamera portfolio is rounded out by the 4S, which delivers 324 kW (440 PS) and also benefits from all the optimised features of the latest model enhancement in terms of chassis, design, equipment and infotainment.

Panamera becomes the first Porsche model line offering plug-in hybrid models in three power levels, totaling 6 models derivatives. Porsche is therefore systematically extending its E-Performance strategy. This extended power portfolio is poised to satisfy the diversified needs of the market.

Expanding portfolio with improved driving experience

With a 420 kW (571 PS), four-litre biturbo V8 with a 100 kW (136 PS) electric motor, the flagship new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive boasts a system power output of 412 kW (560 PS), while completing the sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds in combination with its standard Sport Chrono package – 0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor. It reaches a top speed of 315 km/h, which represents an improvement of 5 km/h. The new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid with a 100 kW (136 PS) electric motor and a 243 kW (330 PS) 2.9-litre biturbo V6 engine can achieve a system output of 340 kW (462 PS).It takes just 4.4 seconds (-0.2 s) to reach 100 km/h from a standing start on its way to a top speed of up to 280 km/h (+2 km/h).

The gross capacity of the high-voltage battery has been increased from 14.1 to 17.9 kWh, thanks to the use of optimised cells, and the driving modes have been adapted for even more efficient energy utilisation. The Porsche plug-in hybrid models are preferably charged at home – either via a standard domestic outlet or a power socket. A model-specific charging capacity of up to 7.2 kW is possible with the standard Porsche Mobile Charger. Charging is also possible at public charging points using a Mode 3 cable.

The new Panamera 4S, which is still powered by a 324 kW/440 PS, 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine, achieves the 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds (-0.1 s) with the Sport Chrono package. It has a top speed of 295 km/h (+6 km/h).

Visually sharpened with even better connectivity

The 4S benefits from all the optimised features of the latest model update, and is equipped with the previously optional Sport Design front end as standard. This features striking air intake grilles and large side cooling air openings as well as a single-bar front light layout. The newly designed front end of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive is differentiated by its dual C-shaped Turbo front light modules as well as its larger side air intakes. The revamped light bar at the rear now runs seamlessly over the luggage compartment lid with an adapted contour. The options available include darkened Exclusive Design tail light modules with dynamic Coming/Leaving Home animation, three new 20- and 21-inch wheels and two new exterior colours (Cherry Metallic and Truffle Brown Metallic).

The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) features higher display resolution and includes additional digital functions and services such as the improved Voice Pilot online voice control, Apple® CarPlay and many other Connect services.

More performance, more comfort

The chassis and control systems have been tuned for 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 Executive comes as standard with all currently available chassis and control systems such as the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) electric roll stabilisation system, which includes Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), rear axle steering with Power Steering Plus as well as the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system.
