On November 24th, the all-new Porsche Panamera made its global debut in Shanghai. As Porsche’s large four-door sports car, the Panamera has now entered its third generation.
In addition, Porsche has started pre-sales in the Chinese market for the first three models: the new Panamera with a suggested retail price starting at 1.038 million yuan, the new Panamera Executive with a suggested retail price starting at 1.158 million yuan, and the new Panamera 4 Executive with a suggested retail price starting at 1.228 million yuan. In addition, among the first batch of models to be unveiled, the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid will announce its price during the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. Apart from the prices, let’s take a look at the highlights of the all-new third generation Porsche Panamera. The exterior design continues the classic look while also being significantly different.
In terms of appearance, the all-new Panamera still continues the classic elements of the model, and it may not seem like a big change, but many areas have been redesigned. The new car’s front face has a more aggressive look, and the lines on the front hood also have a stronger sense of power. Silver decorations have been added to the front bumper, giving the vehicle a more aggressive look. In addition, the changes in the headlights are also quite obvious, with optimized adjustments to the interior of the lamp unit, and the four-point daytime running lights also follow the current Porsche family design style.
The side lines of the car’s body continue the classic design style of the Panamera. Paired with the electric rear wing and quad exhaust design, the sporty luxury style is fully displayed. Embracing digital style while also considering tradition:
In terms of interior, the new car adopts the latest family design style, which is more modern and technological. It is equipped with a 12.6-inch floating digital combination instrument panel and an optional head-up display system. The dashboard still continues the classic 5-dial design.
On the right side of the steering wheel, the gear lever is adjusted to be between the combination instrument and the central display screen. This creates more space on the center console, increasing storage space. Porsche will place the switch for browsing instrument panel options and the mode selection knob for choosing driving modes directly on the steering wheel. More details reflect the driver-centered concept. Enhanced comfort in the rear seats:
The seats of the new car have also been upgraded, using more comfortable filling materials. In addition, the executive extended version model is also equipped with a brand new rear seat system, which can provide optimized seat angles to ensure that rear passengers are more relaxed during long journeys. It is worth mentioning that Porsche has also equipped the entire dashboard of this model with ambient lighting for the first time. Personalized customization options:
The new car also offers a variety of personalized customization options, some of which are provided by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, including non-leather configurations to create a more thorough sporty style, a first for the Panamera. As for the seats, the new car will optimize the filling material for an upgrade in comfort, and for the executive extended version, it is equipped with a new rear seat system, including optimized seat angles and more. Porsche’s power and tuning:
In terms of power, the new car will still offer both fuel and plug-in hybrid models, with the internal combustion engine improving efficiency and performance, and the plug-in hybrid E-Hybrid version will be equipped with a more powerful electric motor, with the power battery capacity also increased to 25.9kWh, providing even better range. It is worth mentioning that the new car will also be equipped with a new semi-active dual-chamber dual-valve air suspension, which can independently adjust compression and rebound, allowing for a range of tuning from comfort to high performance.
