The second-generation came to market in 2016 and received a facelift in 2020, but the minor tweaks didn't affect the Panamera's fundamental design. A striking feature of the Panamera is the wide range of engine options available, from economic diesel motors to clean-hybrid units, all paired with an all-wheel-drive system and 8-speed automatic transmission. The Panamera is quick, regardless of the engine. The base trim sprints from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds and the flagship Turbo S delivers an eye-watering dash of 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and has a max speed of 195 mph.
The Porsche Panamera has an extensive list of options, including engine choices, safety features, comfort and performance packages. The Panamera comes in a range of trims, including the Panamera 4, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S and GTS. Standard features you can expect in the Panamera include:
On the inside, the Porsche comes with part-leather upholstery and a digital dashboard with a 13-inch infotainment touchscreen. Other features in the second-generation Panamera include:
After the 2020 facelift, all Panamera trims featured a standard SportDesign front-end, previously an optional add-on. The facelift also introduced a larger intake grille, newly improved rear LED lights and side air vents. Other improvements include tweaked suspension, a performance boost for the Turbo S and GTS variants, plus a higher-capacity battery for the E-Hybrid trim. Porsche also introduced the 4S E-Hybrid, Turbo S E-Hybrid and 3 new alloy wheel design.
The second-generation Panamera comes with limo-level comfort, partly due to the introduction of a 3-chambered air suspension that was cushier than before. The interior is well designed and spacious, making it comfortable for long journeys. The model also comes with 3 different comfort settings to keep the car comfortable on different terrains.
Every version of the Panamera comes with this package as standard. It is a clever system that helps select your preferred driving mode, depending on the situation. There are 3 different modes: Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual. Its highlight feature is the ability to instantly prime the car at the press of a button, achieving a 20-second maximum performance period under any circumstance.
The Panamera comes with the most sophisticated infotainment system in the Porsche range, including the possibility of turning the car into a Wi-Fi hotspot. It works seamlessly, along with other capabilities, like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It only suffers one caveat; since nearly everything is touch-controlled, it requires the driver to take their eyes off the road for a few seconds, which is quite distracting.
The Porsche Panamera is a 4-passenger saloon. The latest generation is more spacious than the previous, especially the knee room for rear occupants. It also comes with more luggage space, a total of 495 litres, which is 50 litres more than the Panamera's debut model. Folding down the rear seats increases its boot capacity to an impressive 1,304 litres.
All Panameras offer exciting raw performance. The entry-level 326 bhp Panamera, Panamera 4 and Panamera 4S can reach 0-60 mph in 5.6s, 5.2s and 4.3 seconds. The 4 E-Hybrid and the 4S E-Hybrid can complete the same sprint in just 4.4s and 3.7s and has a top speed of 185 mph. The top-performance Turbo S and Turbo S E-Hybrid versions have a top speed of 195 mph and can sprint 0-60 mph in only 3.1 and 3.2 seconds, respectively.
There is no official Euro NCAP safety rating for the Porsche Panamera. However, with its high-strength steel and part-aluminium construction, combined with several safety kits and systems, it easy to believe the sporty Panamera saloon likely exceeds safety expectations. Besides having 8 airbags, the Panamera comes standardly equipped with a highly sophisticated electronic stability control system. Optional safety features include lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and night vision.
