About the 2015 Porsche Panamera

1st generation Panamera (970), facelifted 2014-2016; 2015 is the second year after the refresh and the year before the lightly changed 2016 lineup.

Porsche positions the Panamera as a true Porsche for people who need four doors, rear-seat space, and cargo flexibility. Its appeal is not just luxury; it is the idea that a large hatchback sedan can still feel sharp, fast, and driver-focused. The broad lineup gives buyers everything from a simpler V6 to a plug-in hybrid to serious V8 performance, while the hatchback body and four-seat cabin separate it from more traditional full-size luxury sedans.

The 2015 lineup stretches from rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive V6 models to the plug-in S E-Hybrid, sport-focused V8 GTS, and 570-hp Turbo S. Executive models use a longer body for more rear-seat space, while the Turbo S emphasizes performance with all-wheel drive, ceramic brakes, and an adaptive air suspension.
