About the 2019 Porsche Panamera

2nd gen (971), third model year before the 2021 facelift

Porsche positions the Panamera as a true four-door sports car rather than a traditional large luxury sedan. Its core appeal is that it blends real Porsche handling and strong powertrains with everyday usefulness, a roomy cabin, a digital cockpit, available long-wheelbase Executive comfort, named Sport Turismo variants, and plug-in hybrid performance. Against rivals, the Panamera stands out by feeling more driver-focused without giving up the comfort and premium atmosphere expected in this class.

The 2019 range starts with a 330-hp rear-wheel-drive liftback, while the Panamera 4 adds all-wheel drive and the 4S brings a stronger 440-hp V6. The new GTS is the enthusiast-focused middle ground between the 4S and Turbo, with a lowered adaptive air suspension, sport exhaust and 20-inch wheels. Executive models emphasize rear-seat space, while plug-in hybrids range from the 462-hp 4 E-Hybrid to the 680-hp Turbo S E-Hybrid flagship.

What changed, by category

Styling

The parking-assistance system changes from standard to optional equipment across the lineup.

“Beautiful design, inside and out. The technology incorporated is superbly executed and easy to use. The Hybrid integration is seamless and leaves us smiling due to the power or smiling due to the economy. My wife visits a gas station once every seven weeks now instead of every week!”
