Updated hybrids for the Porsche Panamera

The Porsche Panamera range welcomes the 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid models, new plug-in hybrid versions of the sports sedan.

How to evolve a proven hybrid model? With greater electric range, improved performance, and faster charging speeds. Nothing too complicated after all! The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and Panamera 4S E-Hybrid complete the brand’s lineup of sports sedans, now offering four variants of this hybrid powertrain.

To optimize the acceleration performance of the Panamera, Porsche has combined a new plug-in hybrid system with a redeveloped 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo petrol engine (224 kW/304 hp). The combined power of 470 hp (346 kW) and peak torque of 650 Nm allow acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. The top speed is 280 km/h. The electric-only range of the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid has increased to 96 km in WLTP cycle.

The Panamera makes its mark

The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid is more focused on driving dynamics and high-revving power. Its 2.9-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine develops 353 hp (260 kW). The total system power is 544 hp (400 kW), with a maximum torque of 750 Nm. The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 290 km/h.

Compared to the previous generation, all Panamera E-Hybrid models feature increased electric range, faster charging, improved responsiveness during acceleration, and better driving performance. With a gross capacity of 25.9 kWh, the new high-voltage battery’s capacity has increased by nearly 45% for a similar size. Additionally, the new 11 kW onboard AC charger reduces recharge time to 2 hours and 39 minutes. With a power output of 140 kW (190 hp) and a torque of 450 Nm, the new electric motor offers significantly higher power than its predecessor.

In France, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is priced from 125,306 euros, and the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid from 140,540 euros. Deliveries in France will begin in the second quarter of 2024.
