Product Overview

Porsche Panamera 971 facelift is an executive sedan in production from 2020. It is available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 2.9 to 4.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelift brought an up-rated engine lineup. Porsche discontinued the diesel nonsense, though one can only get a V8 with AWD, just like before. There is a heavy push for hybrid nonsense, too, which is disappointing.
Porsche has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.27 coefficient of drag to show for it.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Porsche Panamera 971 comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. This is a bit unusual for AWD and less tunable than a multi-link front setup, but what you lose in performance you gain in durability.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
60% of British Panamera sales have been PHEVs, and the situation is expected to stay that way when this revised Panamera generation hits the market next month. Advertised as good for 34 miles of electric cruising before there’s any need to start the petrol engine, the Panamera PHEV showed on test that its battery-only range can indeed beat 30 miles.

Pros
  • Powerful V6 engine
  • Impressive range
Cons
  • Pricier than alternatives
  • No hybrid option

The Porsche Panamera Mk2 is a massive step on compared to its predecessor. It uses a new platform and features new engines, while the interior takes Porsche's luxury cars to the next level. It even looks a lot more attractive than before, with sleeker lines and some interesting, eye-catching design details. It rides like a proper luxury car, but the chassis still delivers the capability you expect from a Porsche.

Pros
  • High-tech interior
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Great range of connectivity options
Cons
  • More expensive than its predecessor

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Panamera GTS has become the car that can do almost everything. With a revised twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 473bhp and 620Nm, it is fast with a great big capital F. Think 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed the far side of 185mph. The steering is arguably the standout dynamic feature, providing a level of feel and precision that is genuinely hard to associate with a machine so vast.

Pros
  • Powerful V8 engine
  • Impressive range of abilities
  • Excellent infotainment system
Cons
  • Quite expensive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The new model's key figures are 0-62mph in just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 198mph – pretty astonishing for a car this big. There's almost no lag whatsoever from the 4.0-litre twin-turbo motor, and the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox is well tuned.

Pros
  • Impressive acceleration
  • Impressive handling
Cons
  • Fiddly to drive
  • Not the fastest

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The 4S E-Hybrid is the only plug-in hybrid Panamera you can buy. It mixes a 134bhp electric motor with a 435bhp 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine. Total system output is 552bhp and 750Nm, delivering a 0-62mph sprint in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 180mph. It feels lighter over the nose than a V8 Panamera, but it can't quite disguise its overall bulk.

Pros
  • Fantastic hybrid powertrain
  • Excellent infotainment system
Cons
  • Noisy V6

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
The 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 makes 443 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. All electrified Panameras have 27% more battery capacity for 2021. The brakes, unfortunately, are the 4S E-Hybrid's only dynamic weakness. It's quick, comfy, fun to drive, and thanks to its liftback design and folding rear seats.

Pros
  • Fun to drive
  • Powerful electric powertrain
  • Comfy, comfy seats
Cons
  • Pricier than other plug-in Panameras
  • Not the best on-road performance

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
In standard all-black form, the Panamera GTS' interior is pretty boring. With a starting price of $130,650, the GTS is $48,400 cheaper than the Turbo S. The GTS gets clear taillights as standard, which look awesome with a full-width lightbar design.

Pros
  • Powerful V8 engine
  • Powerful infotainment system
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Boring interior
  • No adaptive air suspension

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
Porsche continues to nickel-and-dime customers on safety features that are standard on many economy cars. The base Panamera has one USB-C and a 12-volt outlet in the armrest. The rear seats have no charging options. Even with the sloping roofline my head doesn't come close to touching the ceiling.

Pros
  • Gorgeous interior
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent infotainment system
Cons
  • Lack of driver-assistance features
  • No Android Auto

The Turbo S E-Hybrid weighs over 1,000 pounds more than the base Panamera. Sport Plus mode ensures that the engine always stays on to accommodate my need for instant speed. The suspension stiffens up to provide excellent composure while cornering. The interior has all the quality and craftsmanship you'd expect from a Porsche.

Pros
  • Powerful V8 engine
  • Comfortable ride
  • Stylish interior
Cons
  • No standard driver-assistance features
