Porsche enthusiasts rejoice as the iconic Panamera receives a significant facelift for the 2024 model year. The third-generation Porsche Panamera unveiled with a perfect fusion of enhanced technology, increased power, and subtle design updates, is poised to redefine the luxury sports sedan segment.
Design and Styling
The Panamera‘s exterior draws inspiration from the classic 911, featuring angular edges and a hood profile with raised fenders leading into the headlights. The addition of center-locking wheels, a first for a four-door Porsche, and Turbonite trim for Turbo models contribute to the car’s striking appearance. The cabin boasts a technological leap with touchscreens expanding to cover the width, including a 12.6-inch instrument cluster and dual 10.9-inch center and passenger-side touchscreens.
Performance and Drivetrain
Under the hood, the Porsche Panamera offers a range of powertrains, starting with a turbo 2.9-liter V6 generating 348 horsepower in the base model and AWD Panamera 4. The showstopper is the Turbo E-Hybrid, featuring a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 combined with an electric motor, delivering an impressive total of 670 horsepower. All Panamera models now ride on a new air suspension, with E-Hybrid variants having the option of the Active Ride system.
Trim Levels and Special Edition
The 2024 Porsche Panamera lineup includes three trim levels: Panamera, Panamera 4, and the range-topping Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. Notably, Porsche introduced a special edition, the Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch, a bespoke creation with a custom two-tone livery featuring real gold flakes, courtesy of the brand’s exclusive Sonderwunsch program.
Pricing and Availability
The base Panamera and Panamera 4 models are available for order, with prices starting at $99,900 and $106,900, respectively. The U.S. dealerships can expect these models to hit their showrooms in the spring of the upcoming year. Pricing and release dates for the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid and the special edition Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch are yet to be disclosed.
In conclusion, the 2024 Porsche Panamera stands as a testament to Porsche’s commitment to innovation, performance, and luxury. With its powerful engines, cutting-edge technology, and a touch of exclusivity with the special edition, the Panamera continues to captivate automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
