2024 Porsche Panamera Gains Two More E-Hybrid Trims

It was late last year when Porsche unveiled the all-new 2024 Panamera, entering its third generation with some new digs, plenty of extra tech and new powertrain offerings. At the time, we were given details on the Panamera/Panamera 4 and the Turbo E-Hybrid models; and now, we’ve been clued into two models, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid.

Both of these models are powered by a plug-in hybrid system, utilizing a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 engine for the internal-combustion side of things and incorporating a 140 kW electric motor for the electrified assistance. That motor is mounted inside the housing of the PDK transmission, and is powered by a 25.9 kWh battery pack– gross capacity, but still 45% more capacity than previous units. Charging with the onboard 11 kW AC charger can be finished in 2.5 hours.

Total system output of the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is rated at 463 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, with Porsche claiming a 0-to-60 acceleration time of 3.9 seconds and a top track speed of 174 mph. If that still isn’t enough, buyers can get a little more performance out of the 4S E-Hybrid, reaching a combined system output of 536 horsepower and 553 lb-ft. This, naturally, translates to a quicker acceleration time of 3.5 seconds; and with enough runway, a top track speed of 180 mph.

Along with revised Sprot and Sport Plus drive modes, E-Hybrid models have four unique settings. E-Power is the fully-electric mode, which these vehicles will start in until the battery is under a certain capacity, at which point it will automatically switch to Hybrid Auto mode. If selected, E-Hold will preserve the current charge, while E-Charge will use the 2.6-liter V6 to charge up the battery to 80% max while traveling 34 mph or faster.

As discussed in our initial report, all Panamera models come standard with an adaptive two-chamber air suspension and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). E-Hybrids can be optioned with Porsche Active Ride, said to further increase traction and cornering performance while maintaining comfort.

The Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid will start at $117,495, and the 4S E-Hybrid will start at $128,795, with the $1,995 destination charge attached. Orders open at the end of March, with examples expected to arrive stateside by Fall 2024.

And we’ll have more on the all-new Panamera soon, so stay tuned!
