The facelifted first-generation Porsche Panamera combines a sporting character with the everyday usefulness of a liftback. Your choice of powertrain and equipment will shape how it suits commuting, longer journeys and more enthusiastic driving.
Porsche Panamera engine choices include the gasoline 3.6 MT with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, giving you direct control over gear changes. Other examples include the rear-wheel-drive 3.0 PDK plug-in hybrid, best suited to regular charging, and the gasoline 3.6 PDK with all-wheel drive for added traction.

When comparing Porsche Panamera trim levels, check the individual car’s fitted equipment alongside its technical version. Equipment configurations for the rear-wheel-drive gasoline 3.6 PDK include names such as Panamera Diesel and Panamera Turbo. Treat these names cautiously: confirm the powertrain separately, then assess seating, comfort and convenience features against your needs.
