The third-generation Porsche Panamera combines a low, sporty driving position with the practicality of a liftback. Your choice of powertrain shapes both how it drives and whether charging becomes part of your routine.
Porsche Panamera engine choices include gasoline and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Among the examples, the gasoline 2.9 PDK drives the rear wheels, while the gasoline 4 2.9 PDK and Turbo E-Hybrid 4.0 PDK have all-wheel drive for added traction. The PDK dual-clutch transmission provides automatic shifting with manual control when you want it.

The Panamera 4 name accompanies the all-wheel-drive gasoline 4 2.9 PDK version. When comparing Porsche Panamera trim levels, check the individual car’s equipment and options as well as its badge. Seat adjustment, parking assistance and comfort features are useful areas to assess against your daily needs.
The Turbo E-Hybrid 4.0 PDK and 4 2.9 PDK E-Hybrid both use lithium-ion batteries. Porsche Panamera battery capacity helps determine electric range, but temperature, speed and heating use also affect how far you travel between charges. Regular charging lets you make greater use of electric driving, while the gasoline engine supports longer journeys.
