The Porsche Panamera, which was never considered the most beautiful member of the Porsche family, nevertheless always found its circle of loyal customers. It seems that the 2024 model and the final scalpel tweaks may herald the last dance of this icon, which otherwise comes with minimal but sophisticated improvements.
Porsche Panamera 2024 it represents a subtle but significant update that preserves the spirit of the model while hinting that it may be preparing to say goodbye. With minimal cosmetic changes that are more in the spirit of refinement than transformation, the Panamera presents itself as a mature model with a sense of tradition and modernity.
The main star is Turbo E-Hybrid model, which now delivers 670 hp (497 kW) and 685 lb.-ft. (929 Nm) of torque. The peak of power is manifested in an impressive acceleration to 100 km/h 3.2 seconds and top speeds 315 km/h. The battery capacity of 25.9 kWh enables an electric range of up to 91 kilometers in the combined WLTP cycle or 83-93 km in the city cycle. The new 11 kW built-in AC charger reduces the charging time to just 2 hours and 39 minutes at suitable charging points.
The exterior maintains the characteristic lines of the model, but with an added modern touch. Inside, the Panamera boasts an ideal balance between analog and digital controls, with the focus on the driver. So in a world where the Porsche Panamera has never been considered a beauty queen, the 2024 model seems determined to show that true beauty comes with maturity. Coming with minimal aesthetic changes, this “medieval” model may be marking its final chapter, but it does so with the dignity and charm that only experience can bring.
The exterior of the Panamera 2024, which is adorned with more than 5 meters (505 cm to be exact) of elegant steel, does not bring dramatic changes, but more like saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." With a width of 194 cm and a height of 142 cm, the Panamera still seems to have its feet firmly on the ground, despite the fact that it may be running its last lap.
Inside, the Panamera plays with the ideal balance between old and new, between analog and digital. As Porsche would like to say: "You know you can trust classic things, but you're still ready for the future".
With the Turbo E-Hybrid model, Porsche does not skimp on special features. The use of Turbonite color is not only a statement, but as the Turbo E-Hybrid would say: "Look at me, I'm not just fast, I'm also stylish.". The Panamera also boasts an advanced digital ecosystem that allows your smartphone to become your best companion - unless, of course, you prefer live companions.
Safety systems are like a babysitter, alerting you to everything that's going on around you, including new features like the Obstacle Avoidance Assistant, which almost shouts, “Watch out, tree!” and Remote ParkAssist, which allows you to park your car right from your smartphone, because why sit in your car when you can do it from the comfort of your couch?.
