Porsche Panamera Interior Evolution: Redefinining The 2+2 Formula Over Three Generations
From analog to full digital and more on-board luxury than ever, here's how Porsche's flagship sports sedan has changed over the years
The first Panamera arrived in 2009 and it brought 911-like dynamics to a four-door practical sedan
The cabin of the first Panamera featured a few pieces from the 997 911, including the steering wheel. Despite the many plastic buttons on the center console, the cabin, even today, feels upmarket
The original Panamera featured 2+2 seating layout, which is still the norm today. These leather upholstered seats were power-adjustable
The second generation Panamera succeeded the first in 2016. This generation Panamera brought updated looks, revamped interior, and more potent pure ICE and hybrid models
Compared to the first-gen Panamera, the second-gen model gets more technology such as a larger infotainment screen and the driver gets two displays and a center analog tachometer
Interior quality takes a step ahead and the seats are comfier than ever. Up to 18-way power-adjustable seats, heating, ventilation, and massage functions are all available
The latest Panamera is in its third generation launched in 2023. It's not only aggressive looking, packing more luxury features as standard
There are two displays on the dash: a 12.6-inch for the driver and a 10.9-inch infotainment. You can also opt for a third display on the passenger side
Standard seats features 14-way adjustability, and standard equipment includes heating for the seats and a panoramic sunroof
With improvements in quality and the addition of more on-board tech, the sporty 2+2 Panamera has evolved considerably across three generations
