The Most Fuel-Efficient Porsche Panamera On Sale Today
The combination of a bigger battery pack than before along and a potent V6, means the entry-level plug-in hybrid Panamera doesn't sacrifice efficiency in the name of performance
The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is based on the Panamera 4, but with electrical components to support the hybrid system
So, under the hood, you get the same 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 but is detuned. Coupled to the V6 is an e-motor and together the powertrain pushes out 463 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque
Porsche estimates the new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid to clock 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and it can reach up to 174 mph flat out
If you want to drive around in EV mode, you can reach speeds up to 87 mph without the combustion engine!
Powering the e-motor is a bigger 25.9 kWh battery pack which sits near the rear axle
The increase in battery capacity results in better all-electric range, which Porsche estimates it to be around 56 miles
While the MPGe numbers aren't available on EPA's website, I expect the new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid to return between 58 to 60 MPGe combined
The base Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid sports all the luxury features, including a leather interior, heated front seats and heated steering wheel
