About Panamera

The Panamera answered a question few people asked out loud: what if a Porsche could take four adults across a continent at a dizzying pace? Launched in 2009, it applied Porsche's chassis expertise to a large four-door hatchback, and while its first-generation styling, with a hunched rear end, drew plenty of jokes, its speed and composure won respect. It proved Porsche could compete with the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series on comfort while outrunning them on a mountain road.

The second generation of 2016 fixed the looks, adding a sleeker roofline and a Sport Turismo wagon, and introduced plug-in hybrid versions, including a Turbo S E-Hybrid that blended huge power with silent electric running. The third generation, introduced for the 2024 model year, brought an active suspension system, a refreshed cabin with more screens and a greater emphasis on hybrid power. Buyers choose from V6 and V8 engines in markets such as India, where the GTS remains a favorite.

The Panamera competes with the Mercedes-AMG GT four-door, BMW M8 Gran Coupe, Audi RS7 and its own electric sibling, the Taycan. Large luxury sedans are a shrinking market, and the Panamera has always been a niche product next to Porsche's SUVs, but it remains a favorite of drivers who want sports car feel and room for passengers. Renderings already preview its next update. This page follows the Panamera's updates, reviews, recalls and ownership stories.
