2024 Porsche Panamera range picks up more hybrid options

The 2024 Porsche Panamera range has been expanded to include two more hybrid variants.

In addition to the base Porsche Panamera and the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid announced for Australia in November 2023, there will also be a Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid coming to local showrooms – both with plug-in hybrid power. 

Local launch timing and pricing for the new variants has yet to be announced.

Powering the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, contributing 224kW to the plug-in hybrid system’s total outputs of 346kW and 650Nm – a 6kW increase but 50Nm drop compared to the previous generation variant of the model.  

Stepping up to the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid results in total system outputs of 400kW and 750Nm, 12kW less than the outgoing model – largely due to a 64kW loss from its 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine – with no change to its torque figure.

Both variants are all-wheel drive, with a 140kW electric motor integrated into the eight-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission shared between the models.

As with the flagship Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid, the electric motor is powered by a 25.9kWh battery pack, capable of charging from flat to full in less than 160 minutes when using the onboard 11kW AC charger.

Standard equipment fitted to the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid includes:

• 19-inch wheels
• Black brake calipers
• HD Matrix LED headlights
• Head-up display
• 14-way power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation
• Soft close doors
• Bose sound system
• Digital radio
• 15-watt wireless charging pad
• Park assist
• Adaptive cruise control
• Surround-view camera
• Active parking support
• Lane change assist

There will also be a longer wheelbase ‘Executive’ package available for the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, gaining:

• Panoramic roof
• Four-zone climate control
• Rear side airbags

Over the 4 E-Hybrid, the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid adds:

• 20-inch ‘Panamera AeroDesign’ wheels
• Red 10-piston front brake calipers
• Silver sport exhaust tips
• Comfort Access
• Ioniser

While pricing for the 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid has yet to be announced, the base Panamera and the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid are priced from $227,000 before on-roads and $402,300 before on-roads, respectively. They’re due here in March.
