Introducing the New Panamera

The new Porsche Panamera embraces a fresh direction in the German automotive market. While the previous model was somewhat short, bulky, and a bit dull, the new version captivates with its stunning design, featuring aluminum accents on the roof, hood, trunk, and fenders.

Dimensions and Design

Length: 5,049 mm (an increase of 34 mm)
Width: Increased by 6 mm
Height: 5 mm taller than its predecessors

With the front and rear wheels pushed forward, the new Panamera showcases a strong presence. The Panamera 4S can be identified by its circular exhaust pipes, while the Turbo version features trapezoidal exhaust outlets.

Technology and Comfort in the Cabin

Inside the cabin, a soft-touch surface replaces conventional hard keys, complemented by digital display screens on the dashboard. The gear shift is perfectly positioned between the driver and the front passenger, featuring a new 12.3-inch touchscreen developed by Porsche (Porsche Communication Management system), which connects to smartphones via Apple CarPlay, along with a new audio system that responds to natural language commands.

Advanced Safety Features

The Panamera includes a thermal imaging feature for nighttime visibility and Porsche InnoDrive. Previous versions utilized a thermal camera that detected people and large animals, displaying warning colors in the cabin.

Autonomous Driving Technologies

Porsche InnoDrive relies on navigation data from radar and video sensors. InnoDrive computers manage acceleration and deceleration ratios, as well as gear selection for the next three kilometers, studying curves, gradients, and speed limits along the route.
