New exterior design with even greater emphasis on width
Porsche Driver Experience: new control concept and digital cockpit
New Panamera is available from INR 1,69,62,000.
The Porsche Panamera is entering its third model generation. The sports car
manufacturer's luxury sedan emphasises its sporting character with even more
powerful drive systems.
The profile is enhanced by a fundamentally modernised operating concept and plenty
of innovative technology. The technical yet elegant, dynamic design of the new
Panamera gives the model line’s attractive proportions a fresh update. A fundamentally
redesigned, driver-centred interior enhance the driving experience.
Superior feel with state-of-the-art suspension system
The new Panamera already comes with dual-chamber two-valve air suspension with
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard. The two-valve
technology separates the rebound and compression stages of the damper control and
therefore offers an even wider range between comfort and sportiness: the system
noticeably dampens impacts from transverse joints and road damage while at the
same time ensuring more body stability in dynamic driving situations.
Modifications to boost pressure, fuel injection flow rate and ignition timing optimise the
performance of the 2.9-litre V6 turbo engine. It now generates 260 kW (353 PS) and
500 Nm of torque – an increase of 17 kW (23 PS) and 50 Nm compared to its
predecessor. This shortens the Panamera’s sprint to 100 km/h to 5.1 seconds and
boosts its top speed to 272 km/h.
Luxurious and sporting inside and out
The new Panamera retains the characteristic lines and proportions of the model line.
Its fundamentally revamped appearance lends the sports sedan an even more
expressive and sporting look. Up front, an additional air intake above the number plate
compensates for the increased air requirement of the drive systems. The redesigned
window line in the side view reinforces the sedan character of the four-door sports car.
The outer edges of the rear window are flush with the contour of the body, creating
harmonious lines at the rear of the car.
The Porsche Driver Experience cockpit concept features the ideal balance between
digital and analogue control elements and positions the input and output elements
essential for driving along the driver’s axis. The gear selector lever is directly to the
right of the steering wheel. The mode switch for the Normal, Sport and Sport Plus
driving programmes and the assistance control stalks are also directly accessible to
the driver. This means that they don’t need to take their eyes off the road in order to
adjust the drive programmes and assistance systems.
An optional passenger display closely integrates the passenger into the driving
experience. The 10.9-inch screen displays vehicle performance data on request. It also
allows operation of the infotainment system. In order to avoid distracting whomever is
behind the wheel, the passenger display cannot be seen from the driver’s seat.
Porsche is also equipping the Panamera with standard Matrix LED headlights. The
high-resolution HD Matrix LED lighting system, which has more than 32,000 pixels per headlight, is available as an option. It offers completely new lighting features, such as
dedicated lane brightening. The illumination range is up to 600 metres.
The new Porsche Panamera deliveries will start now. It offers extended standard
equipment compared to its predecessor with two-valve dual-chamber air suspension,
LED matrix headlights, ParkAssist, driving mode switch on the steering wheel, a cooled
smartphone compartment with inductive charging function and an improved fine dust
filter with GPS-supported, automatic air-recirculation function.
Porsche produces the new Panamera at its Leipzig factory. The Saxon production site
is closely associated with the Panamera: from 2009 to 2016, the first generation of the
four-door sports sedan was assembled there while complete production moved to
Leipzig in 2016 with the introduction of the second generation. Modifications to
accommodate the production of the third generation of the Panamera have been
integrated into the plant over the past few months
