New Porsche Panamera revealed: big on hybrid, big on digital, big in size
Porsche has pulled the covers off its third-generation Panamera saloon, which aims to raise its game with an expanded range of hybrids as well as a highly digitised cabin inspired by the Taycan.
While boasting similar dimensions to the current model, the Panamera is big in anyone’s book with the regular version measuring 5,052mm in length and the Executive stretching things to 5,202mm.
But Porsche has completely reworked the new model inside and out, as well as beneath the skin.
Porsche plans to eventually offer four E-Hybrid powertrain options in the new Panamera, and first out the starting blocks is the new Turbo E-Hybrid, which pairs a “fundamentally revised” 4.0-litre V8 turbopetrol engine to a 140kW electric motor for system outputs of 500kW and 930Nm.

Yes, this really is the new third-generation Porsche Panamera
Panamera follows 911 in barely changing appearance, infinitely cool Sport Turismo estate is dead
We promise this really is the new third-generation Porsche Panamera. Porsche has reverted to its classic incremental design approach for the switch from G2 to G3 (hope that pleases the model code fans out there), although there are some subtle styling differences if you look hard enough.
Up front there’s a new grille with an extra inlet above the front numberplate, while the arches are more pronounced to ape the 911. The rear looks a little more 911-esque too with a frameless rear window, a redesigned lightbar and a slightly larger black plastic area.
Porsche is launching the G3 with the Panamera 4 and mid-range Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. The 4 gets a twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6 that makes 348bhp and 369lb ft of torque, while the Turbo E-Hybrid pairs a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 with a 25.9kWh (gross) battery and an electric motor that’s integrated into the eight-speed PDK gearbox. Total power output? A cool 671bhp and 686lb ft of torque. And that’s not even going to be the top spec.
As with the previous Panamera, there will be a full-fat Turbo S E-Hybrid that Thomas Friemuth – Porsche’s head of the Panamera product line – tells us will have “significantly higher numbers”. For reference, the old one had 690bhp. Expect a non-hybrid, V8-engined GTS for the drivers too, as well as a V6 hybrid and a base spec rear-wheel drive V6 that’ll just be called ‘Panamera’. Sounds like there won’t be a non-hybrid Turbo S this time though. Got it? Good, neither have we.

2024 Porsche Panamera Debuts With More Hybrid Power, Fancy Active Suspension
The third-generation Panamera adopts more angular styling and a larger focus on luxury and technology.
In just a few years Porsche will release a fully electric Panamera on its version of the Volkswagen Group’s upcoming SSP platform, part of its quest to go (nearly) fully electric by 2030. To tide us over until then, a new third generation of the gas-powered Panamera just debuted in Shanghai, China.
It’s more of an extensive revision than a completely new model, riding on an updated version of the old car’s MSB architecture and seemingly sharing some hard points. Nevertheless, the 2024 Panamera features heavily updated hybrid powertrains, a completely overhauled interior and evolutionary exterior styling that should keep the sedan relevant until closer to the decade’s end.
At launch Porsche will offer three different Panamera models. The entry-level Panamera and Panamera 4 will use the same twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine as the old car, but with a handful of tweaks that have upped output to 348 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque, 23 hp and 37 lb-ft more than before. That gives the rear-drive Panamera a 0-to-60-mph time of 5.0 seconds and the all-wheel-drive Panamera 4 a 4.7-second sprint, both 0.3 seconds quicker than the old cars. Top speeds of 169 mph and 168 mph, respectively, are each 1 mph faster.

2024 Porsche Panamera Announced
Meet the 2024 Porsche Panamera, the third-generation sedan from the Stuttgart brand. Here’s a look at specs and pricing.
Many would argue the 911 and Cayenne are the more popular models, but the 2024 Porsche Panamera still commands some limelight for those wanting a practical sports sedan. The third-generation model has just been announced, with an updated look, interior upgrade, expanded engine lineup as well as a smart active air suspension setup.
The visual updates are subtle but the biggest change on the 2024 Porsche Panamera is the front, with a new LED Matrix headlight design, new grille and new intakes. There are new colours and wheel designs to choose from, while the rear retains its long LED taillight array and deployable spoiler. Physically, the new Panamera has near identical dimensions other than a 3mm increase in overall length.
Climb inside and you’ll see the new Panamera has a Taycan-inspired screen setup and for the first time there’s an optional 10.9-inch display for the front passenger. The gear lever has been removed to free up cabin space and this has been replaced by a gear selector on the steering wheel.
When will the 2024 Porsche Panamera arrive in South Africa?
Porsche South Africa says the new Panamera will be available in the first quarter of 2024. The prices below include the 5 year Driveplan.
Panamera R2 216 000
Panamera 4 R2 292 000
Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid R4 127 000

Third Generation Porsche Panamera Revealed with Pricing for South Africa
Porsche took the covers off the all-new third generation of the Panamera model and we were fortunate enough to be in Dubai to see the covers come off the new Sedan.
Porsche will offer four E-Hybrid powertrains but the only one available from launch is the the most powerful unit, the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. This packs a revamped twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine and an electric motor powered by a 25.9-kilowatt-hour battery. Total output is 670 horses (500 kW) and 930 Nm (685 lb-ft) of torque, sending power to all four wheels via an eight-speed PDK transmission. It can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 315 km/h (195 mph).
The less potent models, Panamera and Panamera 4 will also be available at the time of the launch. 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 348 hp (260 kW) and 500 Nm of torque – an increase of 17 kW 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. The all-wheel drive Panamera 4 now takes 4.8 seconds and reaches 270 km/h.
The first units are expected to arrive in South Africa in the first quarter of next year with base pricing as follows;
Panamera – R2,216,000
Panamera 4 – R2,292,000
Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid – R4,127,000
