As part of the E-Performance strategy, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid have been added to the portfolio. This is Porsche’s response to the particularly strong interest in efficient and dynamic e-hybrid powertrains in many markets. The Panamera will be available in a total of four performance variants of this advanced powertrain technology. The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is particularly efficient and versatile. To generate powerful acceleration, Porsche has combined a new e-hybrid system with a significantly revamped 2.9-litre V6 biturbo petrol engine (224 kW/304 PS).
The system output of 346 kW (470 PS, Panamera 4 E-Hybrid: Fuel consumption combined (WLTP) 1.4 – 1.0 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions combined (WLTP) 32 – 22 g/km, Electric power consumption combined (WLTP) 27.6 – 25.3 kWh/100 km, Electric range combined (WLTP) 79 – 93 km, Electric range in town (WLTP) 89 – 96 km) and the maximum torque of 650 Nm enable acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h. The purely electric range of the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid increases to 96 kilometres in the WLTP cycle (EAER city).
The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid places a stronger focus on driving dynamics as well as sustained power delivery in the upper rev range. Its 2.9-litre biturbo six-cylinder engine delivers 260 kW (353 PS). The system output is 400 kW (544 PS, Panamera 4S E-Hybrid: Fuel consumption combined (WLTP) 1.4 – 1.1 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions combined (WLTP) 33 – 24 g/km, Electric power consumption combined (WLTP) 28.6 – 25.9 kWh/100 km, Electric range combined (WLTP) 78 – 90 km, Electric range in town (WLTP) 83 – 92 km) and the maximum torque is 750 Nm.
This enables the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 290 km/h. Compared to the previous generation, all Panamera E-Hybrid models offer a greater electric range, faster charging speed, better throttle response and better driving performance in almost all disciplines (Panamera E-Hybrid models: Fuel consumption combined (WLTP) 1.7 – 1.0 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions combined (WLTP) 38 – 22 g/km, Electric power consumption combined (WLTP) 29.9 – 25.3 kWh/100 km, Electric range combined (WLTP) 76 – 93 km, Electric range in town (WLTP) 83 – 96 km). At 25.9 kWh (gross), the new high voltage battery provides around 45 per cent more capacity in a comparable space. ■
