New Porsche Panamera 2025: Great Electrified luxury car
The 2025 Porsche Panamera a large four-door model offered in a surprising variety of variants, has become one of the best-selling high-luxury sedans in the US, and a credible alternative to the BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
The German sports car maker is putting the finishing touches on the latest generation of the Panamera and has shown behind the scenes of the latest model, and the biggest surprise may be that there are four different plug-in hybrid versions available.
Four plug-in Hybrid options
Interestingly, some of the most popular versions of the Panamera around the world have been the plug-in hybrids, which offer customers the option of emission-free driving in city centers and for daily commutes, while providing the flexibility and the fast refueling that Porsche customers want when driving long distances.
In some European countries, plug-in hybrids are also entitled to tax exemptions or are exempt from paying tolls in built-up urban areas. In some countries, plug-in versions account for almost all Panamera sales, although the proportion in the US is considerably lower.
The next-generation 2025 Porsche Panamera is betting on plug-in hybrid technology and Porsche will offer four plug-in hybrid models. While the company has not yet shared all the details of these new versions, Porsche claims that the top-of-the-line Panamera will be a high-performance model that can also be plugged in. Given that the current Panamera Turbo S already offers 620 hp, we expect a new top-of-the-range model with plug-in technology to exceed 700.
2025 Porsche Panamera: Battery and autonomy
All new plug-in 2025 Porsche Panamera will feature a new, more powerful electric motor that will be integrated directly into the housing of a new dual-clutch automatic transmission.
A battery with a capacity of 25.9 kWh will provide significantly greater range than previous models; In fact, Porsche claims that up to 70 percent of all driving in Panama will be done exclusively on electric power, which is a huge improvement over the current model.
Level 2 charging of up to 11 kW will also reduce charging times on home or public chargers, despite increased battery capacity.
Porsche claims that the new Panamera will also have major revisions to its gasoline engines that will make them more efficient and better performing. All gasoline engines are not only prepared to meet future emissions standards, but are also ready to accept electrification in the future.
Porsche: Torture tests around the world
A team of Porsche engineers recently completed final validation operations of the new Panamera in hot and cold climates. In the surroundings of Barcelona (Spain), driving tests were carried out to check the balance between driving and maneuverability on European roads. In the US, engineers tested different drive options at high altitudes and low oxygen levels, as well as testing their resistance to the extreme heat of California’s Death Valley.
Cold weather testing of the new 2025 Porsche Panamera took place in Scandinavia at very low temperatures, while the poor roads of South Africa put the new car’s suspension to the test. In China, high humidity and hours of stop-and-go traffic posed particular challenges for complex transmission systems.
We test all new cars intensively to meet our demands, says Marcel Hönemann, head of development at Porsche, and of course those of our customers around the world. The standard we set is always the development objectives defined in the specifications. The new Panamera must excel here and now, particularly in terms of performance, comfort and acoustics.
New and innovative air suspension
In addition to highly electrified transmissions, Porsche claims that the new 2025 Porsche Panamera will have many other improvements that will make driving even better. The new top-of-the-range active suspension offers active damping control, which is said to be more comfortable than ever while giving the Panamera a sportier edge on winding roads.
The lower-end models will feature a semi-active suspension with new two-valve shock absorbers, which will also extend the car’s performance.
The production version of the next-generation Panamera will premiere at the end of November 2023, at the Porsche Festival in Dubai. Expect to see it on American roads early in the new year.
Porsche presents two new hybrid variants of the Panamera
Porsche expands the Panamera range with the 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid variants. The new plug-in hybrids offer impressive acceleration figures and driving performance, in addition to their strong E-Performance: the electric range now reaches 96 kilometers.
Porsche continues to expand its range of engines for the Panamera sports sedan. As part of the E-Performance strategy, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and Panamera 4S E-Hybrid are added to the catalogue. This is Porsche’s response to the great interest in many markets for efficient and dynamic electric hybrid engines. The Panamera will be available in a total of four performance variants with this advanced powertrain technology.
Propulsion: Optimized Hybrid Performance
The 2025 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is particularly efficient and versatile. To achieve powerful acceleration, Porsche has combined a new e-hybrid system with a significantly renewed 2.9-liter V6 biturbo gasoline engine (224 kW/304 HP).
The system power of 346 kW (470 HP) and 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 kilometers in the WLTP cycle (city EAER).
The 2025 Porsche Panamera 4S E-Hybrid places greater emphasis on driving dynamics and sustained power delivery in the high rev range. Its 2.9-liter six-cylinder biturbo engine delivers 260 kW (353 HP). The system power is 400 kW (544 HP) and the maximum torque is 750 Nm. This allows 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 greater electric range, faster charging speed, better throttle response and better driving performance in almost all disciplines. At 25.9 kWh (gross), the new high-voltage battery provides around 45% more capacity in a comparable space.
At the same time, the new 11 kW on-board AC charger reduces charging time to two hours and 39 minutes. With 140 kW (190 HP) and 450 Nm of torque, the all-new electric motor offers significantly more power than its predecessor. It is also integrated in the housing in an efficient and weight-optimized way, and in the oil cooling circuit of the PDK transmission.
The internal rotor design (rotor spins inside the stator) reduces mass inertia by 50%, improving throttle response. With a recovery of up to 88 kW, the electric motor also contributes to the significant increase in the electric range of the Panamera E-Hybrid models.
E-Hybrid driving modes with optimized strategy
Four optimized E-Hybrid driving modes, along with enhanced Sport and Sport Plus modes, further increase the efficiency of the E-Hybrid models. The vehicles always start in the fully electric E-Power mode. Once the battery’s state of charge reaches a certain minimum value, the system automatically switches to Hybrid Auto mode, which adapts the operating strategy to the current driving conditions.
In addition, with active navigation in Hybrid Auto, the operating strategy is further optimized by knowing the route in advance. In this way, the proportion of distances traveled electrically in urban traffic can be maximized and efficiency increased. To do this, the system uses both car and navigation data.
In E-Hold mode, the current state of charge of the battery is maintained. In E-Charge mode, on the other hand, the internal combustion engine charges the battery up to 80% outside the city and above 55 km/h, while the Panamera takes advantage of the efficiency advantages of the hybrid system in the urban traffic.
In Sport and Sport Plus modes, Porsche reduces the battery’s target state of charge to 20 and 30 percent respectively (previously 30 and 80 percent). This increases efficiency without sacrificing performance.
E-Hybrid with innovative Active Suspension
Porsche equips all variants of the new 2025 Porsche Panamera as standard with a two-chamber adaptive air suspension, which includes Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with two-valve shock absorbers. In addition, the E-Hybrid models also have the innovative Porsche Active Ride active suspension.
This technology combines the ability to deliver optimized traction and cornering performance with a high level of comfort. Each individual shock absorber, also equipped with two-valve technology, features an electrically driven hydraulic pump, powered by the 400-volt system, which can be used to actively generate forces in the rebound and compression directions.
As a result, the suspension almost completely absorbs body movements caused by terrain irregularities and keeps the vehicle horizontal at all times during dynamic driving maneuvers.
The shock absorbers operate at up to 13 Hz, meaning they can adjust settings up to 13 times per second and therefore react very quickly to the driving situation and road surface. In addition, the technology allows innovative functions such as overcompensation of roll and pitch movements, as well as raising the body to facilitate entry and exit from the vehicle.
Sporty details and improved standard equipment
All variants of the new Panamera feature an athletic and renewed design. The front end is characterized by newly designed standard LED matrix headlights and an additional horizontal air intake. At the rear of the sports sedan, a continuous taillight and a frameless rear window distinguish the new Panamera. Silver window frames highlight its side line.
The standard equipment of the Porsche 2025 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid includes 19-inch wheels, black brake calipers and Matrix LED headlights. The innovative high-resolution Matrix HD LED lighting system is available as an option. The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid is distinguished by 20-inch wheels in Panamera Aero Design, silver sports exhaust tips and red brake calipers. Brake calipers in acid green and black are optionally available.
The 2025 Porsche Panamera 4S E-Hybrid brakes with ten-piston brake calipers on the front axle as standard. Alternatively, the PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake) is available for this model in conjunction with 21-inch wheels. The ceramic composite discs measure 440 millimeters on the front axle and 410 millimeters on the rear axle.
