Priced at Rs 78.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the car&nbsp;is slightly larger than its predecessor, measuring 13mm taller and 14mm longer, with an additional 15mm added to the wheelbase, making it more comparable in size to the S-Class. Its dimensions currently stand at&nbsp;5,092mm in length, 1,800mm in width, and 1,493mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,094mm.

The new LED headlamps, now equipped with matrix LED technology, provide a sharper, more refined look. The side profile remains sleek with a prominent shoulder line and sloping roofline. At the rear, the elegant wraparound LED taillights, connected by a light bar, are a striking design feature.</p>

<p>In mid-March this year, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/lexus/">Lexus</a> officially launched the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/lexus/lm/">LM</a> in India. Although the Japanese automaker had begun accepting bookings for the premium model&nbsp;earlier, its formal introduction was highly anticipated.&nbsp;The MPV&nbsp;is offered in two variants: the 4-seat Ultra Luxury trim, priced at Rs 2.50 crore, and the 7-seat VIP version, priced at Rs 2 crore (ex-showroom).&nbsp;Both models are powered by a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a hybrid system, delivering 190bhp and 240Nm of torque, mated to a CVT.

Top 5 Premium Cars of 2024: BMW 5 Series LWB, Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB, Porsche Panamera and More

Join us as we take a closer look at the top 5 premium cars that made waves in 2024, each setting new standards for performance, luxury, and innovation.

<p>Hot on the heels of the 2025 Panamera's&nbsp;Nurburgring lap record of&nbsp;7:24.17 minutes, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/porsche/">Porsche</a> has unveiled two Panamera models for global markets&nbsp;–&nbsp;Turbo S E-Hybrid and GTS. The former sits at the top of the lineup with 771bhp, making it more powerful than its predecessor, while the latter is a 'dynamic sports saloon' putting driving experience above everything else.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both models come powered by a 4.0-litre&nbsp;twin-turbo V8, with the Turbo S E-Hybrid getting a significant battery upgrade. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid gets an electrified V8 powertrain, combining a 591bhp&nbsp;twin-turbo V8 with a 188bhp&nbsp;electric motor. The combined power output&nbsp;stands at 771bhp, compared to the previous model. Simultaneously, the torque figure has risen to 1,000Nm, an increase of&nbsp;130Nm over the old model. Transmission duties are taken care of by an eight-speed&nbsp;dual-clutch automatic.</p>

<p>With 771bhp at its disposal, the new Porsche Panamera&nbsp;Turbo S E-Hybrid can accelerate from a halt to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds before reaching 325km/h. But, it doesn't end there.&nbsp;In addition to being more powerful and fast, the new&nbsp;Turbo S E-Hybrid offers&nbsp;faster charging times and&nbsp;a better electric range. It uses a&nbsp;25.9kWh hybrid battery with 45 per cent more energy than before. Using an&nbsp;11kW onboard AC charger, the vehicle can be fully charged in&nbsp;2 hours and 39 minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since it is positioned at&nbsp;the top of the model range, the new&nbsp;Turbo S E-Hybrid gets&nbsp;forged 21-inch centre-lock wheels, rear-wheel steering,&nbsp;400V Active Ride suspension, and ceramic composite brakes with signature yellow callipers, all as standard. Optional bits include&nbsp;a carbon fibre 'Aerokit' (for increased downforce)&nbsp;and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber tyres.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2025 Porsche Panamera GTS: Power, Acceleration, Speed</h2>

<p><img alt="Porsche Panamera GTS " src="/uploads/2024/07/2025-Porsche-Panamera-GTS-.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Coming to the second variant, the 2025 Porsche Panamera GTS makes 483bhp through the same&nbsp;4.0-litre&nbsp;twin-turbo V8, up by 20bhp. As a result,&nbsp;0–100km/h acceleration time comes up&nbsp;in 3.6 seconds, while the top speed is marked at 303km/h. Referred to as the 'most agile Panamera', the new GTS comes with&nbsp;dual-chamber&nbsp;air suspension as standard, which sits 10mm lower than standard versions. Also present is a&nbsp;sports exhaust system, reinforced anti-roll bars,&nbsp;and an electronically controlled PTV Plus limited-slip differential.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2025 Porsche Panamera GTS: Most Powerful Panamera for India</h2>

<p>The Indian market won't get the&nbsp;Turbo S E-Hybrid, but deliveries for the new Panamera GTS are expected to commence by the end of this year or early 2025. Upon arrival, the new GTS will be the most powerful Panamera in our country. Priced at Rs 2.34 crore (ex-showroom, India), it slots above the standard Panamera (Rs 1.70 crore, ex-showroom).&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Porsche Panamera GTS Interior" src="/uploads/2024/07/2025-Porsche-Panamera-GTS-Interior.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Compared to the standard <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/porsche/panamera/">Panamera</a>, the GTS gets HD matrix LED headlamps and taillamps in black, as well as red brake callipers and black GTS logos. It also offers a Sport package, which includes a satin matte-black finish on the side skirts, inserts in the front fascia, side window surrounds, and the rear bumper. The tailpipes&nbsp;of the sports exhaust system in a Dark Bronze colour create a visual contrast. The GTS is equipped with&nbsp;21-inch Turbo S centre-lock wheels in Anthracite Grey.</p>

Two GTS-specific interior packages in Carmine Red or Slate Grey Neo, along with a&nbsp;matte carbon fibre interior package, are also on offer.</p>


2025 Porsche Panamera Adds Turbo S E-Hybrid, GTS Models; India Gets GTS at Rs 2.34 Crore

The 2025 Porsche Panamera GTS makes 483bhp through a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. As a result, 0–100km/h acceleration time comes up in 3.6 seconds.

<p>The top-of-the-line Porsche Panamera model&nbsp;has recorded&nbsp;an impressive&nbsp;lap time at&nbsp;the 20.82-km-long&nbsp;Nurburgring circuit&nbsp;in Germany. In this high-performance sedan, Porsche test driver Lars Kern set a record of 7:24.17 minutes, beating the previous model by 5.64 seconds.&nbsp;Several factors&nbsp;are responsible for the enhanced performance, such as the new Carbon Aerokit and the Porsche Active Ride chassis.&nbsp;These improvements guarantee that the vehicle maintains&nbsp;good contact with the road, offering improved body control and cornering.</p>

<p><img alt="Porsche test driver Lars Kern" src="/uploads/2024/07/Porsche-Panamera-Nurburgring-2.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Commenting on the feat, Kern said, 'The new Porsche Active Ride chassis has made a particularly important contribution. The vehicle always remains parallel to the road. The cornering stability and body stability are at a completely new level. As a driver, this gives me a good feeling and further underlines that our development not only offers comfort during everyday driving&nbsp;but also makes a real difference on the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. No other Porsche offers such a wide range between comfort and sportiness. The new Panamera combines the positive characteristics of an exclusive sedan with the behaviour of a sports car.'</p>

<h2>2025 Porsche Panamera: Expected Powertrain</h2>

<p>The carmaker claims that the Panamera is currently&nbsp;the fastest luxury sedan with an ICE&nbsp;or hybrid drivetrain. Although Porsche did not provide specifics, we believe "the new Panamera top model" to be the impending Turbo S E-Hybrid trim. It is anticipated to generate a higher power&nbsp;output than the standard Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid's 661bhp&nbsp;and closer to the mechanically related Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid's 719bhp, most likely from an electrified twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 unit.</p>

<p>The optional Carbon Aerokit reduces lift on the front axle for maximum performance. It produces downforce in conjunction with an adjustable 4-way rear spoiler Gurney flap, further enhancing aerodynamic balance.</p>

<p>On the design front, with a wider front splitter and black trim elements around the taillights and front bumper, the new-gen&nbsp;Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid stands apart from the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. The pre-production prototype had no camouflage and rolled on 21-inch center-locking rims with 325/30 ZR21 on the back and 275/35 ZR21 on the front covered in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/porsche/">Porsche</a> claims that a safety roll cage and the driver's race seat are the only differences from the factory vehicle.</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera: Design&nbsp;</h2>

<p><img alt="Porsche Panamera Launch in India" src="/uploads/2024/05/Porsche-Panamera-Rear-quarter.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>On the exterior front, the new Panamera's reworked front fascia, sporting&nbsp;a reprofiled bumper with&nbsp;larger air vents is the most notable change.&nbsp;Additionally, the updated LED headlamps with matrix LED tech&nbsp;have a more crisp appearance. With a prominent shoulder line and a retreating roofline, the side profile is nonetheless modest. The elegant&nbsp;wraparound LED taillights at the back, connected by an&nbsp;LED light bar, are&nbsp;a standout design element&nbsp;as well.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera: Powertrain Details</h2>

<p>Powering the India-spec Panamera is a 2.9-litre&nbsp;twin-turbo V6 engine, which produces&nbsp;349bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 500Nm of peak&nbsp;torque, up 22.6bhp&nbsp;and 50Nm over the previous-generation model. This is the only engine option available for the vehicle. Power is sent to the rear wheels by an eight-speed PDK automatic gearbox coupled to this engine.</p>

<p>With a top speed of 272km/h, the new Panamera can&nbsp;sprint from 0 to 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds. The car's semi-active air spring setup and two-way adjustable rear spoiler enhance its dynamic capabilities. Although there won't be any hybrid models available here, Porsche is anticipated to introduce the more potent V8 Panamera in India at a later date.</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera: Suspension</h2>

Shock absorbers with individual compression and rebound control assist the semi-active system's two-chamber air spring setup&nbsp;in responding fast to undulations.</p>

New Porsche Panamera Launched in India at Rs 1.70 Crore; Deliveries Commence

Powering the India-spec Porsche Panamera is a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, which produces 349bhp of maximum power and 500Nm of peak torque, up 22.6bhp and 50Nm over the previous-generation model.

<p>Porsche has introduced two new Panamera E-Hybrid models, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and Panamera 4S E-Hybrid, to meet the growing interest in e-Hybrid powertrains. These newer models are better in every way, including electric range, charging time, and general performance. Both versions are currently available for purchase, with shipping scheduled to begin in the Q2 of 2024. In the beginning, Porsche's four-door sedan was available in two internal combustion engine (ICE) variants, namely the Base and the Panamera 4, as well as one plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) type, that was the Turbo E-Hybrid, which was the most advanced model. The Turbo E-Hybrid pairs a robust 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor, while the 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid versions utilise the 2.9-litre V6 twin-turbo engine from the ICE variants along with an electric motor.</p>

<h2>Porsche Panamera: Design and Features</h2>

<p>The most recent Panamera models use a standard design that is accentuated by the absence of a rear window frame, a seamless taillight and matrix LED headlights. With its elegant black brake callipers, 19-inch alloys, ParkAssist technology, and a handy chilled tray for wireless smartphone charging, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is a car unlike any other. The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid stands out with its impressive 20-inch wheels designed with the Panamera AeroDesign, silver Sport tailpipes, and noticeable red brake callipers.</p>

<p><img alt="Porsche Panamera Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Porsche-Panamera-Interior.png" width="1280" /></p>

<h2>Porsche Panamera: Powertrain and Performance</h2>

<p>Both versions in the propulsion field are powered by a 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo engine paired with a 140 kW electric motor. The hybrid system in the 4 E-Hybrid has a peak output of 464bhp and 650Nm of torque, while the 4S E-Hybrid has a greater peak performance of 537bhp and 650Nm of torque.</p>

<p><img alt="Porsche Panamera Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Porsche-Panamera-rear.png" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The 4 E-Hybrid goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, while the 4S E-Hybrid does it in 3.5 seconds, just 0.3 seconds slower than the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid with a powerful 4.0-liter V8 engine. Both variants come with a 25.9 kWh battery that offers an electric-only range of 96 km. They also feature an 11 kW AC charger that can fully charge the battery in two hours and 39 minutes.</p>

<p>The Panamera E-Hybrid models mix efficiency and performance with four carefully designed driving modes specifically for E-Hybrids, in addition to improved Sport and Sport Plus modes. The modes adapt the vehicle's operational strategy based on the driving scenario, route guidance, and the battery's charge level.</p>

Porsche offers the 4 E-Hybrid with 19-inch wheels and black brake callipers, while the 4S E-Hybrid features 20-inch wheels, silver Sport tailpipes, and red brake callipers. Both models, in line with the Panamera's performance ethos, come equipped with the PASM system.

<p>Porsche Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid takes centre stage in the buzz of automotive jubilation. Barely two weeks into the spotlight, the 2024 Panamera has already become a sensation, and the festivities at the Leipzig assembly line are far from over. In breaking news, the assembly line is abuzz with exhilaration as it bids farewell to its two-millionth Porsche masterpiece. Stealing the spotlight is none other than the magnificent Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid, adorned in the lavish hues of Madeira Gold Metallic. The high-performance sedan is en route to its discerning customer in Dubai, marking the latest chapter in the Panamera model line's illustrious journey that commenced at the Leipzig facility in 2009.</p>

<p>"The expansion to a full factory was a groundbreaking decision for the site. As a full factory, we manufacture models in their entirety, from the construction of the body to the final assembly. This has laid the foundation for new car projects and continued growth,” says Gerd Rupp, Chairman of the Management Board of Porsche Leipzig GmbH.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many awards have been given to the Porsche plant in Leipzig for its innovative "smart factory" methods.

<p>The global-spec version of this car features an innovative hybrid drivetrain as standard, delivering an impressive 680bhp of maximum power and a robust 930Nm of peak torque. A 25.9 kWh battery pack provides the energy needed to power this behemoth. In particular, the 2024 Porsche Panamera's 3.2-second sprint to 100 km/h demonstrates its nimbleness.</p>

<p>For its Indian version, the Panamera will initially be offered exclusively with a V6 engine. This 2.9-litre twin-turbo unit boasts 348bhp and 500Nm. A sophisticated eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox makes short work of transferring power to the back wheels. According to Porsche, the V6 Panamera has a top speed of 272 km/h.</p>

<h2>2024 Porsche Panamera: Interior</h2>

<p>Taking design cues from the most recent Cayenne and Taycan models, the 2024 Panamera's cabin has been extensively upgraded. Two standout features are the 12.6-inch Cayenne instrument panel and the 12.3-inch Taycan infotainment screen. Furthermore, a separate 10.9-inch screen is available to the co-driver for tracking data or media access.</p>

<p>The updated design has a more user-friendly and practical layout, with features including a redesigned steering system and a gear lever that is conveniently located on the column of the steering wheel. In a feature reminiscent of the Taycan's interface, an exclusive function linked to the infotainment screen permits regulation of airflow from the unique C-shaped air circulation vents.</p>

<p>To make sure everyone in the new Panamera stays secure, it comes with a bunch of safety features like an electronic stability programme (ESP), a 360-degree camera, remote park assist, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) like lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera:&nbsp;Appearance</h2>

<p><img alt="Porsche Panamera Rear Quarter 2024" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/11/Porsche-Panamera-rear-quarter-2024.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>When it comes to the exterior appearance of the new-gen Panamera, it&nbsp;resembles the&nbsp;outgoing model. The front has been modified, though, with a new bumper that features wider air dams and redesigned headlamps that mimic&nbsp;those of the Taycan sedan.&nbsp;The broad tail lights at the back blend in nicely with the broader bumper cuts at the bottom. Certain exterior details are exclusive to the Turbo and E-Hybrid trim levels of the Porsche, which may not be accessible to buyers as they haven't been introduced in the country as of now.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera: Mechanical Specifications</h2>

<p>Speaking of the global-spec model, the car's innovative hybrid drivetrain&nbsp;which comes standard with the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid, produces 680bhp of maximum power along with 930Nm of peak torque, enabling it to reach 100km/h in 3.2 seconds.&nbsp;This is due to the new dual-clutch transmission's integration of a more potent electric motor. The engine has 108bhp and oil cooling for improved performance. Moreover, a&nbsp;25.9kWh battery pack has been employed&nbsp;to power this.</p>

<p>On the other hand,&nbsp;the Panamera will only be&nbsp;available in India with a&nbsp;V6 engine first.&nbsp;The&nbsp;2.9-litre twin-turbo unit producing&nbsp;348bhp&nbsp;and 500Nm,&nbsp;represents a gain of 22.6bhp&nbsp;and 50Nm over the previous model. Power for the rear wheels is transferred to them via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The V6 Panamera, according to the manufacturer, can attain a&nbsp;peak&nbsp;speed of 272km/h and boasts a&nbsp;0 to 100km/h acceleration time&nbsp;of&nbsp;5.1 seconds.</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera: Suspension Setup</h2>

<p>Two new suspension systems—fully active and semi-active—are also included with the new Panamera. Shock absorbers that are individually controlled for both compression and rebound help the semi-active system's two-chamber air spring design respond to undulations quickly. With its single-chamber air spring, the fully active suspension leverages the power of the hybrid system and offers a more comfortable ride than the semi-active setup.</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera: Interior and Safety&nbsp;Features</h2>

<p><img alt="2024 Porsche Panamera Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/11/2024-Porsche-Panamera-Interior.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The interior layout of the new&nbsp;Panamera has been extensively updated, incorporating design cues from the Taycan and the new Cayenne. The 12.3-inch infotainment screen comes from the Taycan, whereas the 12.6-inch instrument panel is sourced from the Cayenne. In order to look over data or access media, the co-driver may choose to make use of a third 10.9-inch unit. Besides these conveniences, a redesigned steering and&nbsp;a gear lever on the steering column&nbsp;are among the other modifications. The infotainment display is the only way to control the airflow from the C-shaped air conditioning vents, much like with the Taycan. Once more, the standard Panamera offers a lot of these features as optional extras. The carmaker&nbsp;has further added more comfortable seats and altered the layout's shape to improve the amount of space in the back. These seats can be adjusted electrically. The media, seating, and air conditioning are all controlled by a display at the back.</p>

<p>Several airbags, an Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), a 360-degree camera, remote park assist, and ADAS technologies including adaptive cruise control, lane keep&nbsp;assist, and more ensure the&nbsp;protection of occupants.&nbsp;</p>


New Porsche Panamera Launched in India at Rs 1.68 Crore

Regarding market rivals, the new-gen Porsche Panamera goes on to compete with the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S e-Performance 4-door Coupe in India, which is currently priced at Rs 3.3 crore (ex-showroom). The official bookings for the sedan are set to commence shortly.

<p>Porsche,&nbsp;in June 2023, introduced a new logo as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations. While the latest version of the brand's iconic crest badge received a few design revisions and colour changes, it was designed to be 'immediately recognisable'. Now, in what will be the next step by Porche, the German brand's Turbo models will be featuring an exclusive badge, dominated by a new Turbonite colour tone&nbsp;rather than a traditional golden hue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Designed by&nbsp;the Porsche Colour &amp; Trim experts, the special crest combines black with an 'elegant metallic grey tone', particularly for the Turbo. Not limited to this, the Turbonite treatment is&nbsp;also extended to certain exterior and interior components, with the future Turbo lineup receiving the Turbonite treatment on the rear lettering, Daylight Opening (DLO), and borders of the side windows.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Besides, the inlays in the front aprons&nbsp;as well as the aero blades and spokes&nbsp;of&nbsp;the light alloy wheels will be given a Turbonite finish, all depending on the model you pick. The 'modernised' crest on the front of the&nbsp;high-performance models and alloy wheels will round things off.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Future Porsche Turbo Models: Interior</h2>

<p>Changes continue inside as well, with&nbsp;the trim strips, belt straps, and&nbsp;a number of controls, such as the mode switch and air conditioning control panel, also exhibiting a&nbsp;similar appearance. In this case too, according to Porsche,&nbsp;the exact scope depends on the model series. The car's steering wheel will be adorned with the same Turbonite badge as the alloy wheels.</p>

<p>Moreover, those who choose to buy the Turbo model with a black interior will get a contrasting Turbonite tone for the yarn on the seats, door panel trims, instrument panel, and floor mats.</p>

<h2>New Porsche Panamera: First Car to Get a Special Badge</h2>

<p>The new-generation Porsche Panamera will be the first model from the company's turbo lineup to wear this 'more marked differentiation'. Slated&nbsp;to make its debut&nbsp;at the Icons of Porsche Festival in Dubai on November 24, the E-Hybrid vehicle will be equipped with&nbsp;the twin-turbocharged, 48V mild-hybrid engines that are currently available in 2.9-litre and 4.0-litre displacements. Additionally, the&nbsp;new Panamera is also expected to get a revised plug-in hybrid powertrain lineup&nbsp;that will be shared with the fourth-generation Cayenne SUV.</p>

Porsche Turbo Lineup to Come With Special 'Turbonite' Badge, Third-Gen Panamera Being the First

The new-generation Porsche Panamera will be the first model to be adorned with a new Turbonite look instead of a traditional golden hue.

<p>Porsche is gearing up to launch the all-new Panamera for the global markets on November 24. Ahead of its market debut, the luxury carmaker has revealed its interior layout. The Panamera will continue&nbsp;with one more generation of engines, including plug-in hybrid and petrol units, before switching to electric power. The new model’s cabin – it has three screens along with the ‘Driver Experience’, which places the driver at the centre and offers a perfect combination of analogue and digital elements – is undoubtedly inspired by Porsche's electrified Taycan. Here are all the relevant details regarding the 2024 Panamera.</p>

<h2>2024&nbsp;Porsche Panamera: Interior Layout and Features</h2>

<p>While the sweeping centre console style of the dashboard remains largely unchanged in the new Panamera, the contents have undergone significant alterations. The updated Panamera now includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, with an optional 10.9-inch passenger display, and a 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster. For the driver, an optional head-up display can be added, serving as a fourth monitor for enhanced visibility and information access.</p>

<p><img alt="Porsche Panamera Interior 2" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/11/Porsche-Panamera-interior-2.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Numerous climate-control functions have been moved to the touchscreen, resulting in a reduction of physical controls. However, a few conventional rocker buttons for air temperature and potentially fan speed remain. The gear selector has shifted from the centre console to adjacent to the steering wheel, and air vents are now electronically adjustable. The conventional turn-key starter has been replaced with a stop/start button. The overall cabin exudes a sleek and modern aesthetic, featuring ample ambient lighting and stylish accents. The Panamera’s interior will introduce Race-Tex and Pepita fabric upholstery, marking a shift away from leather for the first time. Additionally, the console separating the rear passengers' seating areas can accommodate a digital display.</p>

<h2>2024 Porsche Panamera: Expected Powertrain Options</h2>
