2024 PORSCHE PANAMERA: THE GAME CHANGING SUPER SALOON & EV KILLER!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Porsche Panamera (G3) marks a significant evolution, moving beyond a mere facelift to introduce groundbreaking technology. The reviewer highlights the aggressive new styling, a marked improvement over previous generations, particularly praising the sharp lines and muscular stance. The core innovation lies in the Active Ride suspension system, which the reviewer describes as a "game changer" for heavy hybrids. This system, featuring active shock absorbers and individual hydraulic pumps, dramatically reduces body roll and negates the perceived weight of the hybrid powertrain, transforming the car into a "proper athlete" on track. The hybrid system itself sees substantial upgrades, with the Turbo E Hybrid boasting 680 PS and a vastly improved electric range of up to 90 km, making it a viable option for urban driving. While the interior adopts a modern, screen-focused design akin to the Taycan and Cayenne, the reviewer expresses reservations about the passenger screen's utility. Despite its considerable weight (around 2.4 tons), the Panamera's dynamic capabilities, especially with the Active Ride system, are lauded, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for a performance luxury saloon.
