PANAMERA 4 E-HYBRID: THE CAR I SHOULD’VE BOUGHT?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer posits that the third-generation Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, particularly when optioned with Active Ride Suspension, has finally achieved the 'proper Porsche' status that previous hybrid iterations lacked. The G3 model is lauded for its significant advancements over its predecessors, boasting a much larger battery (25 kWh) enabling a real-world electric range of approximately 45-57 miles, a more powerful 190 PS electric motor integrated into the PDK gearbox, and a refined 2.9-liter V6 engine. The standout feature is the revolutionary Active Ride Suspension, a £7,000 option that provides unparalleled body control, offering both S-Class levels of refinement and motorsport-grade agility. While acknowledging the high price point, especially when heavily optioned, the reviewer concludes that this Panamera occupies its own unique segment, blending executive luxury with true sports car dynamics. Despite the cost, the reviewer expresses a strong personal desire to own one, deeming it the ultimate all-rounder super sedan and luxury sedan, and a compelling daily driver thanks to its hybrid capabilities.
