ALL-NEW PORSCHE PANAMERA DRIVING REVIEW WITH GERMAN AUTOBAHN

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche Panamera marks a significant evolution, building on its predecessor's chassis but introducing substantial updates to exterior and interior design, as well as powertrain options. The reviewer highlights the new generation's refined aesthetics, particularly the distinctive front and rear light signatures. Inside, the focus is on the high-quality, animal-free interior options, including comfortable fabric seats and the innovative Race-Tex materials. The cockpit features a modern digital interface, though the reviewer notes the potential for glare from the high-gloss black center console. Driving dynamics are praised, with the car described as refined and composed, especially on the Autobahn. The optional Porsche Active Ride suspension is presented as a technological marvel that keeps the car remarkably level, though both reviewers found it to feel somewhat artificial and ultimately recommended saving the cost and opting for the standard adaptive air suspension for a more natural driving feel. The hybrid powertrains offer strong performance, with the reviewer noting realistic electric range. Pricing is acknowledged as high, particularly for well-specced models, but the Panamera is positioned as a unique blend of sportiness and comfort, making it a potentially favorite Porsche for relaxed, yet capable, driving.
