The new Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid models continue to use the same powertrain architecture as their predecessors. The heart of this is the electric motor, which has a power output of 100 kW (136 PS) and 400 Nm of torque. In combination with the respective combustion engine fitted to each model and the boost strategy derived from the 918 Spyder super sports car, this results in a unique high-performance driving experience. The electric motor is integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and all plug-in hybrid models from Porsche are equipped as standard with the Sport Chrono package.
Panamera 4 E-Hybrid
With a system power output of 340 kW (462 PS), the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is the entry-level model in the hybrid family of this product line. The electric motor works together with a 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine with an output of 243 kW (330 PS) and performance has been improved compared with its predecessor: the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds (-0.2 s); top speed is 280 km/h (+2 km/h).
Plug-in technology and driving modes
All new Panamera hybrid models benefit from a more powerful high-voltage battery and optimised driving modes. There is now a much greater focus on highly efficient charging while driving and, depending on the selected driving mode, the battery charges faster. At the same time, intelligent energy recuperation allows an even more efficient use of the electric drive.
The electric motor draws its energy from a high-voltage battery installed at the rear of the car. To achieve a long electric range and extend the reserve capacity for electric boosting, the battery's gross capacity has been increased from 14.1 to 17.9 kWh compared with the previous hybrid models thanks to optimised battery cells. This corresponds to an increase of exactly 27 per cent. The installation space for the battery beneath the load compartment floor remains compact, providing spacious luggage capacity from 403 to 1,242 litres in the sports saloon (Sport Turismo: 418 to 1,287 litres).
The additional optimisation of its driving modes has made it possible to increase electric range by up to 30 per cent. The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid can be driven with zero local emissions for up to 50 km according to WLTP EAER City (NEDC: up to 59 km), while the 4S E-Hybrid can cover up to 54 km according to WLTP EAER City (EDC: up to 64 km). The new Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is particularly efficient and has an all-electric range of up to 56 km according to WLTP EAER City (NEDC: up to 64 km).
