It's quick to react, feels smaller than it looks from behind the wheel, and puts its energy into steering feel, chassis control, and braking confidence rather than rear-seat lounging. The range also gets broadened this year, from the base V6 car up through plug-in hybrids and a V8-powered GTS.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor the 2025 Panamera, we're focusing on five trims: Panamera (rear-wheel drive), Panamera 4 (all-wheel drive), Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, Panamera 4S E-Hybrid, and Panamera GTS. The Turbo E-Hybrid and Turbo S E-Hybrid sit above these models and are covered separately.What's New for 2025?Porsche redesigned the Panamera for 2024 as a new third-generation model, and the lineup fills out for 2025 with the addition of a 463-hp 4 E-Hybrid, a 536-hp 4S E-Hybrid, and a 493-hp GTS. The Turbo models also gain a Turbo S E-Hybrid model.ExteriorThe Panamera's shape stays true to the idea of a long, low luxury car that happens to have a hatch, not a traditional trunk. The front end looks cleaner and more modern than before, and the profile still has a fastback look that helps it stand out from the usual big-sedan crowd. Even in base form, it reads like a performance car that happens to be roomy, and higher trims add more aggressive detailing without turning the whole thing into a rolling body kit.The GTS is the visual and attitude shift in this five-trim spread. It pairs its V8 with trim-specific hardware that makes it look and feel more locked in, and it's the one that signals most clearly that Porsche still builds this car for drivers first.PorscheView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe cabin puts you low and forward, with a cockpit-like feel and a strong "everything is within reach" layout. The driving position is excellent, and the front seat area feels properly premium in materials and build quality. The screens and interface do a lot of the heavy lifting for controls, and there is a learning curve if you're used to more button-heavy luxury sedans, but the setup looks modern, and the main interactions feel quick once you settle in.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe front seat area is the clear comfort zone, while the rear is more of a "grand touring" back seat than a stretch-out limo experience. The hatchback design is a real advantage day-to-day, because it makes the Panamera easier to live with than many sedans that look similar from the outside.2026 Porsche PanameraPorscheView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimTrimMSRPPanamera (RWD)$102,800Panamera 4 AWD$109,800Panamera 4 E-Hybrid AWD$115,500Panamera 4S E-Hybrid$126,800Panamera GTS AWD$154,200The 2025 Porsche Panamera's price range spans quite a few trims, but if you want the Panamera experience without launching into the higher-cost and higher-complexity versions, the base car makes the strongest case. It brings the core layout, the performance-first character, and the same fundamental design without forcing a jump into plug-in hardware or the GTS price tier.Key SpecsSpecDetailPanamera / 42.9L Twin-Turbo V6, 348 hp / 368 lb-ft4 E-Hybrid2.9L Twin-Turbo V6 + Electric Motor, 463 hp / 479 lb-ft4S E-Hybrid2.9L Twin-Turbo V6 + Electric Motor, 536 hp, 553 lb-ftGTS4.0L Twin-Turbo V8, 493 hp / 486 lb-ftFuel Economy (EPA-estimated):ModelCityHwyCombinedPanamera18 mpg25 mpg21 mpgPanamera 418 mpg25 mpg21 mpgPanamera 4 E-Hybrid––55 MPGe / 21 mpg (Gas), 28-mi EV rangePanamera 4S E-Hybrid––54 MPGe / 21 mpg (Gas), 28-mi EV rangePanamera GTS16 mpg24 mpg18 mpgDimensionsDimensionValueLength198.9 inWidth76.3 inHeight55.7-56.0 inWheelbase116.1 inCargo (Base and 4 / 4 and 4S E-Hybrid / GTS)17.4-46.9 cu-ft / 15.2-44.6 cu-ft / 16.9-46.3 cu-ftWarrantyCoverageDurationBasic4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain4 years / 50,000 milesHybrid Components8 years / 100,000 milesComplimentary Maintenance1 year / 10,000 milesPros and ConsPros:AdvertisementAdvertisementSharp, confidence-inspiring handling for a big luxury carHatchback layout adds real everyday usefulnessStrong plug-in hybrid output in the 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-HybridGTS delivers V8 character without going to the top-tier modelsCons:Pricing starts high and climbs fast with optionsRear-seat comfort is not as cushy as traditional full-size luxury sedansTouch-heavy controls can take time to learnPlug-in models trade cargo space for battery hardwareVerdictIf you want a luxury car that still prioritizes steering and chassis feel, the Porsche Panamera premium sports sedan remains one of the clearest answers. The base Panamera and Panamera 4 deliver the core personality with a simpler powertrain and the most cargo room, while the 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid add serious shove and useful electric driving capability without losing the car's driver-focused nature.
