Thanks: GUDVIN Location: 2025 Porsche Panamera / Panamera E-Hybrid Highs: High-tech features abound, sport-over-luxury road manners are true to Porsche's ethos, just try to resist its menu of high-priced options. Lows: Screen-heavy dashboard may not appeal to everyone, interior noise levels are higher than they should be, XXL price tag. Verdict: Porsche's four-door sports car offers driving thrills, daily-driver practicality, and an abundance of luxury—and you'll pay dearly for its special mix of character traits. Overview It might have its engine up front and a duo of extra doors but it's clear from the way that the 2025 Porsche Panamera sedan drives that it's a close relative of the iconic 911 sports car. Up front is a turbocharged V-6 with 348 horsepower; an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends the power to the rear or all four wheels. The performance-oriented GTS model comes with a twin-turbocharged V-8 with 493 horsepower. There's also a pair of plug-in-hybrid models—the 4 E-Hybrid and the 4S E-Hybrid—which bump power up to 463 and 536 horsepower, respectively. An even more powerful Turbo E-Hybrid plug-in-hybrid model is on offer, which we review separately. The standard Panamera is a pricey option among premium sports sedans, requiring a six-figure outlay even for the base trim. What you get for that scratch is a spacious interior with high-tech features and top-shelf luxury. For example, the dashboard can be equipped with up to three separate displays—one for gauges, a central display for infotainment, and a third screen on the right for the front passenger. Spend more money and you can outfit the Panamera with leather wrapping just about every interior surface. Or ignore the bottom line and create a one-off personalized version via the laundry list of à la carte options and Porsche's Paint to Sample program (the company will match any color swatch you provide). What you won't be able to get with any Panamera is a floaty, luxury-barge ride lazy handling, or wimpy acceleration. This is a luxury car built exclusively for driving enthusiasts.
