With the addition of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and Panamera 4 E-Hybrid to the recently announced Panamera 4S E-Hybrid with its 560ps (412kW) system output, Porsche is systematically expanding its E-Performance strategy across its plug-in hybrid model lineup.

The most powerful Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid generates a system output of 700ps (514kW) by combining a 4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 571ps (420kW) and an electric motor with 136ps (100kW). The electric system is integrated into the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK). With the standard Sport Chrono package, it achieves 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor, and reaches a top speed of 315km/h, 5 km/h faster than its predecessor.
Meanwhile, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid features a 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo engine with 330ps (243kW), the same as the previous generation, complemented by an electric system to produce a system output of 462ps (340kW). It accelerates from a standstill to 100km/h in just 4.4 seconds (-0.2 seconds compared to the predecessor) and reaches a top speed of 280km/h (+2km/h compared to the predecessor).

The total capacity of the high-voltage battery has increased from 14.1kWh to 17.9kWh through the use of optimized cells, with driving modes adapted for more efficient energy utilization. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid offers an all-electric driving range of up to 50km in WLTP EAER City mode (NEDC: up to 59km), while the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid can travel up to 56km (WLTP EAER City mode, NEDC: up to 64km) on battery power alone.
Porsche plug-in hybrid models can be charged at home via a standard household outlet or power socket. Using the standard Porsche Mobile Charger, charging capacity of up to 7.2kW is available depending on the model.
