Porsche introduced the third generation Panamera model. The press service of the German manufacturer reported that the cars will go on sale in March 2024.
The length of the new Porsche Panamera is 5052 mm. The basic version of the model had a 2.9-liter V6 turbo engine producing 353 hp. (500 Nm). Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 5.1 seconds, while in the all-wheel drive version this is 0.3 seconds faster. The power plant of the hybrid Panamera is based on a four-liter V8 engine with a total power of 680 hp. (930 Nm). Such a car can accelerate to “hundreds” in 3.2 seconds and travel up to 93 kilometers on electric power.
The new product featured rear wheels with steering, a two-chamber, two-valve adaptive air suspension and a body roll control system with which the car could lean into bends like a motorcycle. A third screen has appeared on the front panel of the cabin, through which the front passenger can read data about the state of the car’s systems and control the infotainment system. The transmission control selector has been moved to the steering column.
In Europe, prices for the basic Porsche Panamera start at 107.8 thousand euros (10% more expensive than the second-generation model), while the price of the hybrid version starts at 192.5 thousand euros.
Previously in Russia started sales of crossover rival Kia Seltos.
