Version 4 of the E-Hybrid not only makes the Porsche Panamera more environmentally friendly, but also faster.

Pagella

The Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is one of the most interesting versions of the lineup. It has nearly 50km of battery life on an all-electric motor, is faster and more powerful than the 4S, and also costs less. The extra weight of the batteries does not affect the incredible maneuverability of this flagship.

If the future is electricity, the present is certain plug ibrido, "E-Hybrid" if you are in the Porsche home. There Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid in fact, he has two hearts, one heat and one electrical. When electric motor и 2,9-liter turbocharged V6 petrol engine Together, the total power reaches 462 hp and the torque reaches 700 Nm.

Aesthetically, it remains the same in every way as its sisters in this line, except for those acid-yellow details (calipers, plates and lettering) that make it a hybrid. That's right, on the other hand, if I bought a hybrid, I would like people to know.

Even the space on board remained the same: generous, to put it mildly, for everyone and 4 passengers, с 405-liter trunk and every desired luxury.

The only difference is the well-known wheel on the steering wheel, which is typically used to switch between Normal, Sport, Sport + and Individual modes. Now there is one "E" (electric) and "H" (hybrid), while the two dedicated to performance remain. It really allows you to transform the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid to suit your mood. In "E" you will only use 136 hp. the electric motor, even if you fully accelerate; in H, the car finds the best way to maximize efficiency by confusing and constantly switching from one engine to another, with amazing results.

CITY

The only problem with Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, at least in the city, such dimensions: this 5,05 meters long and 1,94 meters widewhich is not tragic, but not ideal for the invention of creative parking spaces. However, turn the wheel to the “E” position and you can truly enjoy the futuristic side of the E-Hybrid: i 136 hp electric motor they are much larger than you would expect, thanks to instant and constant torque. At traffic lights, it clicks quickly and quietly, like a submarine, without consuming a drop of gas, and if you are good enough, you can continue like this until 50 km. Battery autonomy is low, but Enough to guarantee you a ride from home to office, shopping, or picking up your kids from school... To recharge them, simply plug them into the garage, to a speaker, or turn on Sport and Sport + modes and let the heat engine recharge them (the last solution I prefer).

However, the Panamera holds your hand, showing you in real time on the tachometer how much electricity you have, how much you consume and how much you recover with your guide.

IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

La Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid It has double soul even outside the city; first of quiet traveler: in mixed, according to House, it can consume 2,5 l / 100 km, but only for the first 100 km (since 50 of them are made only in electric mode). What impressed us was its average of 9,5 l / 100 km on a route of about 300 km, consisting of ups and downs, national roads and highways. Not bad for a car out of 2,3 tons and 462 hp.... But the real Panamera magic happens when you turn the iconic steering wheel to Sport or Sport +. The whole car shrinks, the V6 clears its throat, and the 8-speed PDK gearbox begins to follow your mind. The Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is also equipped with 4D chassis control system (four-wheel steering system, all-wheel drive and PASM adaptive dampers), controlled by an electronic brain, very capable of driving all of these elements. Translated: The Panamera takes corners with the same agility as the 911, and even more restrained. The four-wheel steering "shortens" the pace of the car when cornering, making it as easy as a bicycle.

Thus, the two motors guarantee instant and constant thrust, but not harsh.. An electrician's invisible hand throws you forward from a thousand revolutions with a reaction that is simply unknown to heat engines. The V6 will then take care of the rest of the tachometer. It's not very fast, it's fast enough: The house declares one thing 0-100 km / h in 4,6 seconds and a top speed of 275 km / h.

I might have preferred the rougher sound, at least in Sport mode, to further separate the Hybrid's two characters, but that's a slight downside.

In truth, the Panamera has it all: it is fast, attractive and, if necessary, relaxing.

шосе

La Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid it is an excellent millstone. In the eighth gear mode, the engine slumbers at 2.000 rpm, but if desired, you can maintain the code speed even in the "E" mode with the engine off, even if not for many kilometers. Anyway The Panamera runs quietly and slyly, with a worst-case average of 9 l / 100 km.

LIFE ON BOARD

THE interiors - the perfect combination of past and future: the central tunnel with touch keys resembles an airliner and ends 12,3-inch large-screen infotainment system... It can be divided into two compartments, customized as desired and guaranteed access to virtually all vehicle functions. The dashboard materials and workmanship are impeccable, and by hand placing the wallet you can decorate the interior with carbon fiber fittings, sports seats and whatever else you find on a (very long) Porsche option list.

Space chapter: behind you in half, you are like a pash (the third seat is only available in the Sport Turismo version), there is also a special screen for adjusting the climate, seats and vents. Trunk out 405 liters then it will be deep and “square” enough to meet all your space needs.

PRICE AND COSTS 7

La Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid coast 115.751 euro, o € 6.000 less than the Panamera 4S (not a hybrid), which, however, has 20 hp. less and not everyone likes hybrid advantages, including free blue parking in some cities, entry into zone C or the fact that there is no payment for the kW of the electric motor. In terms of consumption, we have to assume that those who buy a hybrid car for 115.000 Euro do not do so because of the need to save on travel costs; Having said that, if you go 50 km per day, The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid does not waste a single milliliter of petrol, and even with both engines the average value we measured 9,5 l / 100 km is really impressive.
