What’s New for the 2024 Porsche Panamera
Porsche gave the Panamera a mid-cycle refresh for 2024, which brings updated styling inside and out, a larger standard infotainment display, more available tech, and standard air suspension.
Design
The Panamera’s look has become less frog-like over the years, as it has picked up Porsche’s revised front-end styling and signature quad-LED daytime running lights. Though it’s a large car, the Panamera’s shape helps it hide some of the girth, and the unique fastback profile sets it apart in a crowded performance luxury car segment.
Powertrain
The 2024 Panamera comes standard with a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 that makes 348 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) comes standard, and buyers can choose between rear- or all-wheel drive (RWD or AWD). The new car picked up 23 horsepower and 37 pound-feet of torque over its predecessor, and can make the run from zero-60 mph in just 4.7 seconds with AWD. Porsche’s DCT cracks off shifts at lightning speed, and while it’s fun to manually shift with the paddles, the gearbox does a fine job when left to its own devices.
Interior
The Panamera seats four as standard, but buyers can opt for a small center seat in the second row. Partial leather comes standard, along with heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Leather, cloth, ventilated seats, massage seats, and more are available. Interior space is generous, especially in four-seat versions, and the large doors make entering and exiting the car a breeze. The front seats are a bit firmer than expected, but visibility is good, and the ergonomics are excellent.
Technology
Porsche equips a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12.6-inch digital gauge cluster in the 2024 Panamera. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM radio, HD radio, voice recognition, four USB-C ports, ten speakers, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and more are also standard.
