The line-up currently starts at $205,300 for the Panamera Platinum Edition and ranges through to $432,200 for the range-topping Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.

The base Panamera is a RWD and doesn’t have a hybrid powertrain like its siblings and sports the same 2.9L V6 twin-turbo petrol engine of the outgoing model but it’s been retuned and now produces 260kW of power and 500Nm of torque – both figures are up from the previous model.
All other models have an AWD.
The 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid Turbo models have a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.9L V6 twin-turbo petrol engine with an electric motor. However, outputs differ with the 4 E-Hybrid producing 346kW/650Nm and the 4S E-Hybrid Turbo producing 400kW/750Nm.
The E-Hybrid model has a new hybrid powertrain that combines a 4.0L V8 twin-turbo petrol engine with an electric motor. Together they produce a whopping power output of 500kW and 930Nm of torque.
All models feature an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Panamera is available in eighteen colour choices. They are Black, White, Jet Black Metallic, Ice Grey Metallic, Carrara White Metallic, Volcano Grey Metallic, Dolomite Silver Metallic, Carmine Red, Provence, Madeira Gold Metallic, Lugano Blue, Gentian Blue Metallic, Frozenblue Metallic, Oak Green Metallic Neo, Montego Blue Metallic, Aventurine Green Metallic, Slate Grey Neo and Crayon.
There is also the option for a custom colour for additional cost.
The third-generation Panamera cabin is sumptuously styled with a dashboard that features upgraded technology screens that create an almost cinematic experience. The dual sunroofs against the black headliner create an open-air feel when open and make the cabin feel large. High-end materials are standard but the available trims, accents and upholstery means that the Panamera is highly customisable.
