The third-generation Porsche Panamera embodies the fusion of luxury and sportiness, with significant enhancements across design, performance, and technology.
One of the standout features is the Porsche Active Ride suspension system, which strikes a balance between comfort and performance, ensuring a smooth ride while maintaining the car’s dynamic driving characteristics. Coupled with the optional rear-axle steering, the Panamera offers superior handling and agility on the road.
Under the hood, the 2.9-litre V6 turbo engine has been revamped to deliver 353PS and 500Nm of torque – an increase of 23PS and 50Nm compared to its predecessor. This results in improved acceleration and top speed. Combined with the 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the Panamera achieves impressive performance metrics, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds.
The exterior design reflects the Panamera’s sporting character, with modern updates that enhance its visual appeal and aerodynamic efficiency. Inside, the driver-centred control concept ensures intuitive access to essential driving functions, while the optional passenger display integrates the co-pilot into the driving experience seamlessly.
The latest driver-centred control concept is also featured in the new Panamera. An ideal balance between digital and analogue control elements, the Porsche Driver Experience control concept positions the input and output elements essential for driving along the driver’s axis. The gear selector lever is located at the left of the steering wheel. The mode switch for the Normal, Sport and Sport Plus driving programmes and the assistance control stalks are also directly accessible to the driver. This means that they don’t need to take their eyes off the road in order to adjust the drive programmes and assistance systems.
An optional passenger display closely integrates the passenger into the driving experience. The 10.9-inch screen displays vehicle performance data on request. It also allows operation of the infotainment system and supports video streaming while the car is in motion. In order to avoid distracting whomever is behind the wheel, the passenger display cannot be seen from the driver’s seat.
The digital experience is further enriched by the integration of the driver’s personal ecosystem through the Porsche Communication Management (PCM), offering enhanced connectivity and usability. Advanced assistance systems, including standard Matrix LED headlights and traffic sign recognition, elevate safety and convenience for the driver.
With its comprehensive standard equipment and extended range of features, the new Porsche Panamera sets a new benchmark in the luxury sedan segment. Available for order starting from RM1,300,000, it represents a compelling choice for discerning drivers seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology.
