Following its end-2023 Shanghai debut, the all-new Porsche Panamera has officially arrived in Singapore.
Now in its third generation, the sporting luxury saloon boasts a fresh, expressive design, and greater levels of digitised features. It retains the characteristic lines and proportions of its predecessors, but Panamera buyers now have the option of a longer wheelbase variant.
The redesigned front end is complemented by muscular arches and redesigned headlights featuring the iconic four-point LED daytime running lights. For the first time, centre-lock wheels are specified as standard on the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. Customers can choose from a variety of new wheel designs across the Panamera range.
At the rear, the signature Porsche light bar forms part of a redesigned rear cluster, while the familiar Panamera silhouette is tapered off with the rear window’s outer edges flush with the body contour creating harmonious rear lines.
You’ll find Porsche’s new Driver Experience cockpit concept on the inside. The gear selector lever is directly to the right of the steering wheel. Drive mode switches and assistance control stalks are also directly accessible to the driver.
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 driving. In order to avoid distracting the driver, the passenger display cannot be seen from the driver’s seat.
Powering the all-new Panamera is a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6. A heavily revised version of the engine that powered its predecessor, key enhancements mean 260 kW (353 PS) and 500 Nm of torque, an increase of 17 kW (23 PS) and 50 Nm from before. This shortens the Panamera’s sprint to 100 km/h to 5.1 seconds and boosts its top speed to 272 km/h.
Three hybrid powertrains are also available at launch in Singapore. With a rated battery capacity of 25.9 kWh (gross), the new high voltage battery provides around 45 per cent more capacity in a comparable space.
The cars have been fitted with new 11 kW AC Chargers, which shortens the charging time to two hours and 39 minutes. With 140 kW (190 PS) and 450 Nm of torque, the completely new electric motor offers significantly more power than its predecessor.
Interested parties can now order their new Panamera. Prices start from SGD$498,468 (without COE), with deliveries set to begin in the second half of 2024.
