Porsche is cooking up something new for the start of the third-generation Panamera. While it’s true form has yet to be revealed, camouflaged prototypes wearing wide-eyed LED matrix beam headlights are a very strong hint at what the new Panamera will look like in production form. Little information has been released, but Porsche says the base twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6 returns with at least 350 horsepower. An all-electric Panamera is still expected on a new scalable platform, but we won’t see it for at least another four years. The higher-performance Panamera Turbo model, reviewed separately, has also been teased, but details surrounding pricing, trims, and horsepower are classified until we get a little closer to the model’s on sale date.
What’s New for 2024?
Porsche updates the Panamera’s new generation with more horsepower and discontinues the Panamera Sport Turismo version, citing fewer than 10 percent of Panamera buyers were picking that one. The base engine now has approximately 350 horsepower or slightly more, up 25-ish from the 2023 model year. The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system is now standard. More acoustic absorbers have been installed to keep the cabin comfortably quiet. A new front and rear fascia are also on the 2024 Panamera, giving it a fresher look, and the cockpit has been redesigned with new large screens in the revised dashboard.
