6 Highlights of the 2026 Porsche Panamera
Fusing the allure of a luxury sports sedan with the practicality of a hatchback design, the 2026 Porsche Panamera is perfect for driving enthusiasts and executives who want to stand out.
This high-performance car is fast, fun to handle, and incredibly sophisticated inside.
Turbocharged Performance
Under the hood of the 2026 Panamera is a 2.9L twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 348 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. Press the gas pedal to zoom to 60 mph from a standstill in 5.0 seconds and enjoy top track speeds of up to 196 miles per hour when properly equipped with summer tires. Those who want more can choose one of the upper models, which are powered by high-performance gas or hybrid engines.
Multifunction Sport Steering Wheel
Enhanced driving enjoyment comes from the multifunction sport steering wheel with gearshift paddles and a mode switch. All these features make it easy to adjust the power output for various driving conditions without distracting yourself from the road ahead. For added comfort, the steering wheel is wrapped in leather and has a heat function that you can activate with a simple touch of a button.
Porsche Doppelkupplung Transmission
To reach full potential, the Panamera comes standard with an eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) automatic transmission. Whether you choose to drive in automatic mode or engage the paddle shifters, you can expect smooth shifting performance for responsive handling and exceptional fuel economy ratings.
Porsche Active Suspension Management
Another performance highlight is the standard air suspension paired with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system. The system monitors the damping forces constantly and regulates them to ensure smooth riding.
The suspension delivers a standard ground clearance of 5.2 inches and has a low function that reduces the ground clearance to 4.8 inches for enhanced aerodynamic performance. A Smart Lift function is also standard, allowing you to lift the suspension at programmable locations or improve driving performance when cruising the highway.
Luxe Comfort
The sophisticated interior has room for four with 14-way comfort seats at the front and individual seats in the second row. Heated front seats are standard, and the center console extends from front to rear, providing all occupants with small-item storage. For enhanced comfort, rear passengers also get a folding armrest, and you can customize your ride with power-adjustable comfort rear seats.
Porsche Connect
A 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen steals the spotlight at the center of the dash and can pair with an optional 10.9-inch display on the passenger’s side to create a future-inspired digital cockpit. The advanced infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection and comes with built-in navigation and a Voice Pilot assistant. You can also manage the ride remotely with the My Porsche app.
