5 Favorite Features of the 2025 Porsche Panamera

This luxury sedan’s most popular features include its capable powertrain selection, PDK transmission, adaptive air suspension, and ultra-comfortable seats.

High-Performance Powertrains

The Panamera isn’t just any other sedan; it is infused with Porsche’s sports car DNA, which is best expressed through its selection of high-performance powertrains. The entry-level model is powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.9L V6 that generates 348 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted to the sedan’s rear wheels, which gives the vehicle a traction advantage when accelerating. Putting the pedal to the metal sends the entry-level Panamera from 0 to 60 mph in just 5 seconds.

Purists looking for true neck-snapping acceleration will find their match in the track-ready hybrid trim levels. The most powerful among them, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, features a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 and an electric motor. This setup generates a ground-pounding 771 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque, propelling the sedan from 0 to 60 mph in only 2.8 seconds.

PDK Transmission

The Panamera features the iconic 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission. It offers both an automatic mode for daily driving convenience and a manual mode for engaging shifts on the track. As a dual-clutch transmission, the PDK connects odd and even gears to two separate clutches, so the next gear is always ready for shifting. This eliminates traction interruptions, which, in turn, smooths power delivery and reduces your lap times.

Adaptive Air Suspension

A standard adaptive air-spring suspension enhances the ride quality and provides an excellent steering feel in all Panamera models. The setup incorporates two-valve technology, which enables the adaptive dampers to make adjustments independently of each other. On hybrid trims, buyers can opt to have the base air suspension replaced with a more advanced active suspension that uses hydraulic pumps to make instantaneous adjustments.

Ultra-Comfortable Seats

Either four or five passengers (depending on the configuration) enjoy unmatched long-range comfort in the Panamera. The sedan comes with Comfort Seats that offer 14-way power adjustment, multi-stage heating, and memory settings for the front row. Optional upgrades include ventilation and massage for the front seats and heating, ventilation, and massage for the rear seats.

Digital Cockpit

Panamera drivers find themselves surrounded by intuitive controls and HD screens. The sedan comes standard with two displays: a 12.6-inch digital gauge cluster that displays important driving information and a 10.9-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Buyers can add an optional third display to the passenger dash, enabling the front passenger to act as a copilot or access entertainment independently of the driver and other occupants.
