Porsche adds the GTS performance model
E-Hybrid lineup expands with three new variants
Part of the third Panamera generation introduced for 2024
Overview
It might have a back seat and a surprising amount of luggage space, but the 2025 Porsche Panamera sedan is a sports car at heart. That's true even with the most affordable model, but to satisfy people with an unquenchable need for speed, the 2025 Panamera lineup expands this year to include new versions more sharply focused on outright performance. Simultaneously, two new plug-in hybrid models make short-distance electric driving more accessible to Panamera buyers. Whichever one you choose, every Panamera blends driving enjoyment with style, luxury, comfort and unexpected practicality.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

Edmunds spotlight: Four new Panamera models for 2025
Porsche more than doubles the number of Panamera models available in 2025. New Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid versions are available at significantly more accessible prices than last year's Turbo E-Hybrid, and while they're not as fast, they're still plenty of fun. A third new E-Hybrid also arrives for 2025: the Turbo S. It is the most powerful production Panamera ever, with total system output measuring 771 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque. If you're not into electrification, the new Panamera GTS might be the right ride. Thanks to its massaged 493-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 engine and other performance modifications, the GTS looks, feels and drives like a four-door sports car. Read our separate Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid first test articles to learn more about what they are like to drive.
Competitors to consider
Audi, BMW and Mercedes-AMG build rivals to the Porsche Panamera, but as of this writing, only the Audi RS 7 and BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe are confirmed to return for the 2025 model year. Notably, neither is available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. There are several electric alternatives to the Panamera, such as the Audi E-tron GT, Lucid Air and Tesla Model S. But if those are on your radar, be sure to take a look at the Panamera's pure electric stablemate, the Porsche Taycan.

out of 10
edmunds TESTED
We drove the 2025 Porsche Panamera on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team
conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
How does the Porsche Panamera drive? We tested the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, which is a plug-in hybrid. At the Edmunds test track, it sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The hybrid powertrain is smooth, with quick shifts and even power delivery. Our only major complaint is the slow response of the gas engine firing up when you floor the gas. Other luxury PHEVs are a bit more responsive in giving you maximum power.
The Panamera's steering and handling are among the best you'll find in a big sedan. It's large, but the sport-tuned suspension makes the car feel lighter and more nimble than other big luxury sedans. Ride quality doesn't suffer. It's not the most plush sedan, but the ride is comfortable and compliant, especially on the highway.
Porsche offers a number of driver aids for the Panamera, but unlike rivals from Mercedes and BMW, there's no option for hands-free driving.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Porsche Panamera? The Panamera's standard sport seats offer good support and adjustment, and Porsche offers upgraded seats as an option. There's plenty of headroom and legroom up front, and Porsche puts all of the controls within easy reach. The rear can be configured in several ways, including a three-seat bench or two seats with a center console. The rear seat is spacious, but the padding is a bit firm (which reduces long-distance comfort), and rivals offer more legroom. The Panamera's controls are almost all easy to reach, though the touch-sensitive buttons aren't as easy to operate as real physical buttons while you're driving.
In-cabin tech
7/10
How’s the tech? Porsche's in-car tech is both better than ever and still lagging behind the competition. The Panamera uses twin digital displays, one for the instrument cluster and a touchscreen in the center for the settings and navigation. The screen is responsive, the menus are easy to navigate, and the maps are clear, but the system doesn't offer the breadth of functions you'll find elsewhere. Device integration is lacking compared to other big luxury cars too. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, and both are wireless, but there are fewer USB ports and wireless charging pads than the competition. And while we're fond of Porsche's car-shaped key fobs, we'd also like if Porsche would offer an option of letting you use your smartphone as a key, as many other luxury automakers do.
How’s storage and cargo? The Panamera E-Hybrid, which is what we tested, offers 15.2 cubic feet of cargo space. That's a little less than what non-hybrid Panamera models offer (the battery takes up a little trunk space) but more than most rivals. The Porsche's sleek roofline is also hiding the fact that it is actually a hatchback, making the available space all the more useful. The tall rear bumper means a somewhat high lift to put stuff in the back, but the cargo area is deep and tall.
While the Panamera excels when it comes to rear cargo space, storage inside the cabin isn't quite as stellar. The door pockets are reasonably spacious, but the center console is tiny and there aren't many good places to fit small items like sunglasses.
Value
7.9/10
Is the Porsche Panamera a good value? The Panamera's build quality is impeccable. It's not as luxurious or opulent as other luxury sedans, but everything inside has a premium feel. The leather is soft, and even the plastic has texture. Fit and finish is excellent, with tight panel gaps inside and out. Even the doors have a solid thunk when you close them. The Panamera is priced slightly higher than most rivals, and adding options can quickly send the price upward by tens of thousands more. Still, few automakers allow you to customize a car to your liking quite like Porsche.
Porsche includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty for the Panamera. The powertrain is covered for the same length. One year of maintenance is included too.
How’s the fuel economy? The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid, meaning it has a small rechargeable battery that will allow the car to run on electricity for an EPA-estimated 28 miles. In city driving, we saw a bit over 30 miles on one charge. That's more than enough for most daily commutes but a lot less than the electric range found in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
When the battery is drained, the Panamera's turbocharged V6 gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined, which is worse than the S-Class or BMW 7 Series.
X factor
9/10
When it comes to big luxury sedans, the best spot to be is usually coddled in the rear seat. Not so with the Panamera. Even the hybrid model is sporty and fun to drive. The Panamera E-Hybrid still feels large and heavier than our favorite sport sedans, but it's more engaging to drive than most cars with four doors, hybrid or otherwise. What you give up in rear seat comfort and features, the Porsche makes up for in driver engagement. Other big luxury sedans feel a little more special, but few are as fun.
Which Panamera does Edmunds recommend?
This year we're recommending one of the new models to join the lineup: the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid. A reasonable price (for a Panamera), electric-only driving capability, and impressive performance make this version of the car the best of all worlds. Add the Premium package for popular comfort, safety and driver assistance features.
The Edmunds experts tested the 2025 Panamera both on the road and at the track, giving it a 7.4 out of 10. What about cargo capacity? When you're thinking about carrying stuff in your new car, keep in mind that carrying capacity for the Panamera ranges from 14.9 to 15.2 cubic feet of trunk space. And then there's safety and reliability. Edmunds has all the latest NHTSA and IIHS crash-test scores, plus industry-leading expert and consumer reviews to help you understand what it's like to own and maintain a Porsche Panamera. Learn more
