2013 Porsche Panamera Hybrid S 4dr Hatchback

Overview

The Porsche Panamera Hybrid brings sports car performance, advanced fuel saving technology and untraditional styling to the full-size premium luxury sedan class. The Panamera S Hybrid uses the same powertrain as the Cayenne Hybrid, a 333-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 combined with a 47-hp electric motor and an eight-speed automatic transmission with auto stop-start. A unique feature of the Panamera Hybrid is the ability to cruise at highway speeds on electric power alone. The body appears to be a four-door sedan but with a coupe-like profile and a power liftgate, rather than a typical trunk, for access to the spacious luggage area. Standard safety features include ten airbags, adaptive bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, rain sensing wipers, full LED rear lighting, four belt pretensioners and electronic traction and stability control. A small sample of optional tech features includes a 6-disc CD changer, Bose surround sound, Burmester surround sound, front and rear ParkAssist, an electronic logbook and voice control. The Panamera S Hybrid is a carryover for 2013.
