It's famous for being one of the most powerful and technologically advanced sedans, blurring the lines between sports car and executive cruiser. Well-suited for enthusiasts desiring thrilling performance and luxury, and those who appreciate advanced hybrid technology for both daily commuting and spirited driving.
The 2017-2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has higher-than-average operating costs. Its hybrid powertrain and performance-oriented nature lead to increased complexity, potentially resulting in higher maintenance and repair expenses, especially for battery-related components as the vehicle ages. Insurance costs are also elevated due to the vehicle's high value and performance. Fuel efficiency is better than a non-hybrid equivalent, but premium fuel is required. Reliability is generally good for Porsche, but the advanced hybrid system can introduce unique issues compared to simpler vehicles.
