The Panamera and Panamera E-Hybrid carry over with minimal change for 2026.

The Panamera is available in the rear-wheel drive Base trim, the all-wheel drive 4 trim, and the all-wheel drive GTS trim. Both the Base and the 4 are powered by a 2.9L twin turbo V6 engine that produces 348 horsepower. The GTS provides a substantial upgrade in power via its 4.0L twin turbo V8 engine offering 493 horsepower. Each engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The all-wheel drive Panamera E-Hybrid is available in four trims: the 4, 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S. The E-Hybrid is powered by a 2.9L twin turbo V6 for the 4 and 4S while the Turbo and Turbo S receive the upgraded 4.0L twin turbo V8. This produces an impressive range of 463, 536, 670, or 771 horsepower depending on the trim with all trims mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Standard features include a stainless steel dual exhaust system, a power rear spoiler, a power liftgate, a power sunroof with power sunshade, heated auto-dimming side mirrors, LED headlights, cornering lamps, 19-inch wheels, heated bucket seats, front seat memory, automatic dual-zone climate control, an HD satellite radio, a 10-speaker sound system, a 12-inch touchscreen, voice activated navigation, cruise control, mobile hotspot, wireless device connectivity and charging, 4 USB ports, a 12.6-inch gauge cluster, built-in virtual assistant, and a heated steering wheel.

With the extensive Panamera and Panamera E-Hybrid lineup, various upgrades make their way through the range especially in the e-hybrid trims and the GTS. The e-hybrid 4S and Turbo receive upgraded 20" wheels while the Turbo S matches the GTS with 21" wheels. The GTS, Turbo, and Turbo S receive a 14-speaker Bose audio system standard. The GTS and all e-hybrid trims can save their driving memories with a performance data recorder. The head-up display and heated rear seats are limited to the Turbo and Turbo S e-hybrid trims.

Safety features across the lineup include front and rear parking sensors, active lane departure, blind spot warning, forward collision mitigation, rear collision warning, front pedestrian detection, evasion assist, and a traffic sign information system with automatic speed limit assist.

The Panamera continues to be a fairly expensive car. However, it offers the kind of driving experience that is unmatched by any other large luxury sedan. Other manufacturers such as Audi and Mercedes-Benz also build high-performance luxury sedans, but none of those companies have the high-performance know-how to match Porsche. The Panamera doesn't just claim to be a 4-door sports car; it may be the most poised and athletic large sedan ever built.
