The Porsche Panamera really is quite something else , under the bonnet is the 2.9 Turbocharged 462BHP V6 all wheel drive engine with the PDK eight-speed twin-clutch automatic which does a 0 -60 in just 3.7 seconds followed by its s14.1-kW-hr battery that does a range of 30 Miles. If you’re a discerning car enthusiast looking for a one-size-fits-all approach to your family car. More often than not, the cars that are most practical aren’t particularly fun to drive, but sportier options are neither roomy nor efficient. That equation gets even more complicated once you bring efficiency, fuel costs, and climate change-causing emissions into the equation thankfully the 2018 Panamera is easily solved and would make a magnificent family car giving you everything you could possibly need , space , comfort and style all in one .In Hybrid Auto, the Panamera still prioritizes efficient electric driving, but it’ll quickly fire up its V-6 when power is needed or to charge the battery. You can also manually fire up the engine to either save the battery’s state of charge or to charge the battery using petrol engine. When selected into Sport and Sport Plus modes. The most amazing thing to me is how linear this car accelerates considering all the variables in the powertrain , you get a punch in the gut from the electric motor and all-wheel-drive system off the line, and then the Porsche’s V-6 picks up as the motor begins to lose steam. The result is a car that pulls strongly up near its 6,800-rpm redline before the transmission slingshots you into the next highest gear.

The Sport Truismo has some key differences compared to the standard Panamera model such as the elongated roof, Porsche says that everything from the B-pillar rearward has changed. The rear spoiler has also changed positions, moving from the rear of the trunk up to the top of the roof. You get that very cool mechanical action you find when the spoiler unfurls on the regular Panamera, but the spoiler is useful in many different ways. Those changes also have a significant impact on the Sport Turismo’s appearance compared with the standard Panamera. The additional bodywork behind the rear wheels and around the roof and tailgate gives a chunkier look to the tail end which really does turn heads. Other exterior features include front and rear parking sensors with a rear parking camera also.

Inside the cabin on the Panamera dashboard its bursting at the seams with tech too. Ahead of the driver at the front and center is the Porsche Advanced Cockpit instrument cluster: a physical, analog tachometer flanked by dual 7-inch displays that can display vehicle information, audio source, Bluetooth telephony, performance data or a large navigation map. The main event is the 12.3-inch Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment system. This new generation software features a slick, dark design that’s easy to understand and very customizable. The home screen, for example, can be customized with widgets, shortcuts and quick access toggles for commonly used features. The front seats are fully electric and heated making them winter times an absolute delight. The Sport Turismo’s modified shape actually adds headroom to the backseat. The panoramic moonroof could keep the kids entertained for hours and brings a lot more light into the vehicle. Porsche is fond of putting its name in front of everything it makes, and its multimedia and navigation system, Porsche Communication Management, is no exception. The system has a few things going for it, one of them being infrared sensors around both edges of the touchscreen that can detect when your hand is reaching for the screen which can be very handy when you are wanting to select something quickly.

The Porsche Panamera really would make a perfect family car , It also adds something to the car in terms of its visual appeal, providing a more distinctive look which just makes the thing look absolutely incredible.
