Porsche Introduces 4 and 4S Variants to E-Hybrid Range
Two new V6 versions of the Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid have been unveiled, expanding the line-up to now include the 4 and 4S models. These new variants, equipped with a revamped plug-in hybrid system, are poised to dominate UK sales upon their imminent release.
Enhanced Hybrid System
The latest models come with significant upgrades to the plug-in hybrid module, featuring a larger 25.9kWh battery that powers a more robust 187bhp electric motor, offering a remarkable 60 miles of pure electric range. The battery now recharges in just over 2.5 hours, thanks to an improved 11kW on-board charger. Moreover, these models boast up to 88kW of regenerative capacity from the electric motor and come with refined driver modes for optimized performance.
Powerful Performances
Both the 4 and 4S models combine the hybrid module with Porsche’s twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engine, offering varying power outputs. The 4 variant generates 463bhp and 650Nm, accelerating from 0 to 62mph in 4.1 seconds, while the more potent 4S produces 536bhp and 750Nm, lowering the 0-62 time to 3.7 seconds. Power is transmitted to all four wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, with the e-motor fully integrated into the PDK housing.
Cutting-Edge Features
The new Panamera models are equipped with standard-fit dual-chamber air suspension, with optional dual-valve dampers, and Porsche’s innovative active suspension system for enhanced driving dynamics. Various advanced chassis technologies like rear-wheel steering and carbon ceramic brakes are offered as options, along with an array of interior, tech, and styling choices.
