FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Porsche Panamera that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The base Panamera's 2.9-liter turbo V6 seems a bit tame to us for Porsche's flagship four-door. We'd expect more than 348 horsepower at this level, and we bet a lot of Panamera shoppers would agree. Fortunately, help is on the way for 2025 in the form of additional Panamera variants with more power, but this is the only engine you can get for 2024. We'd wait till next year.
Adding all-wheel drive knocks a few tenths off the Panamera's 0-60 time, but we're still hung up on that 2.9-liter turbo V6 under the hood. There are far more powerful versions of it that are used across the Volkswagen group, so we can't figure why the Panamera got stuck with the 348-horsepower unit. Even the entry-level Panamera engine should have more oomph than this.
