FAST FACTS
"Like many Porsche products, the plug-in Panamera E-Hybrid lineup leaves us nodding sagely and saying, 'Yep. Pretty much nailed it.' The first question about a plug-in hybrid is often how much electric range it has, and the Panamera PHEVs have a good answer: figure 35-40 miles before the gas engine kicks on, which should be enough to avoid refueling for weeks or even months, if that's your goal. Okay, how about acceleration? The worst 0-60 time in the lineup is 3.9 seconds, which the top-shelf Turbo S E-Hybrid whittles down to 2.8 seconds. There's also the PHEV-exclusive Active Ride suspension, which enhances ride comfort and uses independent air springs to counteract squat, dive and body roll. If the price doesn't scare you away, there's little else here to quibble with."—Ranked #2 out of 3 Full-Size Luxury PHEV Sedans
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 2025 Porsche Panamera Plug-In Hybrid that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.

The 4 E-Hybrid is the entry-level Panamera plug-in-hybrid, but there's nothing basic about its acceleration or driving dynamics. It does add about 650 pounds compared to the non-hybrid Panamera 4, though, so if you care about the way your luxury sedan takes a corner, you might want to drive the two back-to-back and assess.
Putting the "S" in the 4 S E-Hybrid nets you an extra 73 horsepower, but it's the same basic hardware here: a 2.9-liter turbo V6 that's slightly tuned up from non-S spec, plus an electric motor with the exact same output as in the non-S version. Is that worth another 11 grand or so? Honestly, by the standards of Porsche upcharges, this one is pretty modest. Our advice, as usual, is to drive both back-to-back and see if you feel enough of a difference to shell out the extra cash.
Stepping up to the Turbo E-Hybrid may seem redundant, since every Panamera Hybrid uses a turbocharged gas engine, but the key difference here is the number of cylinders. You get eight of them in the Turbo E-Hybrid, and together they sing a beautiful song, as this is one of the most refined and effortlessly capable V8s on the planet. Pair it with the same robust electric motor as in the lesser E-Hybrid models and you've got a recipe for mega acceleration. This Porsche is a heckuva way to wait out these early years of the EV revolution — you can have your old-school V8 fun whenever you want, or flip it into electric mode and skip refueling for a while. Win-win.
What makes people stop at the "regular" Turbo E-Hybrid? Why wouldn't every serious shopper upgrade to the Turbo S? It's a serious question, because surely the answer isn't about price. You pay roughly $35k more to start for the Turbo S E-Hybrid, but what you get in return is the best Panamera PHEV that Porsche could dream up. We're honestly a bit disappointed that Porsche wasn't able to match the Mercedes-AMG S63 PHEV's preposterous 1,055 lb-ft of torque, but we'll get over it. The Panamera is nearly a foot shorter, after all, so it's that much more of a driver's car, and we figure 0-60 in 2.8 seconds is quick enough for most tastes. Plus, the Benz doesn't even give you half of the Turbo S's projected EV range.
