2017 Porsche Panamera Sedan

The 2017 Porsche Panamera Sedan is Bringing Fresh Powertrains and Features!

The new Porsche Panamera is scheduled to arrive in early 2017 – and its already wowing performance car fans with its overtly sporty styling and ultra-modern technology. Its new aluminum-forged body is sharper and longer, giving the Panamera a more athletic appearance and an edge on the roadways. Built in Leipzig, Germany alongside its Cayenne and Macan siblings, the Panamera captures the Porsche spirit with its lightning-fast acceleration, turbo engines, and driver-centric cabin. Read on for a peek at what the upcoming Panamera has in store!

Fast-Accelerating Engines Backed by All-Wheel Drive

Upon its release, the 2017 Porsche Panamera 4S will feature a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 440 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. The 2017 Panamera Turbo, on the other hand, gets a 550-hp 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, which summons 567 lb-ft of torque and bolts from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Later down the line, Fremont and Newark drivers can anticipate a 3.0L turbo V6 engine, as well as a new hybrid powertrain. The following performance and handling features, however, will be available at launch:

• All-wheel drive
• 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission built by ZF and tuned by Porsche
• Control-arm front and multi-link rear suspension system
• Optional three-chamber air suspension system (includes Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus settings)
• Optional electronically actuated rear-wheel steering
• Optional Sport Chrono Package

A Cutting-Edge, Button-Free Interior

As well as sportier exterior stylings, the 2017 Panamera brags a modernized, somewhat minimalistic cabin. For the new year, the Panamera is doing away with conventional buttons and gauges, save the analog tachometer and optional Sport Chrono analog timer. Instead, you’ll find two 7-inch TFT screens – one on either side of the tachometer – that display speed, outside temperature, etc. To complete its refined look and feel, the Panamera will also include:

• 12.3-inch central display screen with navigation
• Apple CarPlay compatibility
• 14-way power front seats with memory (standard on Turbo)
• Four-zone automatic climate control
• Porsche Car Connect app
• 710-watt BOSE Surround-Sound System

Intelligent Active Safety Systems

Like its predecessor, the 2017 Panamera gets a full suite of safety features. For dependable stability, Porsche Traction Management uses a multi-plate clutch to regulate front- and rear-axle drive force, as well as sensors to monitor steering angle, wheel rotation, and more. As is typical of Porsche, stopping power is a given, thanks to its 14.2-inch front/13-inch rear rotors for the 4S, and 16.1-inch front/15-inch rear rotors for the Turbo. The 2017 Panamera will also feature the below driver assists to give you a little extra support on the road:

• Rearview camera
• Front and rear parking sensors
• Optional Night Vision Assist
• Optional InnoDrive with Adaptive Cruise Control
• And more!
