The Panamera is available in eight different trims, and while some change very little, they can be just what someone is looking for from their four-door Porsche. Three engines are on offer, with the base power plant arriving as a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 with 330 hp. A 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 is also available with 440 hp, while the range-topping GTS model is the only variant equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 453 hp. All models come with an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, and models featuring a 4 or the GTS badge send power to each corner, with the others being rear-wheel-drive. Leather upholstery and LED exterior lighting are standard, along with dual-zone climate control, adaptive dampers, a panoramic sunroof, and heated front seats. Each model is fitted with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display and is capable of using SiriusXM satellite radio and Apple CarPlay. Available features are extensive and include massaging heated and ventilated seats for both front and rear occupants.
The base model is available with various packages, as are many of the upper trims, although some are standard as you work your way up. For example, on the GTS, you get 18-way adaptive front seats as standard. On the regular Porsche Panamera, this option will cost $3,320. Also available is the Premium Package Plus, which costs $6,250 and adds 14-way front seats, lane-change assist, soft-close doors, heated rear seats, a Bose 14-speaker sound system, and adaptive LED headlights. You also get ventilation on the front seats, but many of these features are standard on the 10 Years Edition. If you want to opt for those adaptive headlights, two systems are available: regular LEDs for $1,020 or LED Matrix headlights for $2,220. Of course, performance enthusiasts will want the Sport Chrono package for launch control, additional driving modes, and the analog lap timer/clock atop the dash, which is standard on the GTS but optional on lesser trims.
