PORSCHE
Panamera 4 E-Hybrid
The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid with standard
all-wheel drive and an electric range of up
to 31 miles (50 km) was presented in Paris.
The plug-in hybrid vehicle generates 462 hp
of total system output and delivers impressive
fuel consumption of 2.5 l/100 km, which
corresponds to only 56 g/km of CO2 emissions. All figures to date are based upon
the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC).
The new Porsche plug-in hybrid always starts
in electric mode and continues as a zeroemission vehicle with a maximum all-electric
range of 31 miles and a maximum speed on
battery power of 86 mph. The all-wheel drive four-door Porsche still achieves a top track
speed of 172 mph and delivers a total system torque of 516 pound-feet without hesitation. The newest plug-in hybrid sports sedan
breaks the 0-60 barrier in just 4.4 seconds.
The Sport Chrono Package, which integrates a mode switch into the steering wheel,
forms part of the standard equipment on the
Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. The mode switch and
PCM are used to activate the various driving
modes. These modes include the familiar
“Sport” and “Sport Plus” modes from other
Panamera models equipped with the Sport
Chrono Package. The hybrid-specific modes
are “E-Power,” “Hybrid Auto,” “E-Hold,” and
“E-Charge.”
