Panamera Sport Turismo

A few months ago, my brother-in-law purchased a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo. I have previously posted a test drive comparison between the Panamera and the Panamera Sport Turismo on this blog.

→[Reference article] Four differences between the Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo and general comments - Comparative Test Drive Vol. 2

Today, one of the options that come with this Panamera Sport TurismoAmbient light."I would like to introduce you to the following.

What is Ambient Light?The lights in the front seat footwells, overhead console, center console illumination, and front and rear illuminated loudspeaker trim will be available in a choice of seven colors."This is called.

The option price is 77,000 yen.

My brother-in-law bought a new Panamera that was already at the dealer, so it seems that this "ambient light" came with it by chance. Since Panamera is a luxury sedan, I wonder if there are many people who have this kind of option.

Let's use ambient light!

Therefore, I would like to introduce what it actually looks like when you turn on this ambient light at night. First of all, with the touch panelVehicle→Control→Ambient Lights.to bring up a screen for setting the color and brightness.

Colors.Seven colors such as "red, blue, green..."For brightness, you can choose fromRoof, doors, center console, footwells."Each of these can be configured individually. So, to see how it actually works like that, first of all, the overhead console would look like this.

The color changes the atmosphere of the interior of the car a little. Next, the lights at the foot of the front seats look like this.

If you pull it down and photograph the entire image, it will look like this.

I see... Well, I guess that's it as far as functions go.

This is a matter of taste, but I prefer the normal lights. If I went on a road trip with a guy and he showed me the interior of his car at night with lights like this... I might be a little turned off (-_-)."Oh, I don't like this person."I feel like I would think that....

And if you're paying less than 80,000 yen for options, Porsche Crest Embossed Headrests.(Porsche Crest embossing on the headrests of front and rear seats: 74,000 yen)I wonder if it is more attractive to ...(This ↓↓)

Inside the Sport Turismo

For other trunks, seeIt's still wider and easier to load than the Panamera.It was a feeling. I've commented on this blog before.The Panamera Sport Turismo's rear gate opens from bumper level, making it easy to load heavy, large suitcases."He wrote.

The rear seats accommodate five passengers.

If there are five people in the car, can they sit quite comfortably with an adult on each side and a child in the middle? The photo below shows a version with child mats on the rear seats.

The optional sunroof is large and looks nice on sunny days.

But still, there are so many options that I don't know about yet. The options that personally interest me are.The "massage function" of the seat.I don't think we will install it when we purchase the car ourselves, but I would like to have a taste of "how good the massage quality really is" and "what it is like to enjoy sporty driving while having the massage function installed"... (laughs).

    I put it on too. Ambient light.
    I put it on because I thought it would make the kids happy.
    In fact, it is very popular with my 3 year old. (He'll probably get bored of it soon...)

    I would not recommend this option to others.

    Not to change the subject, but it's not possible to play all the music on the SD at random, is it?
    It seems that I can only play randomly by album.
    It would have been made by Clarion in the previous generation Panamera.

      Mr. Neriten.
      Thank you for your comment!
      Ambient light...I'm sorry to write that I don't have good taste.

      Surely the little ones will appreciate it!
      There is a sense of entertainment.

      >I know this is off topic, but can't you play all the music on the SD at random?
      >It seems that I can only play random playback on an album basis.

      I see!!! I just looked at the spec manual for the Panamera.
      It doesn't give any details...I guess it's impossible...

      I'll ask my husband again ^^^.
