970 Panamera Edition – Actual Best Fuel Efficiency is 12.0 km/l, Worst is 5.0 km/l

Maybe my driving skills aren’t great either… With lots of city driving, frequent stops at traffic lights, and heavy traffic, the fuel efficiency just keeps dropping.

The Difference Between the Porsche Panamera and BMW 7 Series Felt in Just 2 Seconds

Considering the BMW 7 Series Our 970 Panamera Edition arrived at our home as the new family car at the end of February 2016. But at first, I had no plans to buy a Panamera. At the start of 2016, I was almost certain that “the new family car would be the new BMW 7 Series”—until a huge last-minute twist changed everything.
