Reviews & Test Rides

How does my husband rate the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid? How does it compare to the Cayenne?

Late last year, courtesy of a blog reader.I had the opportunity to test drive the Panamera 4E Hybrid.I recently wrote a sensory impression, and my husband also wrote a review, if you would like to read it.

Porsche Panamera 4E-Hybrid

It was late December, close to the end of the year. A sapphire blue Panamera stood out in the midst of the cold rain.

I had seen a sapphire blue Panamera twice in the past, but seeing it again, it is very cool.I was very confused about this color when I bought my Panamera Turbo, but I wish I had taken the plunge and gone with this one.It's so cool that you might regret it a little.

Although it is a sports sedan, it exudes a supercar-like aura, and in a sense, it may stand out more than a supercar. When asked by the owner, it seems that many people stare at it on the street and follow it with their eyes.Is there something on the car?He says he feels uneasy.

I immediately sat in the driver's seat to check the feeling.This time the car is a Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. Almost the same system as the Cayenne E-Hybrid in our house.So I would like to focus my review on those differences.

Driving the Panamera 4E-Hybrid

Turn the ignition switch to "READYThe driver presses the accelerator pedal to make sure that the display shows "A".This area is the same as the Cayenne E-HybridIt is.

When I evaluate a car, IVery low speed feeling from the first roll of the tireThe driver of a car with a good suspension feels a firm ground contact even at very low speeds. A car with a good suspension system has a firm sense of ground contact even at very low speeds, and the high precision of the workmanship can be clearly seen in the lack of clutter in the drivetrain.

henceIt gives you the sensation that the tires begin to rotate smoothly and with a very high degree of roundness.The first is the "I" in "I".

The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is the best example of this.It starts very smoothly, especially with the thick torque produced by the electric motor from the start.I've had a Panamera Turbo, a Panamera 4S, and a Panamera GTS.This hybrid model is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of its smoothness.I think.

The Cayenne E-Hybrid also has a smooth start, but it feels lighter than the Cayenne, as if a lightness has been added to it. I think this is due to the difference in the weight of the car.Difference between PDK and TiptronicI think there are also

First of all, let's keep the "E-POWERThe car continues to run in the "Go" mode. The car easily climbs up the Ashiu slope with ease, even with three adults in the car. I did not feel that the motor was lacking in power at all. Of course, you can't experience the rush of acceleration when driving on electric power alone, but the power is more than enough for normal driving.

I went straight around the bend.The body is as light as a lie.It is hard to believe that the vehicle is almost 300 kg heavier with the battery and motor. This is a truly remarkable feeling.

Says the owner who actually owned a 970 Panamera and a 971 Panamera Turbo and drove them extensively.So, please trust me.

In an attempt to somehow find the negatives of the weight, I sharpen my nerves and pay attention to the steering feel and roll sensations whenever a curve comes, but I can't tell any difference at all.In fact, it even feels more nimble than the Panamera GTS and Turbo on winding roads.The first is the "I" in "I".
