Originally.I started this blog because I love Panamera.Now I write articles about Porsches other than the Panamera, but at the time of its establishment, I wrote only about the Panamera every single day.
And recently, I've been getting more and more comments on past articles I've written about the Panamera, where I wrote, "I didn't know the Panamera was ____! Good to know in advance.In response to many of you writing to us with content such as
(971) Things you might want to know before buying a Panamera.
We decided to summarize the following information about the
."The Panamera is big.I don't think I have to write anything about the size of the Panamera... (-_-) When I checked the size of the normal Panamera again, I found that it is about the same size as the original Panamera, but the size of the Panamera is much smaller.
Height: 1,425 mm, Width: 1,935 mm, Length: 5,050 mm
It has become a Because of this size, the Panamera must have aparking time problemis followed.
In suburban parking lots, there is no problem because the width of one car is often wide enough, but many urban parking lots and standing parking lots are narrow. So, even in places where you have been able to park your car without any problem, you may find it difficult to park in a parking lot.You can't park in a Panamera.(You can park there if you want to, but the risk of rubbing is great.)The following situations will be encountered.
In addition, theThe loopholes that used to be used normally will no longer be able to be driven on.(It can be driven, but the risk is high when passing oncoming traffic.)I think you should also consider the following.
The Panamera is often compared to luxury sedans such as the Mercedes S-Class. Naturally, the "Panamerakeyless entry(Has the option name changed from Comfort Access to Porsche Entry and Drive System?)is standard equipment, right?I would think, "I'm not sure I can do that," but that's not the case.
Porsche is a sports car manufacturer, and the Panamera is more a sports car than a luxury sedan.(I realized this the other day when I compared my ride with a Mercedes S63AMG coupe)Perhaps that is why the keyless entry feature is currently an optional choice. The Panamera Turbo, by the way, comes standard.
The standard equipment may change in the future, but according to the information we received from Porsche Owner's File, the following is a list of the models that will be equipped as standard equipment.Keyless entry was not standard on the Panamera 4S, at least as of the October 2018 delivery.
Last October, the Panamera GTS was unveiledThe Panamera GTS was And this Panamera GTS has an optional "4 + 1 sheetNow you can choose the "I"! In other words.Rear seats can accommodate three people.That is to say. Until now, in purchasing a Panamera
The Panamera is a 4-seater... If I want a 5-seater, I should get a Sport Turismo... But then, the Cayenne would be a more relaxing ride. But then I'd have to go for an SUV... then maybe an S-Class or a 7-Series...
I am very grateful that I don't have to worry about that anymore.
Later, in a comment on this blog, he said, "Panamera as of November 2018 order, with 4+1 seats available.I wonder if the regular Panamera is now available to choose from, since someone wrote "I'm not sure.
It would be a good idea to check with your dealer representative about this before you buy.
Below is an addendum to the 4+1 sheet (3.14.2019) from a reader who asked for an earful
Speaking of which, here's a follow-up on the 4+1 seat. Option cost is ¥137,000 as of November 2019.(Tax included)So I adapted it to a base grade Panamera and found something interesting!
In the Sport Turismo, there are switches on either side to electrically fold down the rear seats from inside the rear trunk, but there are no switches for the 4+1 seats.It was It was originally located directly above the luggage net and in front of the trunk light. Not all of the rear seat equipment was the same as in the Sport Turismo. I thought it would be more convenient to have a switch, but I also thought it might be safer to have a manual switch if I put something in the back seat! (Mr. Tommy)
."The must have option for the Panamera is rear axle steering!and as I have written many times on this blog, this option is a must for a behemoth like the Panamera.
When making a sharp turn, making a U-turn, parking, driving on a winding road, etc.It makes all the difference without it.(The 970 Panamera Edition that we previously had in our house did not have rear axle steering, but the difference is obvious.)
In fact, people around me who have purchased a Panamera, as well as blog readers, have said, "Rear axle steering is the right thing to put on!Many people say, "I'm not a Porsche owner. For example, in a previous Porsche Owner's File report.
Due in part to the long wheelbase effect of the rear axle steering, large curves at high speeds are driven through as if they were straight lines; even in situations where U-turns are made, the short wheelbase effect of the rear axle steering can be felt there.Where previously a full lane of traffic had to turn, it is now possible to turn around in one lane without strain.

I previously blogged about "Ability to move the front passenger seat from the driver's seat in the Panamera Turbo.With regard to the "Panamera 4, Panamera 4, Panamera 4S, Panamera 4 Executive, and Panamera 4S Executive standard seats," this feature is not supported by theElectric seats with 14-way memory function (front seats) optionalThe "A" must be selected.
Incidentally, this "Electric seats with 14-way memory function (front seats) optionalIf the "Easy Entry" seat is selected as an option, the steering column will also be electrically adjustable to enhance the easy-entry function.(With the standard seat in place, the steering wheel won't even move with the easy-entry feature.)
According to what you reported in the Porsche Owner's File.971 Panamera 4E Hybrid as of January 2018 delivery.The connector for PHV/EV is J1772.
CHAdeMO
SAE J1772 (or is there a notation like IEC62196?)
While there are two types ofOnly J1772 connector compatible with Panamera 4E HybridHe said. "There's a free charging port in my neighborhood, so that's convenient!" but if the connector shape of the charging port there is different, charging will not be possible.
Panamera's V6 engine comes in two types: 3.0L (2995cc) and 2.9L (2894cc)but the 3.0L engines used in the stock and 4 are Audi engines.(Designed by Porsche, built by Audi)It is believed that this is the case.(Referenced article:.Inside Porsche's new V8 and V6 powertrains.(Audi A8 55 TFSI Quattro (4WD/8AT) [Test Drive])
However, not long ago, my husband was talking to the service manager at the nearest Porsche Center and he said, "Now every Panamera engine is made by Porsche.He mentioned glancingly that "I'm not sure," so perhaps all of them are equipped with Porsche engines.
It is possible that the Porsche Center does not know about the changes in the model's specifications or the detailed options.(It's hard to keep up with all the latest news, isn't it?)Basics.Do your own research and ask questions here before you buy if you have any concerns.seems to be a good idea.
It's an expensive purchase, so after you buy it, you can't just say, "Oh, that's right! Oh shit!I would like to make sure that there is no such thing as "I'm not sure what I want to do, but I'm sure there are many more things I can write about when I think about the detailed options.
