5 reasons to buy the 2014 Porsche Panamera
1. Unique looks
While all Porsches focus on design, the Panamera is unique among Porsche models. It pulls some interior design inspiration from Porsche’s 911 model, including beautifully designed seats and a driver-centric cockpit. On the outside, the Panamera looks like nothing else on the road, ensuring you make a statement when you arrive.
2. Available plug-in hybrid
The Panamera is available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain which offers an EPA-estimated 16-miles of all-electric range. This powertrain combines a supercharged 3.0L V6 with an electric motor to produce 416 horsepower. Paired with an eight-speed automatic, this combo provides ample power for passing slow-moving traffic or getting up to highway speeds.
3. Plenty of options for colors
The Panamera is offered in 15 exterior colors. Porsche offers several deep red tones that stand out more than the typical black or silver you’d expect from a luxury sedan. On the inside, there are several single and two-tone color combinations available. These interior color choices are accented with beautiful wood, carbon fiber, or aluminum trim options.
4. Wide range of engine options
The Panamera offers several engine options to ensure you have the power you need on tap. The standard Panamera is powered by a 3.6L V6 producing 310 horsepower. Stepping up to the S trim, you access a turbocharged 3.0L V6 capable of producing 420 horsepower. If you want even more power, the robust Turbo trim offers a turbocharged 4.8L V8 that produces 520 horsepower. You have plenty of options when it comes to your Panamera’s output.
5. Expansive cargo capacity
While any full-size sedan will offer a large trunk capacity, the Panamera will surprise you with its interior flexibility. The standard Panamera offers 15.7 cu-ft of storage and its hatchback design offers additional flexibility when it comes to fitting big or odd-shaped objects. Need more space? When the seats are folded, the standard Panamera can fit 44.6 cu-ft in its massive interior space.
