New Porsche Panamera 4 E Hybrid Full Review: Are 60 Electric Miles Enough?

Vicki Butler-Henderson reviews the new Porsche Panamera 4 E Hybrid to see how Porsche’s latest plug-in hybrid fits into the brand’s line-up and whether it really works as a luxury long-distance GT. This third-generation Panamera blends a twin-turbo V6 with electric power, offering up to 60 miles of electric driving alongside traditional Porsche performance. Vicki explores how the hybrid system works in everyday use, the different driving modes, and what it’s like to live with a plug-in Panamera rather than a full electric or petrol alternative. On the road, she assesses ride comfort, refinement and performance, with a particular focus on Porsche’s optional active ride suspension and how it copes with poor road surfaces as well as high-speed cruising. There’s also a look at practicality, rear seat comfort, and how much the Panamera changes once the options list starts adding up. This Panamera runs on Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyres, developed in collaboration with Porsche and approved for the model, designed to deliver confident handling, stability and everyday usability in both wet and dry conditions. So does the Panamera 4 E Hybrid strike the right balance between electric efficiency, luxury and Porsche performance, and do the electric miles really make sense in the real world?
