Description
Porsche’s first four-door sedan, the Panamera debuted in 2009 and drew collective gasps of astonishment. Here was a manufacturer renowned for two-door sports cars dipping their toes into the luxury sedan space. Actually, Porsche had already caused a similar stir in 2002, when they debuted the Cayenne SUV. Nevertheless, when Porsche does something, they keep it true to their sporting roots. The same is true of the Panamera, as you can experience with this second-generation, 2021 Porsche Panamera 4 that’s up for sale right now. It’s basically a luxury car for the discerning owner who loves to drive themselves, but has a family that needs transporting and doesn’t want an SUV.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a Volcano Grey Metallic exterior paint, this 2021 Porsche Panamera 4 is unmistakably a Porsche product. You don’t need to see its Porsche crests to know who made it; the iconic silhouette and headlamps are calling cards in their own right. Ditto the large black wheels with red-painted brake calipers. At the rear, you’ve got PORSCHE spelt out, while a quartet of exhaust tips emanate from the lower valance of the rear bumper. Even though this is a luxury sedan, it’s definitely been designed with sporting intentions. The interior of this 2021 Porsche Panamera 4 can accommodate five occupants across plush seats upholstered in red leather. The driver and front passenger get power-adjustable and heated seats, while a dual-zone climate control system with rear air vents helps keep everyone comfortable regardless of the weather outside. The car also features Porsche’s signature five-dial instrument binnacle with centrally-mounted tachometer, and the Sport Chrono clock sitting in the center of the dashboard. You’ve also got Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a Bose speaker system. There’s a roomy trunk as well, since the trunk is actually more of a liftgate-styled aperture.
Engine
Moving this 2021 Porsche Panamera 4 in an excellent fashion is a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6. The engine reportedly makes 325hp and 332lb-ft, and is paired with Porsche’s 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic gearbox. As you’d expect, this 2021 Porsche Panamera 4 is all-wheel drive, hence the 4 in the name.
