As the third-generation model makes its debut in India, the German automaker has announced that deliveries of the all-new Porsche Panamera have started on May 4. Porsche had announced at the global launch of the 2018 Panamera that reservations would open soon. The new Panamera for India, which costs Rs 1.7 crore, will only be offered with the V6 engine, as we had previously reported.
A 2.9-liter turbocharged V6 petrol engine producing 353 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque powers the Porsche Panamera V6. An 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission transfers power to the back wheels. Porsche claims a peak speed of 272 mph and a 5.1-second 0–100 mph time. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), as Porsche refers to its adaptive air suspension system, is now standard on the Panamera.
A front passenger display with a 10.9-inch screen is an additional, but the price tag of Rs 1.7 crore is obviously ex-showroom, India, and does not include all choices and accessories. The Panamera does, however, come equipped with a number of standard features, such as eight-way adjustable electric seats, six airbags, a full-HD 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, parking assistance, matrix LED headlights, and an onboard driving mode selection.
The Panamera has no direct competitors in the nation in V6 form. Porsche’s Panamera V8s, on the other hand, will go up against the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4-door Coupe, which costs Rs 3.3 crore. The Panamera hybrid models, however, won’t be imported into the nation.
