The four-door Porsche was already worldwide accepted even by the Porsche fans who blamed the German car-maker for the cars that saved the brand: the Cayenne and the Panamera.
The second generation of the Panamera showed up in 2016 and its design fixed all the problems of the first generation. The nice look of a four-door coupe, combined with the exterior details of the vehicle, made it up for those who waited and trusted the Porsche brand. It looked like a stretched 911 model, but with the engine in the front. The 4-LED headlights fitted as standard were one of the key design elements that made the car attractive. The Panamera 4S featured 19” light-alloy wheels and only two colors as standard: black and white as standard. Strangely, the rear windscreen wiper was fitted as an option and so was the reversing camera.
The infotainment system can be paired with either a Bose or a Burmeister premium sound system for a better audio quality offered as an option. The system can be paired with a smartphone via a Porsche dedicated app. The Android Auto was not available. The standard, 14-way adjustable seats could have been upgraded to an 18-way pair of seats.
The Panamera Turbo was the best balance between performance, luxury, and comfort. The new, 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine offered 30 hp more than its predecessor, despite having a smaller displacement. The PASM (Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management) was fitted as an option and so was the Porsche Chrono Package. It was fitted as standard with a 7-speed (PDK – dual-clutch) automatic transmission which sent its torque in all corners via PTM (Porsche Traction Management) system.
