3rd-gen Porsche Panamera launched at Rs 1.70 crore

In India, the Panamera is available with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine. Customer deliveries have now commenced.

The third-generation Porsche Panamera was listed on the brand’s official website in November 2023. The carmaker has now launched it in the Indian market, with prices starting at Rs 1.70 crore (ex-showroom). Customer deliveries have also commenced.

In India, the Panamera is available with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine that develops 343 BHP and 500 Nm. The engine is mated to an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission that sends power to the rear axle. Porsche claims a 0-100 km/h time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 270 km/h.

The new Panamera comes with a fully active suspension. However, the V6 version available in India misses out on this feature. Instead, the car is equipped with a semi-active air suspension.

The latest iteration of the Panamera features subtle styling changes, which include a new front bumper with larger vents, a reprofiled headlamp, and a reworked rear end with wraparound LED taillights connected by an LED light bar.

Inside, the new Panamera gets an optional 10.9-inch display on the passenger side in addition to a central touchscreen. The car gets a digital instrument cluster and a new 3-spoke steering wheel. The gear lever is now mounted on the steering column.
