It’s hard to argue against the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. The Porsche is fast, frugal and remarkably refined. Porsche actually impresses with this groundbreaking plug-in hybrid, delivering great performance with low emissions. The E-Hybrid has been designed to offer the sort of performance you’d expect from a conventional V8 petrol. It pairs a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine with a 94bhp electric motor and a new 9.4kW lithium-ion battery. This combination produces a total of 410HP, helping the Panamera do 0-100 km/hr in 5.3 seconds with both its power sources working in unison. The Porsche Panamera is a technological tour de force. It can be a true luxury cruiser. Indeed if the suspension is set to its softest mode, you are letting Hybrid Auto handle the powertrain chores and the PDK is set as an automatic, then the 4 E-Hybrid feels effortless
