Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 4th of 10 in 0–100 km/h (4.6 s). 2nd of 10 in Electric WLTP range (50 km), 4th of 10 in 0–100 km/h (4.6 s).

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (1st with 50 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the BMW 745Le (1st with 809 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 50 km pure electric (top 2 in segment)

With a full battery, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid drives in pure electric mode for the first 50 km WLTP - placing it 2nd of 10 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (50 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid rank in its segment?

Among the 10 limousines plug-in hybrid 2016–2020, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid ranks 2nd of 10 in Electric WLTP range (50 km, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo), 7th of 10 in Combined range (281 km, behind the BMW 745Le), 6th of 10 in Thermal cons. estimated (9.2 L/100, behind the BMW 745Le), 4th of 10 in 0–100 km/h (4.6 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo).

What is the électrique range of the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid?

50 km WLTP announced - making it the 2nd of 10 in Electric WLTP range out of 10 models. The reference is the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (50 km).

How much does the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo instead?

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo leads in Electric WLTP range (50 km vs 50 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
