Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 7th of 30 in Top speed (264 km/h). 7th of 30 in Top speed (264 km/h).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 9,8 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Porsche Panamera Turbo (1st with 3.6 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Porsche Panamera Turbo (1st with 308 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 5.3 s 0-100 (26th of 30 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the Panamera ranks 26th of 30 in 0–100 km/h, 1.7 s off the reference Porsche Panamera Turbo (3.6 s).

Top speed: 264 km/h (7th of 30 in Top speed)

Top speed of 264 km/h. The segment reference reaches 308 km/h.

Porsche Panamera: 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 rank in its segment?

Among the 30 limousines 2016–2020, the Panamera ranks 26th of 30 in 0–100 km/h (5.3 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo), 7th of 30 in Top speed (264 km/h, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo), 20th of 30 in Power-to-weight (185 hp/t, behind the BMW M850i xDrive).

How much does the Panamera 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 instead?

The Porsche Panamera Turbo leads in 0–100 km/h (3.6 s vs 5.3 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Panamera vs Porsche Panamera Turbo 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.
