Porsche Panamera 4 is first 4-door luxury sedan Porsche offers. By using direct injection, fully variable cam timing and dry-sump lubrication — the same ingredients as the big V8, Porsche has downsized its motor for the all-wheel drive Panamera 4.
Obviously, Porsche gains some certain benefits from using V6 in this model. The first one is the seven-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox, which helps to keep the engine in its sweet spot for longer, and users can also manually change gears via the paddles on the steering wheel. Secondly, the breakthrough srely contributes to shed a lot of weight. Compared with the 1,995kg of the heavyweight Panamera Turbo, the Panamera 4 tips the scales at just 1,822kg. It's a featherweight by comparison and as a result, it feels as nimble as one. Finally, with a stop-start system which helps to bring fuel consumption down to a very agreeable 9 litres-per-100km, the Panamera 4 won't burn a hole in your pocket. None of the various Panamera models qualifies for a gas-guzzler tax (even the 15 city/23 hwy mpg Turbo), which is great. But the V6 only uses 18/27 mpg (city/hwy), while all-wheel drive cuts the highway figure back to 26 mpg. Those headline figures also come courtesy of a start/stop system that shuts off the engine when it’s stopped and re-fires when you take your foot off the brake.
Interior features of the Porsche Panamera 4 make this sporty and fast model a favorite among sports car enthusiasts. The features include: textured leather interior trim, 8-way pwr heated front bucket seats, rear split-folding bucket seats, brushed aluminum door entry guards, 3-spoke multi-function tilt/telescopic leather steering wheel, Instrument cluster that includes 4.8″ color display, gear indicator, service interval indicator, ambient temp display, warning indicators, electronic oil level measurement with map compensation, cruise control, anti-theft system, alarm system, and automatic climate control.
