Hello everyone. This is Mina, the administrator of "A Porsche Came to My Home". I would like to share the real voices of various Porsche owners with you! We would like to share the real voices of various Porsche owners with you. Today, I would like to share with youContinued from last timeWe are pleased to send you this test drive and daily use review article of the Panamera 4E Hybrid received from Mr. Pol Pol Pol 4E, a resident of Tokyo, Japan.

(1) Driving performance

Do you feel the weight of the battery?

"Does having the battery on board make you feel heavier at the start or when accelerating?"However, I feel that the electric driving (E-Power) in the city is sufficient for the performance.If you want to enjoy the feeling of acceleration, use "Sport" or "Sport Plus" mode.or toKick down and run with engine runningI think it is a good idea to do so.

As to whether the weight of the battery is a handicap to acceleration when the car is in "Sport" or "Sport Plus" mode, I can't say, since I haven't been able to test drive enough to get a firm grasp of the differences between the 4S and 4E Hybrid. However, I believe that the Panamera Turbo is the only sports saloon car that offers acceleration better than the 4E Hybrid.

Are the engine and motor (electric) working smoothly together?

The 4E Hybrid starts the engine when the driver accelerates the Hybrid Auto motor, or when the driver accelerates hard while driving with E-Power, but the 4E Hybrid's engine is not activated when the driver accelerates the Hybrid Auto motor.First comes the power of the motor, "GGG! and then engine power comes in two phases. comes in two phasesIt is like that.

However, I understand that the E-Power mode is only intended for environmentally friendly and quiet driving with the power of the motor, soHybrid-Auto is a mode in which the program automatically determines the most efficient power distribution.I am driving with the understanding that I am not the only one who can do this.

When I drove the Panamera 4E Hybrid, I thought that rather than from the viewpoint of "how the engine and motor work together," the motor plays a supplementary role when the car is running in "Sport" mode and you want to turn on even higher power. I think that is the car's identity.

(2) Use of different driving modes and engine noise

Which mode to drive in town and on the highway, respectively.

In town, I often drive in Hybrid-Auto or E-Power mode. When I go to Roppongi area for business, I often use E-Power mode because there are many parking lots where I can charge my car.
However.If E-Power mode is used a lot, switching to Hybrid-Auto mode will not start the engine directly, but will run on the motor.It seems that the system decides that E-Power is sufficient for this level of driving conditions and automatically selects it.

On the highway it is mainly Hybrid-Auto. At the time of deliveryPlease drive on a "normal" basis until the mileage is about 3,000 km, and do not pull the engine up to 4,000 rpm.So, the full-scale driving in Sport and Sport Plus modes is just beginning. Therefore, I have not yet had a full taste of the "can I enjoy sporty driving like a Porsche even in hybrid mode?" I hope to report on this when I have a chance.

How does the engine sound in a hybrid vehicle?

While driving in E-Power, the engine starts as soon as E-Charge mode is selected for charging or the accelerator pedal is depressed.The sound of "ba-boom, ba-boom!" at that time is irresistible! sound is irresistible (laugh).A motor journalist once wrote in one of his articles that "just by pressing down a little harder on the accelerator pedal, the dependable exhaust sound conveyed the sensation of a thickening bundle of torque," and that is exactly what happened.

I have driven several times in Sport mode, and the moment I switch modes, I can feel the engine roar wildly and change its shape with my whole body. I have never experienced such a feeling in my car life except for the Panamera.

(3) Ride comfort

How comfortable is the ride?

The air suspension is rated as an advantage of the new Panamera 4E Hybrid, and it is exactly right. I have driven the car for about six months after delivery and have never felt any fluffiness. Also, theSmooth ride with no stiffness at low speeds, but exquisite stiffness and suppleness coexist at high speeds.You can taste the

In fact, in purchasing this car, I test drove a car other than a Porsche. The exterior, interior, and chassis of those cars were all top of the line, but the difference between them and the Porsche was obvious. I can't really describe the difference.Porsche's ride is "snug and assimilating."And is it an image?

How spacious is the interior of the car?

As for the size of the car, I am about 178cm tall, but the person sitting in the seat behind the driver's seat(Adult 170cm)isPlenty of leg room.He said. It is indeed a luxury sport grand touring hybrid.

(4) Fuel consumption

What is the total fuel consumption after delivery?

Various motor magazines have mentioned fuel economy as a feature of the Panamera 4E Hybrid, and I have combined the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) values with the Porsche Model Range (2018 Ver. 3) myself to create the following table.

During driving, the display range of the cumulative average on the meter panel is "4.0-99.0 km/l", while the cumulative average when driving only with E-Power is always "99.0 km/l". Incidentally, the fuel consumption display on the meter isTotal "10.8km/l", which is exactly the same as the figure of the Porsche Model Range (when driving in Hybrid-Auto mode).It was.

The cumulative average on the meter panel during "E-charge" driving always shows 4.0km/L, but since I often go out to Roppongi or Azabu area for business and am in an environment where I can charge the battery frequently, I think I am getting a total of 10.8km/l.

It is difficult to calculate the fuel consumption assuming that I did not use the charging spot at all after delivery, but based on my impression, it is probably around 9km/L... This value may be because I live in an urban area.

Fuel consumption during frequent highway driving

When I go on a trip with Hybrid-Auto with a mileage of about 300-400 km (highway:open road = 9:1 ratio), the cumulative average is usually about 13-14 km/L.So if you ask, "Is the Panamera 4E Hybrid eco-friendly?" I would say that it is not.However, considering this fuel economy for such a heavy and powerful car, it is probably not bad.
Also, our condominium is a multi-story parking garage, so we do not have E-mobility installed, but if we had a "charging pedestal" in our detached home parking garage and drove around town in "E-Power" mode with the battery always fully charged, we would be able to call it "eco".
