How does my husband rate the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid? How does it compare to the Cayenne?
Published on: 2021.01.26
Late last year, courtesy of a blog reader.I had the opportunity to test drive the Panamera 4E Hybrid.I recently wrote a sensory impression, and my husband also wrote a review, if you would like to read it.
Porsche Panamera 4E-Hybrid
It was late December, close to the end of the year. A sapphire blue Panamera stood out in the midst of the cold rain.
I had seen a sapphire blue Panamera twice in the past, but seeing it again, it is very cool.I was very confused about this color when I bought my Panamera Turbo, but I wish I had taken the plunge and gone with this one.It's so cool that you might regret it a little.
Although it is a sports sedan, it exudes a supercar-like aura, and in a sense, it may stand out more than a supercar. When asked by the owner, it seems that many people stare at it on the street and follow it with their eyes.Is there something on the car?He says he feels uneasy.
I immediately sat in the driver's seat to check the feeling.This time the car is a Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. Almost the same system as the Cayenne E-Hybrid in our house.So I would like to focus my review on those differences.
Driving the Panamera 4E-Hybrid
Turn the ignition switch to "READYThe driver presses the accelerator pedal to make sure that the display shows "A".This area is the same as the Cayenne E-HybridIt is.
When I evaluate a car, IVery low speed feeling from the first roll of the tireThe driver of a car with a good suspension feels a firm ground contact even at very low speeds. A car with a good suspension system has a firm sense of ground contact even at very low speeds, and the high precision of the workmanship can be clearly seen in the lack of clutter in the drivetrain.
henceIt gives you the sensation that the tires begin to rotate smoothly and with a very high degree of roundness.The first is the "I" in "I".
The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is the best example of this.It starts very smoothly, especially with the thick torque produced by the electric motor from the start.I've had a Panamera Turbo, a Panamera 4S, and a Panamera GTS.This hybrid model is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of its smoothness.I think.
The Cayenne E-Hybrid also has a smooth start, but it feels lighter than the Cayenne, as if a lightness has been added to it. I think this is due to the difference in the weight of the car.Difference between PDK and TiptronicI think there are also
First of all, let's keep the "E-POWERThe car continues to run in the "Go" mode. The car easily climbs up the Ashiu slope with ease, even with three adults in the car. I did not feel that the motor was lacking in power at all. Of course, you can't experience the rush of acceleration when driving on electric power alone, but the power is more than enough for normal driving.
I went straight around the bend.The body is as light as a lie.It is hard to believe that the vehicle is almost 300 kg heavier with the battery and motor. This is a truly remarkable feeling.
Says the owner who actually owned a 970 Panamera and a 971 Panamera Turbo and drove them extensively.So, please trust me.
In an attempt to somehow find the negatives of the weight, I sharpen my nerves and pay attention to the steering feel and roll sensations whenever a curve comes, but I can't tell any difference at all.In fact, it even feels more nimble than the Panamera GTS and Turbo on winding roads.The first is the "I" in "I".

As for comments, nice to meet you.
Panamera 4S (971) is about to be inspected soon and I'm considering switching as an option.
I've been looking at other cars, driving them around, visiting them...
As companies refrain from developing internal combustion engines in advance of HVs and AVs, a change in flavor with electronic control is not far off...
I'm leaning towards not extending my purchasing power, and riding it through the inspection process.
The sales person in charge of PC is supposed to strongly recommend the hybrid and offer various conditions.
Three generations of Panameras? I wish I could be more creative, but the Panamera for everyday use is pretty hard to get rid of.
This article was very helpful at that time!
I'm ready to give the hybrid a test drive.
Please tell your husband that I will be very happy to help him.

Thank you!

Panamera 4S, looks too good to be true, I don't think I'll be motivated to buy another car... ^^..;
I am sure it will be smooth, powerful, balanced and wonderful.
Hybrid, please try it ^^.
It is very easy to use, and the frequency of filling up with gasoline in daily use has also decreased considerably.

Thank you! We will let you know!
Dear MINA, Sir.
It has been a while.
I am a dealer sales person from Kanto who met your husband early last year at the Ashi Ari observatory. (At the time, I was driving a Golf 7.5 and was allowed to ride beside him in a 911 GT3 Touring.)
I know it's too late now, but congratulations on the birth of your third child!
We, too, have a second child and are struggling daily to raise our child.
I've been looking forward to seeing what kind of car you've chosen for us!
Cayenne is the perfect choice for your family right now!
I was wondering if I could offer you a car, but I decided not to because the distance is not easy to reach.
I just wanted to comment for the first time in a while to give you some guidance on the V6 2.9L engine and the V6 3 liter engine mentioned in the article!
In fact, it is an engine jointly developed by Porsche and Audi (sorry if you know this), and both engines are called EA839 series engines.
The V6, 2.9L twin turbo engine is installed in the Audi RS4 Avant, S6, S7, etc. and delivers 450PS600Nm. The twin turbochargers in the V-bank are very responsive, and the short stroke makes it a fun engine to drive.
It's also an environmentally friendly engine that warms up quickly!
I am very interested in the combination of that engine and the hybrid since it is also used in the Panamera E Hybrid.
The V6,3L single turbocharged engine is used in the Audi S4, S5, SQ5, A6.A8 and other models in a wide variety of applications, and can be used for everything from city driving to cruising to the track.
I don't have as in-depth a knowledge of the subject as your husband.
I would be happy to talk to you at length when you are settled and free to move around (laughs).
Always looking forward to your exciting posts!
Hope to see you again!

Thank you very much!
And thank you for your comments.
>We, too, have a second child and are struggling daily to raise our child.
Oh congratulations!
When you have one more child, childcare becomes many times busier ^^;
And thank you for telling us about the engine!
My husband mentioned it here and there, but I didn't really listen to it (sorry lol).
Now I understand it better!
Every day, there's so much I don't know.
I am learning a lot, and I realize that cars are very deep.
Please come back to Ashiyu when you get settled, even if it is far away.
Thank you for your continued support!
Mr. Mina and Master
I always look forward to your blog updates. Thank you for the valuable information.
I have been an owner of the Panamera 4 e-Hybrid 2020 model since last summer, so I am honestly happy to hear such praise for the same car model as myself. Thank you very much!
After test driving the Taikan (although I don't think it is in its full potential since I only drive it around town), I was reminded of the value of the Panamera Hybrid and think it is the best choice in the transitional period to a full EV. As you pointed out, the V6 2.9L twin turbo produces a wonderful tone even with the normal exhaust, and unlike Japanese hybrids that focus on eco-friendliness, the way it asserts itself when the engine starts is a perfect combination of an EV and a gasoline engine.
According to the PC sales staff, the Panamera is a minor player in Japan with the lowest volume, but I'm thinking how nice it would be if Japanese people could look at this car without preconceived notions. By the way, sapphire blue is nice! I envy you because I am an orthodox Carrara White.
Mr. SevenWinds.
Thank you for visiting my blog!
We are also very happy to hear that you found our blog helpful in your Panamera purchase.
Thank you!
The Panamera in Carrara White is...
It's so beautiful, like a royal road.
Yesterday, at a gas station, I saw a Carrara White Panamera being washed.
It was really beautiful.
Hybrid and Panamera are a crazy good match.
For such a big and heavy car, it was totally stress-free and pleasant.
Once again, I was amazed.
I hope we can continue to disseminate information at our own pace!
Thank you for your cooperation.
