This vehicle will start on electric mode by default and switch to hybrid mode once the charging goes down to a certain level. It offers different modes including the E-Hold mode which preserves the current state of the battery. In E-Charge mode, the combustion engine charges the battery up to 80 percent out of town.

In Sport and Sport Plus modes, the vehicle reduces the target state of the charge of the battery to 20 and 30 percent respectively, and increases efficiency compared to the previous 30 and 80 percent.

The Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid are now available to order and the deliveries in Europe will start in the second quarter of 2024.
