2024 Porsche Panamera Spied Testing, Global Debut by End of 2023

The 2024 Porsche Panamera was recently photographed at the Nürburgring. Spotted without camouflage, the revised sports sedan is now close to its global debut that is expected to take place near the end of 2023, and it is on the German circuit probably for final tweaking. The Zuffenhausen brand has given only a subtle mid-cycle refresh to its Panamera. The 2024 model year Panamera appears to be a performance derivative (maybe a Turbo) with large front air intakes, brawny brakes, and an extendable spoiler at the rear. While the refreshed model looks virtually undisguised, there is a bit of camouflage with tape around its headlights, similar to the ones available with the current model. The new HD matrix LED headlight technology, which is expected to be introduced in new production models in 2023, could be offered with the updated Panamera model as well.

The German sports car manufacturer claims that the new HD matrix setup will set new benchmarks in glare-free high-beam lighting performance, quite a departure from the one used by existing Porsche models. The new Porsche models are said to use two separate light sources to perform the low- and high-beam functions.

Coming back to the new Porsche Panamera, it seems to have slim taillights, that is probably because of the black tape covering up some changes. Along with the extendable spoiler, there is a set of four tailpipes residing out back. The new vehicle sits low to the ground and has a fake design sticker masking the front fender vents. And if we see broadly, the 2024 Panamera will have the same dimensions as before. 

2024 Porsche Panamera: Interior & Features

It is also believed that the interior of the upcoming Panamera will receive a significant upgrade, including dashboard layout, features, and connected car technology, however, details have been kept under wraps. If a previous set of spy images are anything to go by, then the 2024 Panamera will most probably feature a 12.3-inch infotainment system, a 12.6-inch driver's display, and an optional 10.9-inch passenger display. The same upgrades have been adopted by the latest Porsche Cayenne SUV. Moreover, a more advanced Porsche Communication Management system with 5G data compatibility is also likely on the cards. 

2024 Porsche Panamera: Engine

Under the hood, the 2024 Porsche Panamera will receive the updated versions of twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 and 4.0-litre V8 petrol engines, paired with 48V mild-hybrid technology. Along with revised powertrains, the new Panamera will adopt reworked exhaust systems and software to meet Euro 7 emission standards. Similar to the new generation Cayenne SUV, the Panamera could also use a revised plug-in hybrid powertrain.

The upcoming Porsche Panamera will presumably be a bit dearer than the current model, which ranges between Rs 1.44 crore and Rs 2.43 crore (ex-showroom). But, this will be revealed shortly after the grand premiere. When launched, the new Panamera will take on the likes of the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz CLS.  

In recent news, Porsche unveiled the latest iteration of its logo in celebration of its 75th anniversary. The new logo sports a few changes (including a new crest) over the outgoing logo, but remains true to its original design. According to the automobile manufacturer, all its new production models will feature an updated crest, with the 2024 Porsche Panamera likely to be the first car to wear it.
