I love full EVs but Porsche's hybrid finally reached a stellar level. To think you can drive a full size sedan, or even better for my needs, a mid size SUV like the Cayenne, and still drink less fuel than a Civic, all the while having all the power you need when you really need it, is just amazing. No one needs power all the time unless you track a car. This is the absolute best of both worlds.

[@themza912]

I've never clicked a link so fast!!! I love that you guys are listening to your subscribers (ok ill take all the credit it's mainly me :) ) and driving more Porsches!!!!

[@prisonmike1874]

They probably take it for a test drive right when it's at the dealer for like 3-4 hours and then cut out the best parts. But it works! And I love it

[@alaskandww]

The Click and Clack of Canada that is why they are so good!

[@harrismi7]

I would not have considered the e-hybrid version of this car, but I think it makes a lot of sense. I didn't know it had so much power, especially with the V6. I would pick this over a Tesla or an S-Class. Yuri's reaction at 10:23 is priceless!

[@TheStraightPipes]

I didn't understand why the e-hybrid version existed on day 1. After that I understood it and love it - Jakub

[@_baumi_]

let's drive a P100D against this and a Rimac C_two against the 918 and it's pretty clear that hybrids a temporary

[@trihardcx6743]

Christian Baumann Hybrids are a much better long-term solution. Electric cars have good short-distance acceleration, but that's about it. No gear changes, no exhaust note. Hybrids actually feel like proper cars, but with the advantage of instant torque. I'd take the Panamera Hybrid over the P100D any day.

[@AH-bm4ts]

This Porsche has a ludicrous mode.

Full gasoline

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

I have two plugin hybrids and one full electric. For long distance driving, my plugin hybrid Volt or Cmax Energi are great. For in town stuff the Chevy Spark EV with 400lbft of torque is a barrel of laughs. Once rapid DC charging can be done in under 15 minutes and more charging networks as extensive as Teslas are deployed, full EV will be the way to go. Once you go ELECTRIC, you never go back!

[@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS]

I think an extended long range ev is necessary for today, since chargers are still practically non-existent round where I live. I love the fact that I can have an electric car and not have range anxiety.

[@PcyTrail]

I have the Executive version. Fuel economy is really bad, in sports plus it averages 18-20l/100km, and if you don't charge the battery using an outlet, Hybrid mode is around 12. The car is heavy though, 2.3 tons.

[@Krasshirsch]

"Let me wipe this for you" should become your next "KZbin Channel" :P

[@sereneturmoil]

Another great review, guys. But I have to say, I miss the reviews of "attainable" cars. The $300k GT2 RS vids are cool, but the $30k rides are cool, too. ***Also, I want a free Ecobee from Yuri and Jakob***

[@93remix]

THE 1 THING I HATE ABOUT ALL E-CARS ARE THE COLORS!! all these HYBRIDS have the worse color combos ever! it's ether this gray/cement color like on this Porsche or that weird HYPER PUKE GREEN that I saw on the Camry hybrid from '08(and don't get me started on the RIM/WHEEL package). driving a HYBRID should mean you have to drive a bland looking ride

[@matthias7569]

[@NeutralGenericUser]

I WANT A FREE ECOBEE FROM YURI AND JACOB. You guys are from Toronto, Ecobee is from Toronto, and I'm from the GTA, so it makes sense, and I've been wanting one for over a year. PLEASEEEE :( Or I guess I'm too late probably :(

[@OMGz1122]

[@ComblessMan]

Gloss primer gray? "I want a free Ecobee from Yuri and Jakub". With black interior? eh. And Jakob is right, all the gloss black would drive me crazy. As for the Honda Fits, you could buy five! One for you and the significant other and three to give as gifts. Very nice car tho' no way I could convince the Mrs.

[@AngryCheez89]

Yuri’s surprise launch face is priceless. Porsche makes the best Prius CONFIRMED.

[@MrLOLSager]

I think hybrid should have more range, they pretty much always have around 40km of electric range which is just not enough. If they had 100km of range then you wouldn’t only drive like 15% electric or hybrid. I have driven a hybrid for quite some mileage and that’s my experience of it. Kind of pointless, especially because the engine is most of the times really powerful and not really environmentally friendly

[@ubayyd]

The Panamera is by far the best 4 door car you can buy. Plus it's a damn beaut and even has a wagon version! Also, your exterior shots are to die for❤️❤️

[@fijod]

ansaree97 I just picked up one of these, the same hybrid features in this video in the same chalk colour but loaded with more options. I’m very disappointed with this car and here’s why. It’s not a small car to begin with and there are many big heavy cars on the market such as the Bentley, Mercedes S class, Bmw 7 series, full size suv like the Range Rover or G class so on and so forth. The Panamera gives the illusion(or not) that the car feels “big” and heavy while other manufacturers try to make big cars “feel” smaller. It’s difficult for the driver to “sense” the size of the car when doing parallel parking on the street or maneuvering through tight spaces inside an underground parking lot. While the car gives the impression of “big” the legroom for the rear passengers are just “okay” unless you go with the extended wheelbase version of the Panamera and trunk space is somewhat limited. The ride is supple, steering is on the heavy side and it doesn’t handle well. Its unpredictable and doesn’t give the driver a whole lot of confidence. The Porsche GT3 and GT3RS handles exceptionally well and not many manufacturers have that kind of know how but Panamera owners get non of that. Comparing with those cars are unfair so if we compare the Panamera to say Maserati, or the new Lexus LS, the later two are far superior. Even though the Panamera hybrid advertises to have 460hp, in reality it doesn’t “feel” like it has that much power. The C63 feels powerful. The GLS63 feels powerful, Range Rover supercharge feels powerful The Panamera hybrid feels it has 100hp less. In a separate post I’ll talk about how switching between 2modes (electric/gasoline) makes the car behave very differently and the way Porsche setup the car makes it difficult and unpleasant for the driver to drive the car smoothly.

[@mikelo9006]

fijod i think panamera is the luxury sedan more than sport car . If u want to feel the power , u can buy M-bmw as well as AMG, or u can pay more to get panamera Turbo (S) .Nowadays , every new expensive car has the camera 360 with full sensors and it’s quite easy to park somewhere. Just my opinion :))

[@phelansanders]

M6 Gran coupe is the best 4 door sedan in the world...

[@NovieBigSad]

Most definitely the best sedan on earth, south of hyper luxury marques such as Bentley and Rolls Royce

[@davidowen5425]

@@fijod You say you picked up one of these but do you own one? I've had my e hybrid for 12 months. Yes its a big car but i don't find it any more difficult to drive than any other large car. I have rear wheel steering so maybe that makes a difference. Yes it drives differently in electric only and sport plus and yes the regenerative brakes take a little getting used to but guess what its a hybrid GT. If you dont want a hybrid GT dont buy one. I travel to work in electric and play a little in petrol but if i want to really play i don't take the Panamera i take the 991. If i want to go off road i take our Hilux, definitely not a Range Rover, mine spent more time in the garage than on the road. As a beautifully made, luxurious, comfortable cruiser personally i don't think you can beat the Panamera and I've been fortunate enough to have owned recently an S Class and a Maserati and will again no doubt. But first a 992 then a Tycan and who knows maybe even a Tesla. Its horses for courses. Just relax and enjoy.

[@davidcoro27]

Okay, I got it. For you MB E63, for me (because I can’t afford it) MB E400 station wagon. That Panamera just does not work for me.
