[@stoicacatalin2027]

Awesome review as always, really great point made about fabric seats, the fact that probably no one else in this price range offers this option with this level of comfort along with heating+cooling(even for rear seats) so thanks a lot for pointing that out, this alone makes me put this car at the top of my wishlist. Cheers Thomas!

cheers m8 ! please recommend us :)

[@highway-hats]

Great review Thomas & Lea. Thanks so much & love your style & presentation. This model is wonderful as you would expect - a little concerned about care on the central console. - think they need to dull it down a bit - maybe leather. Great colour - I think I prefer darker - just a personal choice. Bless & look forward to the next one. Badger U.K.

[@autogefuehl]

cheers m8 !

[@mrichards913]

Very professional presentation, thank you. Nice to see Leah too. My current car is a BMW 8 series V8 grand coupe. I did test drive the Panamera and yes, it’s high quality but more expensive unless you spend £,0000’s more. Best regards

Piano lack sucks big time.

Lack 🎉

[@xzst]

Its a new car and you could see its already scratched... Just awful and you cant even spec anything else.

[@robertcook2572]

I know, I always like to have a piano available

[@OceanpacifiqueAurore]

I have to disagree with you about the fluidity of Chinese tech companies OS. Huawei's Harmony OS, Xiaomi's Hyper OS or Honor's magic ui are both very smooth to use. You must be living under a rock to say stuff like that, we are not in the 90's anymore ​@@n1ngnuo

[@str8up574]

Duly noted Mr. Honda crv...😎

[@jasondickens9003]

Front end on that Panamera looks good. The hybrid option is awesome and should sell well. Love the layout of instrumentation and screens that fit the contour of the dash. I love how Porsche is keeping the cockpit of these cars personal and bustling with flavor. Too many manufacturers have produced minimalistic interiors where everything is done through a touch screen and thus creates an impersonal connection to the driver. Driving a vehicle and trying to touch the touch screen while in motion is difficult and dangerous. I’m sure those manufacturers did not have people driving and touching the touch screen during the research, otherwise they would have realized that this is a bad idea to implement everything through a touchscreen. Porsche has done a nice job of blending basic functionality with latest tech.

[@Cloxxki]

There a lot to like about PHEV, I think. The downside is that you still need a plug, and more often, than with a BEV, if you want to get as much all-electric driving as possible around the city of B roads.

[@nsglcck]

Shame that Porsche pulled the plug out of the Panamera Sport Turismo, imho it was the nicest looking Panamera.

[@H2SO4H20]

I now wish that I had gone ahead and ordered an ST when I got an allocation in 2022. The only reason I didn't was that the power/memory steering wheel column had become unavailable. I instead bought a Cayenne just to get the power steering wheel column but the Panamera would have been much more enjoyable to drive and much easier to enter for my short wife. I doubt that I would buy a non-ST Panamera due to the high lift-over into the cargo area and I vastly preferred the look of the ST.

[@harmony3138]

Nice. Leah is lovely. With her lavender, another flower for her 🥀 Would be nice to see your review on base Macan electric announced a couple of days ago. When are you getting your hands on that?

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers! Not sure yet we ll keep u updated!

[@People-Business-And-Ideas]

This is the first Panamera, I would consider buying over a new 911.

[@kalan91]

Pretty sure, a lot of clients would pay extra a lot of money for lack of piano black option. It's crazy they don't offer such an option.

[@aaronh.7672]

Just for fun I built a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid for a grand total of $286,565. Has almost every option you could think of, $58,070 in options. That's just crazy!

[@autogefuehl]

insane

[@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj]

Great video! Im curious what car Thomas has himself? You consider so many factors and thus I’m curious what car you thought was worth dailying?

[@autogefuehl]

thanks! we ll make an episode on that very soon :)

[@dal2258]

Nice video Thomas and Lea! Yes this is technological overkill imo.

[@autogefuehl]

cheers m8 !

[@dafae.]

Thanks for the in-depth review! Love Porsche but not a fan of their newer interiors. For their recent price increases, they should look more premium.

[@autogefuehl]

Highly appreciated! Please recommend our channel 😎

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

You can spec a more premium interior if you want.

[@dafae.]

@@Nickbaldeagle02 I get that - but if I'm paying around $110,000 for the standard Panamera, it's not asking too much for the baseline interior to feel a little more expensive.

[@PratabAli]

Update: My Autogefuehl t-shirt is here. It's wonderful. ❤ The one with the "4k full screen, full length" Size M. The sizing chart had me a little worried that it might be too baggy for me. (I'm small 5'4"), but it fits well with room to breathe.

[@autogefuehl]

Awesome 😎 enjoy my friend! 🙌🙌

[@brunomadeira8432]

The previous Panamera looked better and more elegant. The oversized headlights in particular. I know they say it's an all new model but it seems like a face lift that cut the previous model harmony.

[@Awaks]

I also purely despise the silly gear lever position. It's dumb. Keep you silly EV antics to your EVs. Mercedes for example didn't just randomly move their start button to the centre console because they do that on their EVs. I don't even understand the logic behind moving it there. It's stupid. In avoiding to go the Mercedes gear stalk route out of pettiness, they're only now 2nd to the Cybertruck position wise. Appalling.

[@MichelHenriTonneau]

Yes I agree the piano kind for the lower part does provide more pain than pleasure. Plus you need to clean it regularly. Wonder why not having it as the canopy or the seat material which would maintain some continuity in the inside design. Aside this basic comment, what a car. Thank you again for your video.

[@autogefuehl]

Highly appreciated! Please recommend our channel 😎

[@walkure6049]

always comprehensive stuff, good video👍👍

[@autogefuehl]

Highly appreciated! Please recommend our channel 😎

[@MaxxKoggen]

The racetex pattern is a little grandpa-esque but I'd still pick them over every other material... if there are no other colour options.

[@Digiphex]

I wish the design looked like the Taycan more. Or if they put a normal engine inside the Taycan I would buy it.

[@samjanko8946]

Aplauding to physical buttons, pepita cloth and integrated screens and cursing the piano black BS😂

[@autogefuehl]

thats right!

[@mikegrappone9078]

Excellent video! Vielen Dank

[@autogefuehl]

🙌🙌

[@gorjantodorovski4803]

Can you share your thoughts on the topic of ride comfort provided by the Active Ride option? My understanding is that it should handle bumps/broken tarmac very well (the wheels would follow the bump/hole, while the cabin stays flat - they call it sky hook). Also the system should reduce head-toss significantly. So maybe this option would be good for our not so perfect riads (as they are in Germany)?

[@kholwanimabaso2710]

😂😂😂 I was waiting for the Lea-meter as well ❤

[@profahrer5160]

Real deal.. cool Video 🤙⭐️

[@FilipBzik]

Question, not sure if you had really "Active Control" ON as you were in hybrid mode, not in "Normal" mode. Or I am missing something?

[@YankeeMav]

wow I was not expecting that sunroof to actually open...ie actually be a sunroof. good job Porsche.

[@lm0026]

😅 i love it when u go to small details like how the window switch feels, makes me appreciate porsche quality more

[@autogefuehl]

way to go !

[@Awaks]

The plastic switches? Plastic switches are fine at this price now? Any decent car with a 2 step window switch sounds just like that....th does that have to do with "Porsche quality" ?? You can tell it's also pretty thin as well, cuz the thicc and thinner switches have unique sounds to them. Ridiculous glazing.

[@davidbattaglia2336]

@17:38 Best sentiments ever!

[@autogefuehl]

=)

[@doublehh666]

The new suspension system will definitely eat up tires quicker. I’m sure it will improve the comfort of bumpy rides also. No free lunch…

[@Sinecure11]

Lia meter was an option that had not been selected when configuring this Panamera

[@panameradan6860]

I like seeing the night view of the cockpit (8:50); please show this on all car reviews! Regarding the passenger screen, I wish they'd let the driver see the passenger screen; it's rather absurd that they think the driver is fine looking at the center infotainment screen but not at the passenger screen. The driver, after all, looks frequently at his/her right-side exterior mirror, sometimes for several seconds if there's something that needs attention on the car's rear side.

[@autogefuehl]

hm but for what reason does the driver need to check the passenger display?

[@mihaicostescu]

Stunning car...Stunning presenters 💥💥💥👌

[@autogefuehl]

🙌🙌

[@Tom_Mroz]

Curious about ride quality on an uneven surfaces, like within the city. Does it feel superbly comfortable or only slightly better than a car without that system?

[@cayboy420]

Thomas your disappointment the panamera acceleration didn’t make Leah squeal like the new 911 did was hilarious. New acceleration benchmark is required regarding this!

[@autogefuehl]

hehe =)

[@Darx97]

Love those seats

[@dj1nnie]

"Lea meter" didn't waste her energy because of the weight of this tank 😅. BTW @autogefuehl you forgot to mention the total weight of this tank?

[@shakesnbake]

I thought we were going to get a Leah presenting special edittion at the start Is it cheaper for car companies to offer standard leather interiors. The Pepita interior option is £1242!!!

[@Matthersch77]

Good review, thanks. But what is going on with these crazy prices… it wasn’t that long ago things were a bit more sensible.. I wish car companies wouldn’t just take their customers for granted… I’ll wait until it drops by 50% in a year… :)

[@autogefuehl]

thanks! ya indeed

[@bookofmillions]

#love it ❤ #best #reviewer Thank you, Thomas!

[@siviter]

I thought it was a Renault Fluence from the thumbnail.

[@LordDemeroth]

Thomas what is your opinion about lack of automatic driving features in Panamera? BMW 5 and Mercedes E ( maybe this is not a direct competition) does have something like automatic line change and furthermore - BMW is testing fully auto driving features in Germany. Does the Porshe looses the competition with other brands or they just want to stick with driver's oriented car ?

[@autogefuehl]

yeah indeed they rather have the self-driving focus

[@oprd13]

Front looks really good. Is this sport design package? Great front lights. However it’s way way too expensive. For 911 it’s acceptable but not panamera. Especially the options. ACC costs like 100% more compared to Mercedes AMG GT 4door. Please show us next time how the assistance systems works in newer Porsches

[@utube521]

7:15 so in this car your leg stiff just after about an hour drive like in the mercedes? or how far down can you put the front if the seat? will it be parallel to the floor?

[@bokeerfamily-ox3yb]

Please show us the sound system like before Mr Thomas 🎉

[@PaulLampert-y4d]

Thomas you have driven the base RWD, the 4, the e-4, and the e-4S. Is the feel of the base just fine or if personally affordable is it worth the extra cost to consider a lease or purchase of the e-hybrid 6 cylinder models? The 8 cylinder models are too expensive. What is your recommendation of the best and wisest of the V6 models?

[@autogefuehl]

Base fine. Go pure

[@PaulLampert-y4d]

@@autogefuehl Thanks Thomas! I have a 2021 base 4 cylinder Cayman that is plenty of fun and fuel efficient. Base rules!

one of my favourite porshe from ever since but with there was a grandturismo update of it as well. Anyone who knows why Porshe cancelled updating the Porshe Grand Turismo?

[@robertcook2572]

[@veni-sedi-vidi]

Good color choice. The quick rise is probably for the old folks.

[@LG-th8xt]

buy 1 pay 3 . Why doesn't the engine lift up when you open the hood for that price? Then at least some music plays when you lock the car or something so important for driving characteristics

[@muhammeducar2718]

I love sedans!

[@elroz1675]

so base 911 Carrera starting price is higher than base Panamera, and base Panamera is higher than base Cayenne. It gets less expensive as the car gets bigger and vice versa.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Great video 👍👍👍

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers 🙏

[@clubsobri]

Fake electic shifting is dumb. But companies are doing whatever they can just to make the convertion from combustion to elelctric/hybrid more appealing to the masses. But it doesn't really make sense. Beautiful car, though. I love the Panamera. I have an A7, which is a direct competitor (a bit cheaoer for sure), so I like bigger sporty luxury cars.

[@autogefuehl]

As I explained, it is no fake electric shifting here. The electric motor is behind the gearbox, so the vehicle has to shift in no matter mode it is in.

[@freshjuice9801]

I think I'm going to order one. You should call Porsche and ask for a commission.

Great review and it's a lovely car but why doesn't Porsche also offer a 100% animal free electric Macan ? ... it's really annoying they don't !!.

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers! Ya indeed it is weird, to me it seems that in Northern America, the Macan is always with animal skin, in Germany and UK for example you can get leatherette seats as base and then have to opt for Racetex steering wheel. Why do they make it that complicated and not even an offer for NA market... Panamera even offers next to the shown fabric seats to go base leatherette seats and get the Racetex steering wheel as single option. Then the leatherette seats on the Panamera are not available in UK and Germany - great logic =)

[@jonasmagnusson2099]

Wow! My new dream, perfect!👏🙏🇸🇪👍
