The Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is the stylish estate version of the standard Panamera with an electric motor assisting V6 (in the 4 Hybrid) or V8 (in the Turbo S) petrol engines. Buyers considering such a luxurious, fast, hybrid may also be looking at fully electric models such as the Tesla Model S and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as the E-Hybrid version of the Porsche Cayenne, and conventional high-performance estates like the Mercedes-AMG E 63 Estate. Batch takes the Turbo S version to the Carbuyer test track to judge how much of a 'green' car the Panamera E-Hybrid Sport Turismo really is, and whether it's worthy of the Porsche name.

I always match my trousers to the colour of my car.

[@Rodisflawless]

I do it the other way around.

[@DexxonGamer77]

@@Rodisflawless HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@berniesutton7277]

More a case of the car matching his trousers. He regularly was these trousers for many of his other reviews

[@long_view]

What a great video - James's laughter at the sheer joy of power is infectious!

[@d4v3y01]

Those front brakes look massive

[@cenewton3221]

No doubt! Noticed the same thing - they're like, an entire half of the rotor!

[@SuperMacmac74]

Brakes and the pants, two very noticeable things in this video

[@oskar8968]

It's because on that car that he had the brakes are carbon ceramics. It's the reason why they're that ugly yellow color

[@AaronRandolphChen]

What was most enjoyable about this video was seeing just how intoxicating the car was - maybe I should be asking how much fun you had "off-camera" as I'm pretty sure you toned it down for public consumption. LMAO!! The fun you were having is as good a testament any car is ever going to have. Great video! Now you've made me lust for Sport Turismo Turbo Hybrid as well!!!

[@joaofarinha7953]

It's not cheap (far from it) but what a car! it's beautiful even on that colour.

[@tommymician121]

Best review you’ve done on carbuyer

[@robbo1911]

Pretty sure Porsche want this known as the Turbo S E-Hybrid

[@davidbest1]

I just wondered how long my KZbin name could get and it turns out it is quite long. Very long exactly, the normal E-Hybrid has a V6 and is a lot less powerful

[@michaelkahil676]

its the Porsche Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid Sport Turismo

[@davidbest1]

Michael Kahil well no it’s actually a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo

[@robbo1911]

Yes, I knew that

[@michaelkahil676]

@@davidbest1 its easy to remember

[@Shaxzara]

That color is to die for ♥️

[@lesleydavies2988]

WOW my new dream car and I love the colour 👌👍

[@longtailgt]

Absolutely stunning car! I want one badly! P.S. whats the background music at the end?? It's awesome!

[@PlanetautoUK]

Now this really looks the part, especially those coloured accents.

[@Dan-up6do]

Agreed the Sport Turismo is so much better looking than the standard Panamera, i even love the colour.

[@LiamE69]

Hundred and fifty grand car with a 3kw charger.

[@viximano]

Broadening my vocabulary on his videos :) :D

[@Saabinseptime]

On my dream list with the Jag' XJ

[@user-or1ln6gv2s]

That is probably one of the nicest interiors I have ever seen, smart, classy and full of quality.

[@paddydowney6269]

1:40 the SIZE of those front calipers! 😳

[@swanblake]

Fingerprints. Everywhere. For £158k. OCD kicking in

[@mickyeverton]

Join the club!! 🙈

[@tyquddus5664]

Solid review. Can feel your passion for this car!

[@citroNord]

Think it's more "ego-friendly" than "eco"! LOL

[@klasseact6663]

Love that color, I'd have an anthrasite colored set of wheels for it, something concave from HRE!

[@burningdinosaurs801]

Have a great dayGreat Video!

[@philasturian8477]

The design is soo brutal

[@kisilvan]

Your reviews keep getting better and better 😁🤘

[@jamiep61]

I particularly like the Red Paint Colour

[@christophedepamelaere3433]

The ‘simple’ V6 is really sufficient for daily use: consumption 6,5 liters/100 km

[@zahirmulla6715]

Good reviewer

[@punchthedog]

You can get the Sport Turismo with two individual rear seats and a center console.

[@edwill1595]

Awesome car!

[@awabyusuf2579]

I was going to go for a Mazda 3 but I guess I'll go for this instead.

[@auchen888dolly8]

[@karanjaura4172]

I’m pretty sure he’s mentioned the car having two different amounts of power... 9mns or so he says 461HP. Then a minute later it has 600HP 😂😳

[@orxanmuradl1792]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpOoc2eDodKDl5I actually i don't think it can make that with 461hp

[@TTT-Turbo]

Hi, Im currently lokking at buying a Panamera Estate 2.9 V6 E-Hybrid 14kWh 4 Sport Turismo PDK 4WD Euro 6 (s/s) 5dr (2019/69) Have you or anyone else on the channel got any knowledge to share and what to look for. Also, servicing costs and changing belts etc what kinda money is involved with these repairs. Any help would be brilliant before I go and pull the trigger on one. Many thanks Ian

[@robertkertoikromo8643]

what about the air filter , like the tesla one??

[@cenewton3221]

Passed a Panamera two days ago here in Louisville, KY, USA ... not many around here and no clue of its age, but it was super cool. Only problem was, the driver didn't want to play. Either he was too boring, too scared or just a snob LOL. Seriously though, it was a beautiful car.

[@MajorKlanga]

It uses the touchscreen to open and close the centre vent; what could possibly go wrong?

[@MsShimon88]

Is it only me or the clock at 4:20 is going backwards? they played it in reverse?

[@benhenry1571]

Nice chinos!

[@vladkuz1298]

680hp omg 😮 🤤

[@Leonfr_2022]

Did the boot close? Didn’t look like it would??

[@crazycrazysnakeman]

It’d be nice if it looked like something completely different

[@piperbob2]

I like Acid Green ("lime green" ), but not the Burgundy Red or maroon as a colour for a car. The car's great despite the paint colour, though !

[@oskar8968]

you can get others....

[@RayBanJockey]

I love your reviews but honestly man it's time to cut it all off - I did and haven't looked back, just do it!

[@Andrew-nu8ez]

Will get this over a Model S.

[@AOTanoos22]

The title is kind of misleading to be honest, since this car is not the normal Porsche E-hybrid Sport Turismo with a V6 as the tittle suggests, but its the top model turbo s E-Hybrid with the V8 engine in it.

[@withoutwroeirs]

surprised with the cabin noise in normal driving conditions - way more than the Cayenne even.

[@bid84]

Looks a bit like my Scimitar from the side if you squint!!

[@DrOneOneOne]

I think he liked it.

[@gerritdewachter6830]

The lime green ‘e-hybrid’ badges on the doors cannot be removed because emergency services need to know that they are dealing with a hybrid vehicle at all times. An electrical fire can be very challenging. So I am pretty sure your local Porsche dealer will NOT happily remove them, nor should they. Fantastic car though, at his best on the Autobahn.

[@BMH1965]

Shooting-brakes have 3 doors. Most people would call this car a 'hatchback'. If you think the glovebox is 'a good size' you really need to reassess your expectations.

[@andyn6266]

More expensive than my house.

[@selfishgypsytears2322]

Man you make me laugh 😂😂😂

[@petercavellini3232]

Lovely car?, yes , yes it is, would I like to own one?

[@frankomrkic8917]

Beautiful beast that is what this car is.

[@benjaminkessler8169]

pick one up in 3 years for 45k, hahahaha

[@markscars1069]

Try owning one for a couple of years and keep count of the number of times it visits the dealer with various hybrid system-related issues...

[@peterlattimore6013]

Oh you cynical old man.... or does Porsche have a problem with their ESS??? That's Energy Storage System for the uneducated...

[@gporourke627]

For a car costing over 150grand, how can there be " optional extras" ? A car costing that much should come with EVERYTHING !! . Even a house...

[@klasseact6663]

Hey, just because glass you can see through and round tires are extra, don't complain so much, it isn't that bad, LOL!

[@richdelgado3405]

Take a look at Porsche's configurator for the car. You can easily add $20k-$30k in options with just a few clicks.

[@mkkravist11]

Nice car but not amazing and absolute madness at £158k!!!!

[@jdmfan2170]

Brand new its 158k but just buy a 4 months year old one, for like 70k. It's good because they don depreciate that badly past a certain point.

[@YoungDen]

It's a Turbo S which is creme da la creme for everyday comfort, performance and now efficiency. Can't say their is a worthy competitor for all that they offer at this day and time.

[@oskar8968]

that interior design isn't 3 years old lmao...

Problem with all these cars is that they cost a fortune when they need any work. OK when you have the warranty but God help you thereafter!

One up where the sun don’t shine?

[@Wunderbaumsporting]

Am I the only one to notice how all of this walking-through is done just like Mat Watson at carwow does, but just a bit worse in every way? Also, the thumbnail picture made me actually think that I was about to watch a carwow video. Prefer carwow.

The Sport Tourismo (which is my favorite Porsche) can be specked much higher than this one, As far as I know you can get separate rear seats, and 4 zone climate and massage and such.

[@liamwaters2360]

Vincent Neser you can spec one to about £195k

[@theonewhowatchesthewatchme2275]

@@liamwaters2360 Speced to my liking its 2.7 million Rand which is 143K pounds. With some and more of those features I commented.

[@liamwaters2360]

Yeah, it’s a Porsche. You have to spec the “full hog”. I’d have one in Miami blue if I had £200k to spend on a daily 😂

[@marcusdumitru]

just gimmick. Even the color match of those trousers! Spoiler on a wagon. Air vents that close by searching for them in an intricate menu. Headroom is small. Boot is small. Ugly car. Who would spend 130000 on this?

[@mkkravist11]

marcusdumitru it’s £158 grand!! Mental!!!

[@tigerkitty7371]

people that like the design and driveability of a porsche i wouldnt think twice buying this one no regrets

Bad editing, barely any clips or cutaways to the thing the presenter was referring to. Better luck next time.

[@ikosimisimo3363]

Let's be clear, the boot isn't big!
