7.6based on 7 expert reviews
We aggregate the most helpful Porsche Panamera Hybrid reviews from the best publications.
Reviews are mixed on the Panamera Hybrid. For some it makes a lot of sense if you intend to do a lot of city driving where the car can use its electric mode for silent, smooth and economical running. Testers also praise the transition between petrol, electric and both modes at the same time.
It’s also one of the quickest hybrids on sale so will appeal to petrolheads. Several reviewers note that it’s a hybrid with no sacrifices in terms of performance - unsurprising with a supercharged, electrically-assisted V6 under the bonnet - but many reviews criticise the huge extra cost over the more economical and only marginally slower diesel model.
If you want performance and economy it’s a good compromise, but the Diesel makes more financial sense.

Read full review...this is another ‘eco’ variant that doesn’t require the driver to make any noticeable sacrifices, with petrol and electric power blending seamlessly for everything from gentle wafting to full-bore acceleration.
