Entering the fold are the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid models, which are being introduced in response to growing demand and interest in efficiency and e-Hybird powertrains. Porsche has sought to develop a model that offers a more electric driving range, faster charging, and better driving performance when compared to the previous generation model. The new E-Hybid powertrain consists of a 2.9-litre biturbo V6 petrol engine mated to a new 140 kW/ 450 N.m electric motor. In the 4 E-Hybrid configuration, the cumulative efforts of the ICE and motor generate 346 kW and 650 N.m, allowing the sports saloon to sprint from 0 km/h to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. Sourcing power from a new high-voltage battery, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is capable of driving up to 96 kilometres on its electric drive system alone.

The 4S E-Hybrid is the more athletic hybrid model between the two newly added hybrid models. The 2.9-litre six-cylinder beating heart can produce 260 kW on its own, but when working in tandem with the electric motor, results in a total system output of 400 kW and 750 N.m. Aiding in overall driving performance is the adaptive two-chamber air suspension system that includes the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system, which is standard for all Panamera models, including the new hybrid models. Additionally, Porsche offers its Porsche Active Ride suspension as an option for the new hybrid models.

The E-Hybrid models are visually distinguished by several exterior design elements, such as the new Matrix LED headlights, a new horizontal air intake, a continuous taillight, and a frameless rear window. 19-inch wheels are standard for the 4 E-Hybrid models, whereas the 4S E-Hybrid wears 20-inch Panamera AeroDesign wheels and features six-piston brake callipers on the front axle. Customers can opt for ten-piston brake callipers and the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake package.
