Two seven-inch screens either side of the analogue rev counter form the interactive cockpit, and, in contrast to the other versions in the model line, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid features a power meter tailored to hybrid operation. The intuitive operating principle of the hybrid-specific displays is similar to that used in the Porsche 918 Spyder super sportscar. The power meter provides data such as the amount of electrical energy currently being used as well as that recovered through recuperation.

A 12.3-inch touchscreen functions as a central PCM control and display unit. The driver can access various items of hybrid-specific information both here on the dash and in the instrument cluster. The boost assistant and hybrid assistant are both practical and informative. The boost assistant display shows the energy available for boosting, while the hybrid assistant provides various visual signals for regulating the electrical drive power.

The Sport Chrono Package including the mode switch integrated into the steering wheel forms part of the standard equipment on the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. The mode switch and Porsche Communication Management are used to activate the various driving modes. These modes include the familiar "Sport" and "Sport Plus" modes from the other Panamera models equipped with the Sport Chrono Package. The hybrid-specific modes are "E-Power", "Hybrid Auto", "E-Hold" and "E-Charge".

The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid always starts in the purely electric "E-Power" mode. The "Hybrid Auto" mode is a completely new development. When this mode is selected, the Panamera changes and combines the drive sources automatically for ultimate efficiency.

The "E-Hold" mode allows drivers to consciously conserve the current state of charge to enable them to switch to electric and therefore zero-emissions mode in an environmental zone at their destination, for example. In "E-Charge" mode, the battery is charged by the V6 engine; to achieve this, the petrol engine generates a higher level of power than is actually needed for driving.

The highest level of drive performance is made available in the "Sport" and "Sport Plus" modes. The V6 biturbo engine is active continuously in these modes. In "Sport" mode, the battery charge is always maintained at a minimum level to ensure there are sufficient e-boost reserve capacities when needed.

"Sport Plus" mode is all about maximum performance and allows the Panamera to reach its top speed of 278 km/h. This mode also recharges the battery as quickly as possible with the help of the V6 biturbo engine.

In Germany, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, available to order now, starts at 107,553 euros including VAT. The first units in Europe will be delivered from mid-April. Deliveries in all other continents will follow in 2017. The plug-in hybrid version is the fourth model in the new Porsche Panamera line; all models are all-wheel drive. The line now consists of the Panamera Turbo (404 kW/550 hp), the Panamera 4S (324 kW/440 hp), the Panamera 4S Diesel (310 kW/422 hp) and the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid (340 kW/462 hp system power). These four models represent a fusion of sportscar and passenger car to form a Gran Turismo concept offering a globally unique combination of dynamism and comfort.
