Enhanced 2024 Porsche Panamera now open for order at RM 1.3 Million

KUALA LUMPUR: Porsche Malaysia has announced that the refreshed Panamera is now available for order, with the third-generation model starting at RM 1,300,000. This latest iteration introduces a comprehensive upgrade in both technology and design, further reinforcing its position as a premier luxury sports sedan.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What's new in the 2024 Porsche Panamera?

    State-of-the-art suspension systems for greater comfort and dynamics, new exterior design with even greater emphasis on width, Porsche Driver Experience: new control concept and digital cockpit, extensive selection of innovative assistance systems.
  • How much do you need to pay to book it?

    RM1.3 million
  • What size engine and how much power?

    2.9-litre Turbo V6 with 353PS and 500Nm of torque
  • The new Panamera features an advanced dual-chamber, two-valve air suspension system equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). This innovative setup provides a notable improvement in driving dynamics, offering a more refined balance between comfort and sporty responsiveness. It manages to smooth out road imperfections effectively while ensuring the vehicle remains stable and agile during dynamic driving situations. The enhanced damper control allows for quicker responses and a broader range of adjustment, optimizing the vehicle's performance especially during high-speed cornering.

    In terms of design, the exterior of the Panamera has been significantly revised to emphasize its sporty stature. The changes include a more pronounced emphasis on width, with additional air intakes above the front bumper to accommodate the increased cooling requirements of the upgraded engine. The vehicle's profile is also enhanced by a redesigned window line and a more streamlined rear that aligns smoothly with the car’s contours, promoting an overall sleeker appearance.

    In the interior front, the Panamera offers a luxurious and sport-oriented cabin, with a revamped layout that focuses on ergonomic and intuitive controls. The Porsche Driver Experience control concept integrates both digital and analogue elements, placing crucial driving controls along the driver's axis for ease of access. The gear selector and mode switches for driving programs are strategically positioned to minimize driver distraction, enhancing focus on the road.

    Digital integration is also a key highlight in the new Panamera, featuring a comprehensive update to the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system. This includes compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing for seamless connectivity with smartphones. An optional passenger display integrates the co-driver into the navigation and entertainment experience without distracting the driver.

    Performance-wise, the Panamera has been upgraded with a more powerful 2.9-liter V6 turbo engine, complemented by an advanced 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission. This setup boosts the engine output to 353 PS and 500 Nm of torque, enabling faster acceleration and a higher top speed compared to its predecessor. This is an increase of 23 PS and 50 Nm compared to the outgoing model. The model's braking system has also been enhanced, featuring larger front brake discs and a new electric brake booster for improved responsiveness and precision.

    Overall, the third-generation Panamera combines state-of-the-art technology, refined comfort, and dynamic performance, making it a standout choice in the luxury sedan market.

    The Porsche Panamera has had a distinctive presence in Malaysia since it was first introduced. Launched globally in 2009 and arriving in Malaysia shortly thereafter, the Panamera marked Porsche's entry into the four-door luxury sedan market. This model was a significant shift for Porsche, known primarily for its high-performance sports cars.

    In Malaysia, the Panamera appeals to a niche market: affluent individuals who seek the performance of a sports car combined with the practicalities of a sedan. Its reception in Malaysia reflects its positioning as a luxury vehicle with a significant price tag, making it accessible predominantly to the wealthier segment of car buyers.

    While the Panamera offers high performance and advanced features, its sales in Malaysia are limited by factors such as the high import taxes and duties on luxury vehicles, which considerably increase its cost. Additionally, the Malaysian automotive market has a strong preference for SUVs and more economically priced vehicles, which puts the Panamera at a competitive disadvantage in terms of broader market appeal.

    Despite these challenges, the Panamera maintains its status through continuous updates that include enhanced engine performance, modernised technology, and improved comfort features. These updates keep it relevant in a market that values both luxury and innovation but remain within a niche due to its pricing and specific market positioning.
