The Porsche Panamera is the lesser-known of the Porsche lineup, but it’s nothing new. Drivers looking for a comfortable and exhilarating driving experience may look for a Cayman or a Boxster, and the obvious answer for a fun family vehicle is the Macan or Cayenne. In between both is a sporty and overall underrated sedan that many people already forget exists. If that isn’t enough, it’s begun to live in the shadow of the powerful and expensive electric four-door, the Porsche Taycan and the Taycan Turbo S. If you want health in-between, however, you may be interested to know that there is a hybrid drivetrain option for the 2021 Porsche Panamera — and it’s totally underrated.

Hybrid options for the 2021 Porsche Panamera

At its core, the 2021 Porsche Panamera is a luxury sedan with a bit of pep. Add on the option for a hybrid drivetrain, and the car itself has quite a bit of potential. Its flies under the radar next to its rival, the Audi A7, and it’s quite an exciting car for the price. You can buy an older generation of the Panamera, or you can enjoy a brand new one with a hybrid drivetrain and stand out from the rest of the boring hybrid models consumers have come to know — like the Toyota Prius. For interested buyers, there isn’t just one trim level of the 2021 Porsche Panamera that is offered with a hybrid drivetrain, either, but instead, it stands as a model of its own with a borderline absurd number of trim levels.

With typical Porsche expertise, the Panamera Hybrid expertly balances high-end luxury with remarkable performance, offering as much as 690 horsepower at its peak and more than a handful of luxuries some owners only dream about. Just to list a few of the ridiculous luxuries features, you can find these upgrades along the trim levels that make it worth the money:
