Panamera Sport Turismo

The Panamera sedan existed for nearly a decade before Porsche introduced the Sport Turismo wagon variant, which coincided with the arrival of the second-gen model. At the time, only select trim levels were available for the five-door. After the mild refresh in 2021, however, the automaker allowed buyers to have either body configuration in any flavor they fancied. This is still true for 2023, meaning shoppers can choose between the 4, 4S, GTS, or Turbo S versions with either conventional gas engines or a hybridized powertrain—except for the GTS, which doesn’t offer the hybrid option. Got all that? While we’ve yet to run any of the latest Panamera Sport Turismo wagons through our extensive testing regimen, we did spend quality time behind the wheel of a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. Once again we came away impressed, especially with the seamless integration of hybrid technology, including its power delivery and the effectiveness of its regenerative braking system. The Sport Turismo may be the wagonized version of the Panamera sedan, but that doesn’t stop it from living up to the brand’s image. Like its sedan sibling, it delivers the kind of performance that serious drivers can revel in.
