2017 Porsche Panamera Long-Wheelbase Executive

The Porsche Panamera range has gained six new models as production of the luxurious five-door liftback is ramped up following the second-generation model’s introduction earlier this year. Porsche is bringing the rest of the 2017 Panamera range to the L.A. auto show next week. The second-generation will make its U.S. debut and show off a new base V-6 engine and long-wheelbase Executive body style.

Porsche has also added an entry-level 326bhp 3.6-litre V6 turbo to the range version of the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 used in the hybrid. That’s 108 hp less than the 2.9-liter in the 4S, but 20 hp more than the last base car that was powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V-6. Porsche says the new force-fed engine reduces fuel consumption over the previous mill. The engine will be available in both rear- and all-wheel drive configurations, and will even be available in long-wheelbase trim with the Panamera 4 Executive.

The new Executive models are marked out by a wheelbase that has been stretched by 5.9 inches and significantly lengthen the car for improved rear legroom. There are also big changes inside, with Porsche adding a panoramic roof, heated seats with multi-way powered adjustment in the rear, plus adaptive air suspension with an electronically-controlled damper system as standard. In addition, the Turbo Executive gets four-zone climate control, LED headlights, and ambient interior lighting as standard. A large rear center console and Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment system with enormous 10.1-inch screens are optional. The 2017 Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo will hit dealer lots in January 2017.
