St yle lends self-assurance in our
interaction with others and in tricky
situations. Indeed, it is only when we
remain distinguishable that st yle does not
become outmoded through formality.
It takes a certain feel. It takes one’s own
ideas and impulses. That ’s when st yle
becomes our own personal st yle.
Style and feel. Personality.

Your first impression of the Panamera
interior is the generous amount of comfort.
The second impression is one of sport y
lightness and excellent ergonomics. The
five round instruments have an integrated
4.8-inch colour screen. The centre console
ascends towards the front, shortening the
reach bet ween the steering wheel and the
gear selector. All the important controls
are arranged into logical groups to give
you quick access to important functions
without the need to browse through long
sub-menus.Smooth-finish leather, natural leather,
two-tone colour combinations, elegant
woods, aluminium and carbon – thanks
to these and many more personalisation
options, you can make your Panamera
even more sport y or even more
comfortable. Or both. In the Panamera
Turbo and Panamera GTS, the rooflining

is upholstered in Alcantara as standard
(optional for all other models). For
more detailed information about colours
and personalisation, please refer to
page 110 onwards.


There’s still nothing quite like being surrounded by your own four walls.
Even when you’re on the move.
Interior.
The Panamera models offer a variet y of
storage options, for example in the doors
and centre console. There is a cupholder
in the front centre armrest and t wo
cupholders in the rear compartment. On
request at no extra charge, it is possible
to have a further t wo fold- out cupholders
fitted above the glove compartment.

For extra storage space, a large centre
console is available as an option for
the rear compartment. It comes with a
230 -volt socket, an additional 12-volt
socket and preparation for a cooling compartment. The interior lighting
concept with switch- off delay is practical
and appealing. This includes illuminated
door handles and storage compartments
in the front, orientation lights, front
foot well lights and also reading lights
and interior lights – one of each for all
four seats.

An optional interior lighting package
conceived specifically for the rear
adds t wo reading lights to the overhead
console, lights in each footwell, additional
orientation lighting in the rear, and
illumination for door storage compartments
and the compartment in the rear centre
console. These are predominantly
powerful yet energy-efficient LEDs. The
additional ambient lighting on the
overhead consoles in the front and rear
and the reading lights are dimmable.

Automatic climate control, with zonal
regulation in the front compartment, is
integrated as standard. An active carbon filter traps particles, pollen and odours.
Four-zone automatic climate control,

with separate temperature controls for
all four seats, is available as an option.

Thermally and noise-insulated glass can
be fit ted as an option, as can dark-tinted
privacy glazing which will maintain your
privacy and protect the interior from the
effects of strong sunlight. Just like the
electric roll-up sunblinds in the rear
compartment and on the rear side
windows.

Optional soft close doors are available for
all Panamera models. A closing mechanism
integrated in each door lock ensures
comfortable and safe closing of all four
doors.

Front seats.
The front seats with integrated headrests
offer a high degree of comfort and hold
your body firm during cornering, without
restricting your freedom of movement.
Seat adjustment is fully electric as
standard with controls on both the driver
and front passenger sides for seat
height, squab and backrest angle, and
fore/aft position. A driver memory
package, available as an option, enables
the driver’s seat and exterior mirror
positions to be saved and restored
automatically.

Optional 14-way power seats with
memory package (standard in the
Panamera Turbo) for driver and front passenger offer even more functionalit y.
In addition to featuring an electric
steering column adjustment facilit y, the
package includes electric four-way
lumbar support, electric seat squab
length adjustment and personal memory
settings for seat, steering wheel, PCM
and mirror positions.


The courtesy lights (LEDs in the exterior
mirrors) are a component of the driver
memory package and 14-way power
seats with memory package. ISOFIX
child seat mounting points are available
as an option for the front passenger
seat in conjunction with the deactivation
function for the passenger airbag.
Adaptive Sports seats.
The optional adaptive Sports seats have
firmer – yet still comfortable – upholster y
and provide even bet ter lateral support
thanks to the raised side bolsters on the
seat squab and backrest.

Featuring 18 -way electric adjustment,
the seats can be optimally adapted to
meet your needs in terms of seat height,
squab and backrest angle, squab length,
fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable. In addition,
the side bolsters on the seat squab and
backrest are independently adjustable
for added comfort over long distances or precision lateral support on winding
roads. Also included is the personal
memory for the driver and front
passenger seats (including lumbar
support), the steering wheel and the
driver’s exterior mirror.

Rear seats.
The rear compartment has t wo fully
independent seats with plent y of leg- and
headroom, even for taller passengers.
They provide good lateral support,
even during fast cornering, with no
compromise on comfort. Between the
seats is a folding armrest with a handy
storage compartment. The backrests
fold down individually with a ratio of
40:60 to increase storage capacit y or
to accommodate larger items. The
split is 40:20:40 in conjunction with the
optional ski bag. With the optional large
centre console, the backrests can still
be folded separately while the console
itself remains fixed in position.

Eight-way power seats are available as
an option for the rear in any of the
Panamera models. In addition to the electric backrest adjustment, seat squab
length adjustment and lumbar support
functions, there is a facilit y to adjust

the front passenger seat from the rear.
When specified in conjunction with seat
ventilation, the eight-way power seats
(rear) feature automatic comfort headrests
(p. 90). In conjunction with the adaptive
Sports seats in the front, Sports seats
are also fit ted in the rear and feature
a sport y seam design and elevated side
bolsters.
ISOFIX child seat mounting points are
fit ted as standard on both rear seats in
all Panamera models.

Seat heating and ventilation.
The front seats of the Panamera S
models, the Panamera GTS and the
Panamera Turbo feature seat heating
as standard (optional for the Panamera
and Panamera 4). This heats the seat
squab and backrest to a pleasant
temperature. In the Panamera Turbo, the seats in the rear also have a heating
function (optional for all other models).


On request, we can equip the front seats,
indeed all four seats, with seat ventilation
(only in conjunction with seat heating).
A slipstream effect is produced by active
ventilation of the perforated seat centre
and backrest and by passive aeration
at
the side bolsters. This evaporates
perspiration moisture and therefore makes
for a comfortable seating environment,
even in hot weather. Seat heating and
seat ventilation can be adjusted
independently to any one of three power
levels.

Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) with navigation module.
Porsche Communication Management

of symbols that represent your next
driving instructions. The navigation
module also features dynamic route
guidance, which recalculates the route in response to of ficial traf fic messages
(TMC) and information from traffic flow
sensors (TMC Pro).


One key function of PCM in the

display of the hybrid drive system
showing the flow of energy in the various
modes, such as all - electric mode,
e - boost, recuperation or coasting.
Another display – ‘Hybrid Zero Emission’
– shows you the amount of time, as
a proportion of the total driving time,
that you have spent driving without the

Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It automatically logs
the mileage, route distance, date, time,
starting location and destination for ever y
journey. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks as
specified by the German revenue
authorities.
Telephone module.
The quadband GSM telephone module is
available as an option for PCM and offers
convenience and excellent reception.
With a SIM card inserted directly into
PCM’s integral SIM card reader, calls
can be made using either the hands-free
facility or the cordless handset.
Alternatively, the Bluetooth
® capability
of a mobile phone can be used to make
calls through the SIM Access Profile
(SAP). Once automatic pairing is complete,
the mobile phone’s aerial is switched
off to conserve bat tery charge and the
phone operates via the car aerial.
Depending on the type of mobile phone,
this gives access not only to the numbers
on the SIM card, but also to the phone’s
internal memory. Also depending on
the phone, it can be controlled using
PCM, the multifunction steering wheel
or the voice control system without it
ever leaving your pocket. In addition,
the telephone module enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
through the aerial of the mobile phone. PCM acts as a hands-free system and you
can leave the mobile phone tucked away.
Please refer to the note on page 136.


To make a private call, despite having
other passengers in the vehicle, the
telephone module includes a cordless
Bluetooth
® handset, with display and
keyboard located in the centre console.
However, the handset cannot be used
for Bluetooth
® links established using
the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
An optional mobile phone preparation is
available to enable a Bluetooth
®
connection for those mobile phones that
only support the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
This function also enables you to leave
your mobile phone tucked away. The CDR
audio system and PCM can be used to
control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone and the GSM connection is
established through the mobile phone’s
aerial. Please refer to the note on
p age 13 6.
Online services.
Using the free-to - download Aha Radio
app, you can use your smartphone to
stream Internet radio, news feeds,
podcasts and audiobooks directly to the
PCM. Local information, such as hotel
and restaurant listings, can be read aloud
automatically thanks to text-to-speech
functionality. Point of Interest searches
with subsequent direct selection as your
navigation destination are also supported.
The online content is received by your
smartphone and controlled by means of
