Does the Panamera Have a Five-Seat Version?
2 Answers
The Panamera does have a five-seat version, which is the estate variant of the Panamera. This model's safety features include knee airbags, rear child seat ISOFIX anchors, tire pressure monitoring, ABS anti-lock braking, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and night vision system. The Panamera Estate's driver assistance systems comprise a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, drive mode selection, automatic parking, start-stop technology, auto hold, hill start assist, adaptive suspension damping, adjustable ride height, air suspension, and variable-ratio steering.
The standard seating layout of the Panamera is a 2+2 four-seat design, with two seats in the front and two independent seats in the back, separated by cup holders and a center console. So fitting five people in the regular version is indeed a stretch. However, Porsche knows its customers well—for newer models post-2020 (like the 971.2), a five-seat configuration can be found in the options list. You just need to pay extra (around 80,000 yuan) for the rear three-seat bench. With this option, the middle seat is a bit narrower, but it’s fine for squeezing in a child temporarily, and the trunk can still fit three carry-on suitcases. That said, not many people opt for the five-seat version, as performance- and style-oriented owners tend to prefer the standard sport seats.
