How long does it take to order a Panamera?

If it's a personalized custom order, it mainly depends on the allocation your chosen 4S dealership can offer you. For example, if you purchase in March and receive a May allocation, while someone else purchases in April and gets the same month's allocation, the latter is more likely to receive their car first. Generally, the delivery time is about 3 months after the allocation. Customizing a Panamera—from the manufacturer starting production, shipping it to the 4S dealership, and finally the owner picking it up—typically takes around six months in total. The Porsche Panamera, known in Chinese as 'Palamera' or 'Panamera,' is simply the Chinese translation of the name.

This isn't unique to the Panamera—all Porsche vehicles have the start button on the left side of the steering wheel. This design is inherited from the Le Mans-style starts of the 20th century. The official guide price range for the Porsche Panamera is 998,000 to 2,178,000 RMB, with virtually no discounts on the actual ex-factory price. As an imported model, for example, the 2019 Panamera GTS Sport Turismo 4.0T model has an ex-factory price of 1.87 million RMB, while the actual on-road price reaches 2.08 million RMB.
I recently ordered a Porsche Panamera, and the whole process took about 5 months because I opted for a fully customized configuration, like a special color and sport seats. To be honest, the waiting time depends on the model you choose—the base version might be quicker, but you'll need patience for the custom version. Porsche is produced in Germany, and with production scheduling plus shipping to China, it generally takes at least 3 months. I used that time to research vehicle maintenance knowledge, which was quite fulfilling. I recommend contacting the dealer directly to ask about inventory cars—if there's one in stock, you could be driving it in a few weeks. Don't stay idle while waiting; you can buy car insurance or accessories in advance. Overall, customization makes the car more personal, so a little wait is worth it.
