2 Answers
The differences between the extended and standard Panamera are as follows: 1. Different appearance: The extended version has a larger interior space and longer overall length. The wheelbase of the extended Panamera is 50mm longer than the standard version, and the overall length is increased by 150mm. 2. Different powertrain: The standard version is equipped with a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with a maximum power output of 243kW and maximum torque of 450Nm. This engine delivers peak power at 5400-6400 rpm and maximum torque at 1340-4900 rpm. The extended version features a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine producing 338kW maximum power and 620Nm maximum torque. This engine reaches peak power at 6000-6500 rpm and maximum torque at 1800-4500 rpm.
The most noticeable difference in the Panamera Extended Wheelbase is the significantly larger rear seating space. I've ridden in a friend's extended version, where I could stretch my legs and even cross them comfortably. While the standard version's rear seats aren't cramped, taller individuals over 1.8 meters might find their knees touching the front seats. Additionally, the extended version's rear doors are noticeably longer, making entry and exit much easier, especially for women wearing skirts. However, the 13-centimeter increase in body length does require more caution when parking. Moreover, the extended version typically comes with features like electric sunshades and independent rear climate control, which are optional in the standard version. The price difference is around 80,000 yuan more, but for business receptions or frequent family trips, the extra cost is well worth it.
