Where is the fuel tank cap release button on the Panamera?

The Panamera does not have a fuel tank cap release button. Simply unlock the vehicle, then lightly press the fuel tank cap to open it. The car fuel tank is a box-shaped container made of stainless steel for storing gasoline, featuring excellent sealing with only a small circular opening for fuel storage. Taking the 2021 Panamera 2.9T as an example: it is a large car launched by Porsche, with dimensions of 5049mm in length, 1937mm in width, and 1423mm in height, a wheelbase of 2950mm, equipped with a 2.9T V6 turbocharged engine delivering a maximum power of 243kW, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I recently bought a used Panamera and was initially worried about not being able to find the fuel filler flap button, since it’s my first time owning a luxury car. After some exploration, I discovered it’s located on the floor near the driver’s seat, close to the door—just press it to open, super convenient. When refueling, just press it while standing beside the car, but remember to park and turn off the engine first—safety comes first. I discussed this in the owners’ group, and the design is meant to allow the driver to handle it directly after getting out without bending down. The Panamera’s overall layout is user-friendly, and the button placement is similar to many German cars—just get used to checking it, no need to worry about accidental opening. I recommend asking the seller to demonstrate it when buying the car to save time searching, as new cars always come with little surprises.
