Overview
Cars like the 2012 Porsche Panamera Hybrid Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The Panamera Hybrid uses its 3.0L Supercharged V6 engine and a single 35kW electric motor hybrid system to produce 380 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Panamera Hybrid a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2012 Panamera Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 25 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the Panamera Hybrid competes with considerably less expensive rivals such as the Infiniti M M35h Sedan, the Lexus GS 450h Sedan, and the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Sedan. It offers a single trim with a base MSRP of $95,000.
