Spied 2028 Porsche Panamera Facelift Shows EV-Inspired Design, Hints at Plug-In Power

Launch plans remain fluid as Porsche reevaluates electrification under new leadership.

Overview

  • Prototype testing on public roads in cold conditions reveals a refreshed Panamera that retains the current generation but adopts styling cues from Porsche’s latest electric models.
  • Updated lighting includes taped rear elements that resemble the electric Cayenne’s light bar, with reports suggesting the Porsche script may be integrated within the taillight.
  • Front-end changes include a relocated illuminated Porsche logo within the headlight, redesigned bumpers, and a windshield safety sensor array similar to the electric Macan.
  • High-performance hardware seen on the test car includes quad exhaust outlets, large carbon-ceramic brakes, a deployable rear spoiler, and Turbo-spec center-lock wheels.
  • Dual rear-fender fuel doors and a visible charge flap indicate a plug-in hybrid variant under development, with an expected debut targeted for late 2026 or early 2027 subject to potential timing shifts.
