- I was fortunate enough to review what may be the best Executive level high-performance daily. The car absolutely blew me away with performance, quality and design. Of course, like everything in this world it has some minor aspects that I find less appealing to me, but the overall package left a very positive impression on me! Have a look yourself!
Thank you for watching!

Best review of the E-Hybrid I've seen (and I think I've watched them all :) )
Every video should start with a tunnel launch control, love it.
What a cracking real world review of the car. All the faults, all the positives and overall recommendations. Nice work Misha.
It is a beauty and sounds amazing when you floor it!!
Even if I sold both of my cars, I couldn't even afford a tenth of it. That being said, the Turismo version is gorgeous ! Wagons are love, wagons are life.
1 of the best Review of a Porsche Panamera Hybrid on you tube cheers for the honesty
One of the most comprehensive 4 e hybrid review. Thanks for showing us the car.
What a great review. Covering all aspects one can imagine and not talking about only the positive points which happens mostly nowadays. I approve.
drove one today. very comfortable, lots of space, only 13 liters / 100km even though my right foot was (unusual) heavy. superb sound, smooth shifting. I want one...
very underrated.. truly deserve more subs for such a genuine reviewer..
I have been subscribed to your channel for the past year or so, and can say i really like your channel, so good when it comes to exclusive cars and nurburgring in general, and you act so casual and normal, i can relate as a petrolhead to your approach, i hope your channel only gets bigger and better like Porsches over the past years hahah;
Just a supportive comment i think your channel deserved even more of those
Thank you!
This review gave me the final push. Proud owner of a panamera now.
Same here, this video did it for me!
What kind of experience do you have now with the Panamera hybrid, any technical issues? Hows the reliability?
@@Rumblingbelly I still drive it, I have had 0 issues with the car. Always drive in sport (not sport +) and have used the launch control with hybrid numerous times.
@@Hermanos22 how is the fuel economy on that hybrid in city? and how really expensive is it to maintain it like brakes and services
@@mihajlomandic6800 if you worry about brake pad costs or any service, Don’t buy a Panamera. And I have no idea about hybrid city costs. I live rural and only use the battery as extra power (sport) I never drive on H (hybrid)
Misha, your honest review of a fabulous car is so refreshing and real world. Porsche have chosen wise to bring you on-board!
Given a chance, I would buy this in a heartbeat!
Drove a panamera 4s last week, and i was pretty impressed what a nice car.
A dude just gave me a ride on the exact same model...i was absolutly amazed of the sound and everything it came with it...we werent on the autobahn but we still went over 200kph and it was like nothing...felt normal which was crazy..amazing sound and putting your foot down in sport+ and even on highway it was violent..seats were comfortable and everything about it was amazing..as a big hater of EVs i would still get the hybrid one in the end of the day a 2.9litre v6 is still there and you hear it..boot was okay but other than that what an amazing car i would deff buy and recomend
I must say Misha currently 20 minutes into watching, your giving the Porsche a very through and honest review well done
It is a great car but I feel they've pushed the brand pricing way out there. 160k+ for not even a full spec on this specific model (no CCBs, sound system etc) does not make sense unless you're a Porsche purist imo. You can get a full specced M5 for less (yes not a hybrid but an equally amazing and sporty saloon car). I was actually considering a Panamera before I purchased an M5 F90 and their pricing structure put me off entirely.
Great review all in all, keep them coming, I really enjoy this in-depth real life usage type of content you're doing.
Well done Misha, I've been following you for some time now. Consistent content, good content, good style (you), always good knowledge and expertise.
Great review. 👍
Love the car already and an honest review. Purist Porsche expanded there model line to appeal to more people and make more more money hasn't hurt there integrity at all or the core 911
Happy to hear that you liked the car Misha! I’ve ordered one and is expected to receive it in April. First I test drove the base model 4. Was pretty impressed by it since I’m driving a X5 30d. However when I jumped into the 4E hybrid I immediately told myself that I needed the hybrid version. IMO it’s supposed to be called the 4S E-hybrid since it’s waaayyyy faster than the base model, 4. Don’t think there is another hybrid car in the market that is actually focusing on boosting the power output rather than just “saving” fuel. Also as you said. A lot of “sport” sedans aren’t even sporty. Like the bmw 740E, when you put it in sports mode it’s still soft and wabbles around corners. Also I believe the PDK gearbox makes a big difference as well as you do feel it shift like a real sports car. Love it !
I wish you many safe and exciting smiles and miles!
Hi Misha an excellent review based on your own experience highlighting benefits of electric power some people don't think about
Keep up the good work
Best Panamera Hybrid video ever, thank you sooo much, now i will go out and
buy one :-)
Misha, to track forward and back, press the center scroll wheel (the one that looks like it should be a volume knob but isn’t) sideways. Terrible layout. And you cannot access your preset list from the steering wheel. Massive fail. That volume roller is stupid and poorly placed. Agree with you on the vent. Horrible. The cupholders aren’t bad Not as cool as the pull out ones but try fitting anything in those pull out ones. They are terrible.
Great honest review.
Glad you liked it!
What a beautiful Panamera with the Panorama of the Eifel :)
thanks misha for all the videos the past few days, enjoying the content
greetings to all of APEX !!
Great review misha, keepm coming....finally someone who isnt afraid to show a dirty car and speaks unprepared..
Yes exactly
Well said. Makes it real, relatable.
Misha I just saw this video and I think its great. I am actually deciding at this moment between an E63 and a Panamera and im going to go for the Panamera e-hybrid. It covers all bases for me because we have two children (My beautiful wife has just spec'd a really cool Macan GTS) and a lot of the driving is under 20km. Thanks for a great review.
Best car review I’ve seen in a very long time. Just really enjoy watching your channel 👍
nice review Misha I think it could be a a good idea if you divide the review in segments like exterior, interior, how does it drives and your personal opinion
I have a Panamera 4S for about 2 years and I loved it. I recently decided to trade in my 4S to a e-hybrid which comes in July. After watching the video I really can't wait for my new car. I have to say my 1st generation 4s came with a gear box problem which was very disappointing and Porsche took my car in 5 times but couldn't fix the problem.
How has your hybrid been with reliability, any technical issues?
I test-drove it as well for a few days and you really get a different perspective on braking. Back in my non-hybrid car, whenever I had to brake, it felt like wasting so much energy... :D
Thank you Mischa your content is always great!
Yeah Holland looking at you. Love it!
I love the Panamera line. If I had the money to be in a position to afford such a car, this would be an awesome daily. I'd probably lean towards the Sport Turismo. Hopefully you can review that as well 👍
Nicely done, greatly informative about the vehicle. Definitely on the "Lottery win" list now.
Great review Misha, think the best and most honest ive seen. As a 2018 ehybrid owner you really nailed it. I also have problems with the charge point flap. Sometimes takes 5 or 6 presses to open. As you said the finger prints really dont show up unless you happen to be at a certain angle to the sun. Once your used to the touch screen and haptic buttons they are pretty easy. The performance is amazing for such a big car and the economy really good. I love it in electric but then when i want to play I've got that V6. To me it does everything, its a family car, a daily commute and a toy.
As you said the ehybrid is a no brainer. For me it was 100% deductible against tax in the first year. Although our government have now changed that and reduced the C02 figure.
I couldn't find another car to compare it to and still can't.
I may be stuck with a Panamera and have to change it for another one. Its a hard life😂
Thank you!
Good afternoon Misha, I agree that there should be another spoiler option
Such an amazing and realistic review thank you🙏🏼
Great review Misha! I hope you get to test the Turbo-S Sport Turismo e-hybrid next, to compare with the "base" e-hybrid.
You mean the infamous Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Tourismo? What a name 😂
@@johnvega5321 It really is a mouthful, isn't it!
Just put my 10% down payment on a brand spanky new Panamera 4 e hybrid. cant wait for it arrival
Hey great video, thank you!
Although in my opinion you're being waaay too picky on that track changing. Once your media screen is up (which normally is anyways) you learn to push that "back button" without looking at it.
You also forgot the IR vision display, which I believe this car should have. Great feature for that type of car.
All in all, great "stationary" review, but I'd love to see the car in action even and especially on public roads. Thank you for your content!
Impressive turning radius! Great car! Great review👍
It is such a cool car. Also nice launch control
My 2018 Porsche Panamera is the best super sedan I have ever owned. Excellent comfort, quality and performance every single day.
Misha, there is just one car in my mind: The new Mercedes Benz AMG GT 53 AMG 4 door. I believe that's the closet competition to the Porsche Panamera Hybrid.
I understand your frustration in trying to get the charging hatch open - I was frustrated too when I got my 2018 Hybrid. It turns out that Porsche has a fix for it because some of the hatches just were difficult to operate. My dealer replaced the hatch and now it works fine.
Regarding not having an internal button to open the hatch like the gas filling hatch. At first I thought Porsche was being cheap by not having a button for both but now I understand why. When you refill the gas you are always driving up to the gas station and you are already inside the car and can easily press the button. However when I am in my garage I am often outside the car and want to open the hatch to plug it in, By just pressing on the hatch I can open it without first having to open the car door and then press an internal button. Of course, perhaps the best solution is to provide both and inside button and the ability to just press on the hatch.
Thanks for this great review!
Porsche and Entertainment System has never been a good combination!
I would def. buy it as a hybrid, if I had the money for it. This is the "future" and all those benefits are great ... plus i can imagine you safe a lot of fuel through sailing and stuff
Nice balanced real world review. I love the Panamera model. 👍🏻
You can easily remove that plastic knob from the ignition key and simply insert the key and Turn it to start the car if you really want to… check it out on UA-cam… it’s next to “how to open the charging port”! 😉. But TY for excellent review.
Misha, great video, I tried a Hybrid Panamera last week & I agree what a fab car, I'll be certainly considering it when I swap my 991.1 in a few years. A question for you, I see you have winter tyres on the car, could I ask who it performs in the snow??
Excellent vehicle! Very good video! I learned a lot. Smashing the thumbs up now!!
Waking up isn't fun for them but cold starts sound so good especially in the morning with the alive feeling.
Nothing against hybrids... my dream car is the Porsche 918 Spyder which also is a hybrid although the Carrera GT has way better sound with the wonderful sound
SPORTCARLUXURY I thought the same. Cold starts and being loud in a tunnel or garage is probably half the fun of owning a expensive car with a valve controlled exhaust. (Related to the use of the exhaust).
Agree on the absence of a back button for media tracks. Really annoys.
Key benefit of 971 hybrid over 970 is the ability to run the engine all the time if you want, and only use the hybrid drive when YOU want to, not only when the car allows as per 970.
My pipi stick does funny things when i see a sport turismo
hahahaha "Yeah Holland, I am looking at you". Indeed, very true my friend.
Great review Misha!! I need to get to the nurburgring over summer in my 6 series msport gran coupe as I reckon it might be quite fun!!
So, Manthey tuned Panamera E-H taxi for 2020? :D
I like hybrids, they just make sense. Far, far from convinced by pure electric yet unless you're doing a city commute.
Good grief, those over-engineered vents. Years in software have rammed home the joys of minimalist, direct solutions.
#fuckelectriccars
Great Review, how was the mileage? Full gas tank, fully charged? What was the range?
Agree, Class on its own. Really a bargain considering the amount of engineering that went into it.
Bargain or scary costly when something breaks?
Hmm, enjoyed your review style. I was put off at first, but the fact that you have watched other videos... That's interesting, + real life examples of fingerprints. Subbed :) Not a porsche fanoby or anything, btw, the rear steering is on all AUDIs now of this generation too, A7, A8
Such a depth review thumbs
Nice review Misha!
My beautiful wife just specd her Macan GTS with the burmster and in Ireland it is almost 7k. she really loves music and it is so important to her. While I just specd my panamera 4 ehybrid and I noticed the Porsche sports exhaust is standard on the GTS I am paying well over 3k for it. But I could and would not get it without it.
Maybe there should be more of driving clips overall great review!!
Great job brah!👍🏽
One big plus you didn't mention but I saw in the 24h shopping video: the big petrol tank!
I had a BMW 7 series hybrid as a rental recently and they only put a 40l tank in. Hugely annoying and inconvenient if you need to cover some mileage and the rental place gave it to you with an empty battery.
Ah, good point! I thought this type of cars would always have big tanks
I agree with you on holland part
Nice vid. Indeed, don’t know why there’s no real competition. I think EVs are not good enough for long travel so Hybrid is a great compromise.
Excellent review. I want one.
Love your content and vids . Keep it up Misha 👉💪👍✌
You convinced me Misha
Misha, for the gear lever you have to rest your hand on it on the top (where the leather is) and press the button with your middle finger. Not from the sides :D and I find it pretty intuitive.
Haha, tried it and feels weird
great review thank you !
Honestly, if I had the $ and bought a Panamera it would be the Turismo version, it's just way cooler.
i have the same car. My brake discs are done every 30k kilometres even though I use the hybrid mode quite a bit.. so nothing to save here unfortunately. Considering the track forward/backward button - yeah that's one issue that keeps annoying me ever since I bought it. Done almost 70k kilometres on it. And power-wise: I could actually use 100hp more.. next is probably the 4S e hybrid..
Toen je over de kleur begon en subtiel zei wist ik dat je het over ons Nederlanders had!! :)
I like it but touch screen instead of buttons makes me anxious.
I'd say the biggest bonus of a hybrid is that the electric motor gives you the instant off the line torque of an EV and it also fills in any torque gaps.
I would say the tax benefit. In some countries like Finland the co2 emission based car tax can be ridiculous on these type of fast cars, can be over 100k of just tax euros in the price.
My only concern with the hybrid system is the complexity that goes with it. Imagine trying to fix issues with this once the car is out of warranty...
You get 8 years warranty on the battery, should be enough!
Misha Charoudin Yeah that helps but it’s still only the battery that’s covered. I mean I imagine there’s a lot of added complexity to a hybrid system like this one compared to a standard fossil fuel car.
Not saying I wouldn’t get the hybrid, but I would be looking at extended warranty for sure.
Great video Misha!
Off topic question, have you consider telling Robert to invite Doug De Muro to review some of his cars such the bmw M4? It would be a crazy cool video!
Haven't :)
Best car I ever owned
The rear wheels on my Alfa Romeo 156 also rear steer, passively ( so turning radius is terrible).
It’s quite stable.
Good video

Hi
Sorry about the ”gold” to Sweden today on the stafett.😅
Good comment
Great review. Thanks.
"Im Looking at you Holland" Lol so true. Somehow everyone I hear talking about it hate that there is some beautiful white 2017 Mustang. because they're jealous I assume.
Great insights Misha
I think the Amg GT 53 4 doors would be also a great daily car. It's also a hybrid with more than 400 hp.
Mercedes amg has the amg gt that’s a competitive car but without the nice hybrid.
True!
great review. the guy sounds like he knows more than anyone, I'd hate to disagree with him on anything he'd put on a voice and face lol
Haha thanks!
По поводу расхода топлива, слабо верится на что она на трассе будет потреблять меньше 7.5 литров. Но это моё мнение, не пробовал, не заработал =) Но для такого автомобиля это уже достижение! Спасибо за ревьюшку.
That bit of holland shade at 6.28 was on point lol😂
Great review aswell!
17:34 That sound!! 😎
thumb up for the arizona iced tea
Maybe the button has a 2 click configuration no? to go to the previous track
Possible competitors: Volvo S90 (408hp hybrid, although more understatement and less sportiness). Same goes for the mentioned MB S560e. Also, not sure about Lexus Hybrids. And that's it! This is already a dying segment, as battery technology continues to evolve very rapidly. We will see 48V Hybrid systems everywhere very soon, but high voltage hybrids are going to disappear. After people from the performance divisions had their fun, of course.
Goed review, mooie foto's van Tom. Ik denk dat mensen die een Panamera rijden niet bij Ikea komen, dat doen om een of andere reden alleen UA-camrs.
And I am going to buy one
I love the car. Really cool daily (if you have the cash laying around for it).
No sedan is better than the Porsche Panamera. My 2018 is a dream super car I get to drive daily.
