I think plenty of people are concerned about km/l, that’s one of the considerations I’ve always made when looking at cars. I like refuelling as little as possible, hence the reason why I would prefer a range of at least 800km before I buy a BEV family car.

Fuel consumption and range are the same thing. A car can have excellent fuel consumption but only a 45L tank or average fuel consumption but a very big tank.

At the point of buying, how many consumers know whether they car has a 300 or 600 mile range?

 

[DjordjeC63]

They will have to know id they buy electric car. You cant fill it in 5 minutes.

 

[boyko23]

Very soon, EV's will have around 600km range. Which is absolutely ok.

Looking sharp-even with the more basic rims.

Of course, this begs the question: What will be the fate of the Panamera ?:


History has displayed that Porsche has shown little inhibition regarding the discontinuation of higher unit volume model lines without direct successors (914, 928, 924/944/968).

Interesting question. I'd say that when the time comes to go fully electric, Porsche will keep the nameplate that has the better market cache and demand.

I assume that Porsche considers the Taycan a transition step for the brand to get the customers to recognize the capabilities of a fully electric vehicle in order to accept and embrace it. The Panamera has just celebrated its 10 year anniversay, so we can say that it has a stronger market following. I don't know if Porsche will go electric only by the time the next generation Panamera, as the current generation has about 4 market years left (judging by the 7 year life cycle) but if they do, then the Taycan will be irrelevant at that point.

But maybe the Taycan will be more in demand compared to the Panamera on the long run, Porsche may consider keeping the nameplate.

I'm not a Porsche expert, but there are several possibilities for this question, I guess...

Looks like next year we will see the Taycan as Sport Turismo

You just said why they're not the same thing.

Indeed, keeping the "Panamera" nameplate is quite a plausible scenario due to its' established cachet. Whether a series III Panamera will retain its' 4 door liftback sedoupe format remains the subject of speculation. Only its' VAG PPE premium electric platform-based underpinnings appear to be a given, with at least 2 (perhaps 3) PPE applications having been earmarked for the Porsche brand. There have been innuendos that a "large crossover vehicle" (I have no idea as to just what sort of "crossover" that may be) is in the earlier stages of development. Reoccurring rumors of a "spiritual successor" to the 928 indicate that a large PPE-based 2 door, 2+2 GT (coupe + cabriolet) may have a place in Porsches' product plans. Perhaps it could carry the "Panamera" nomenclature. On the other hand, perhaps we will "just" eventually see 2 door, J1 platform-based Taycan derivatives. The likelihood of a series III Panamera appearing as a larger-than-the-Taycan, luxury fully electric sedan/sedoupe would seem (to me) somewhat more remote. With the Taycan already being a large car available in sedoupe (and soon Sport Turismo) form, and both Audi (with an electric A8 successor aka "eTron 8 or 9") and Bentley (quite likely a large, over 5m long electric sedoupe) firmly placed as future PPE recipients, I'd question the wisdom of that particular configuration for Porsche.

Without disrespect, but the Panamera is just as new. One generation older than the Taycan, so who cares? The Golf and ID3 is a completely different story, and so is the i4 and 3er. Golf and 3er are bound to become BEV, and then what?

As you already know, the series I (970) Panamera was introduced over 10 years ago. Taking more common model cycles into consideration (currently approx. 7 years), the current series II (971) Panamera could be retired in 2023. Hence, a nameplate of a model line that has existed for some 14+ years.

I think the current generation Panamera, just like the Macan will have a lifecycle longer than 7 months and be sold for an additional 2-3 years until they are considerably outsold by the Tycan and electric Macan.

Jimmy, looks like Audi has a surprise electric model coming out soon. Looks like an A7-size E-Tron 4-door coupe. It would be on the news soon

So a new car. Many new cars, models, names and ideas have come since then. Panamera is just one of them, and nothing is iconic about that car. Just another new 21st century marketing idea.

Yes-the speculation regarding this autombile (Audis' first PPE-based model) began approx. 12 months ago.A fully-electric Sportback sedoupe positioned somewhere between the A5 Sportback and A6 in size. Perhaps we shall see a concept car presented sometime next year.

*Post scriptum: The first official teaser photos and illustrations are appearing in todays' automotive press. It looks very sleek under the tarp.

"Iconic" would indeed be a bit of a stretch. Suffice to say that the series I Panamera was one of the most "visually challenging" current millenium cars so far. I'm stating this diplomatically.
