I don't understand how people find this car ugly! It's the most beautiful car I've ever seen... period. If ever I buy a luxury car it would be either the Panamera which is cheaper, or the Ferrari FF, I just like the practicality of these cars, and I find them extremely beautiful!
Funny, people say they hate this car from Porsche. The truth is, before the Cayenne and this car, I would never consider buying a porsche because it was not practical enough for me, and if I had money to burn I would buy a Ferrari instead if I just wanted to drive myself and another person! These cars gave Porsche new customers that think like I do... I used to hate Porsches, now I love them!
Mat, do you get tired of hearing people say "excellent review'? Well get used to it mate... not only was the essence of the car captured, but the added length of this vid gave a further glimpse into your genuine, friendly personality. Keep it up!!
I spoke to a Lexus GS300 owner the other day who siad he gets around 16-20 mpg. The I saw on the Lexus forum that one guy got 44 mpg from the same 3 litre engine. The lesson is not this power or that power, but how you drive the thing. Drive it like you stole it, or drive it like you own it.
absolutely: According to the “Dust-to-Dust Automotive Energy Report” by CNW Research, the average energy cost per mile for the top ten hybrids is $3.65. The average for the industry is $2.95. ) The Prius, Civic, Accord, and Escape hybrids are $2.87, $3.40, $3.42, and $3.54, respectively. The Chevy volt is very high: $8.87. We can also look at the the energy cost of just mining lithium... its about 1200 $ per hybrid battery...
What's the relative environmental impact of mining lithium and battery shipping for 1 hybrid car vs the relative benefit of saved fuel? I don't believe that those relative impacts win over the lifetime of the car. Do you?
@KCLinde16 Yeah but i think he's near a porsche dealer or something. Cause when he stops and talks in the car, u can see a Cayenne ( I believe ) behind him. Then when he gets out of the car a Panamera like u've said.
The idiocy is that you didn't recognize that people who buy Panameras don't care about fuel bills. What some of them might care about though, is how much fuel they burn. Some people consider more ethical to drive more fuel efficient cars and that's the selling point of the hybrid.
The car is so much more comfortable than a Prius for one. It looks good, at least to me it does, so if you drive it slow maybe you and onlookers can appreciate the beauty of it a bit more...
even rich people need to save money, yes V8 is great and guy who buys it wont have any problems regarding to money but why not have a 375hp and nice fuel economy? this car is gold balance between performance and economy, Great Job Porsche! P.S very good review
Been really interested in this since I saw an advert for it in a car mag...really very interesting, shame it weighs 180 kilos more and has electric steering, but can't have it all I guess ! thumbs up porsche !
I don't really care about how much fuel it consumes or how much emission it releases. All I care is this car can easily be driven for 1000 miles without refuel. I don't think any other gasoline car can do it.
The EPA tests give better results for plugins. They rate this Porsche hybrid at 16 miles pure electric range (versus ~40 for Volt). In gasoline mode the car gets 29 MPG on the highway..... that's worse than many V6 cars .
they do actually, mining nickel alone is EXTREMELY dirty, in Canada, the US, Japan and Europe, we export our ore directly to other nations because the pollution is so high that its almost impossible to do efficiently here.. its not just the mining proces, its also the energy transfer needed to mine, the transportation (often back and forth half way around the world from china and back), refining and finally manufacturing... its not wrong to say its far dirtier to produce a hybrid than a gas car
Nice video but I think the journey should be done in the other direction and repeated 3 times. My V8 Cayenne will almost give me those numbers if i'm only doing a short partly downhill journey to the city for 9 miles.
The Mercedes s65 AMG, the one with a twin turbo v12, does less harm to the environment than a Toyota Prius in the long run. You need to change your way of thinking because hybrids are not the answer.
@FalafelSam It just seems completely redundant. It's seems like an excuse for Porsche to go "oh look we have a hybrid we're environmentally friendly" :p
I like the car and the presenter, but I've got tired of this type of conclusion. "If you want a XX thousand pounds car, you can afford the fuel bill, and you don't need to drive carefully". That's not the point! The point is that hybrids are more efficient, especially on heavy and powerful cars like this one.
41mpg is the average figure. he managed 43.5 so to get an average of 41 that means the fast driving should bring a 38.5 which is highly unlikely.save your Porsche money and go for the much better looking Jaguar XJ
@roleta301116 I hope you realize how badly the environment is polluted in the production of the batteries. All of the bug heavy machinery, and all of the acids emitted from the refining and mining they do for the batteries. And think of where the batteries end up when they don't work anymore. A V6 Hybrid will get better economy than a V8, but in the long run will do MUCH, MUCH worse environmental damage. Personally, I don't care about either. I'm just making a point.
TRADE IN VALUE ---good luck trying to sell the V8 model in a couple years..... unless you plan to keep it forever ..... (herein lies the advantage of small block/diesels/hybrids)
Ok, let´s face reality...a V8 is better than a V6 hybrid, but...what is more important to us, is our planet or our miserable way of thinking? Hybrid is a must!!! We must change our attitude..i think?
the idiocy of the hybrid craze could hardly be more dramatic... over here in north america, a standard porsche panamera v8 (non awd) will retail at about 75 000$ the hybrid model will more than topple 100 000 ... that's a 25 000$ difference ! now i'm sorry but 25 000$ is enough to purchase ALL THE FUEL to run this car at 30 000kms a year for 5-6 years... so... what's the point? nevermind the fact that mining the materials for the hybrid alone are more baneful to the environment anyways...
so how much you have to pay for insurance per month with a 86k hybrid..... why not buy a cayman and buy a prius so you can make other horn and blow others away
Porsche did not pro in hybrid engine. They 've got many choice for engine v6 - v8 for u to choose. V8 more power. V6 for least power. Hybrid is just for small car under 2.0 litre. Drive slow - saving petrol with quite sound for lady. Can you image if Harley Davidson 's sound is quite, or Ferrari - Porsche - Mc Laren... They loved the sounds and more power. The fuel (not diesel) spend all space in the booth... WTF... how we 've got space for electric motor.. In world... you liked hybrid... i can state who you are: old guy and scare the traffic or madam as my mom or ladies.... Super for the one who loved the power, sounds, strong car.... with performance. no need to think green car or how much of the fuel bill. There are 2 kinds customer... And lady... go for sleep.
I don't understand how people find this car ugly! It's the most beautiful car I've ever seen... period. If ever I buy a luxury car it would be either the Panamera which is cheaper, or the Ferrari FF, I just like the practicality of these cars, and I find them extremely beautiful!
Wow 5 years, and the new Panamera e-Hybrid is even more special without needing to drive so carefully. Amazing how things change so quickly.
Funny, people say they hate this car from Porsche. The truth is, before the Cayenne and this car, I would never consider buying a porsche because it was not practical enough for me, and if I had money to burn I would buy a Ferrari instead if I just wanted to drive myself and another person! These cars gave Porsche new customers that think like I do... I used to hate Porsches, now I love them!
I am getting this car for myself for my birthday it's such a sweet ride
Mat, do you get tired of hearing people say "excellent review'? Well get used to it mate... not only was the essence of the car captured, but the added length of this vid gave a further glimpse into your genuine, friendly personality. Keep it up!!
I srsly love the presentator, really good job you're doing. :)
Mat Watson from car wow??
What is that music at 3:24. Its pretty fun sounding in a traffic jam
I spoke to a Lexus GS300 owner the other day who siad he gets around 16-20 mpg. The I saw on the Lexus forum that one guy got 44 mpg from the same 3 litre engine. The lesson is not this power or that power, but how you drive the thing. Drive it like you stole it, or drive it like you own it.
Looks like the Porsche pilot missed the runway at the end though
The real question is what the mileage would be if you drove the Porsche as one should drive a Porsche?

All fuel consumption tests are made with speed of 50 mph ( 80 kmh ) and you probably was going slower than 50 mph, thats why u did more mpgs
When did you start wearing glasses, Mat?
Thats the guy from car wow😮
If Porsche brought out a 911 Targa Hybrid I'd be interested. My favourite looking 911 with some decent fuel economy!
@Osmosium2507 which means extra weight alot of extra weight from the batteries.
@bambuskola
Do you know the 918 hybrid? an extra engine means extra power :D
What's the relative environmental impact of mining lithium and battery shipping for 1 hybrid car vs the relative benefit of saved fuel? I don't believe that those relative impacts win over the lifetime of the car. Do you?

how many liters is a gallon?
Hello Autoexpress . Where did you film the video ? Thanks.
Great and we need and wish videos in Real Best 4K 60fps HDR resolution clarity quality soon please and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround,
The car is so much more comfortable than a Prius for one. It looks good, at least to me it does, so if you drive it slow maybe you and onlookers can appreciate the beauty of it a bit more...
Remind me, what exactly is the point of the electric motor?
even rich people need to save money, yes V8 is great and guy who buys it wont have any problems regarding to money but why not have a 375hp and nice fuel economy? this car is gold balance between performance and economy, Great Job Porsche!
P.S very good review

Do you have the numbers?
great review!!
Glasses?
The EPA tests give better results for plugins. They rate this Porsche hybrid at 16 miles pure electric range (versus ~40 for Volt). In gasoline mode the car gets 29 MPG on the highway..... that's worse than many V6 cars
.
i wanted to see the performance of the car
@MrZeko3rs Me too, very honest review.
good review
seems like people stil are dont understand that you never need 2 liters motor, because it is not alowet to drive faster then 90-100 km anyway
It can only do 1.25 miles max with the electric engine, you can see in the trip computer he did 15.5 miles, so of course the petrol engine cut in.
im not a porsche fan and i never think the panamera is a gd looking car...but i'll still take it
they do actually, mining nickel alone is EXTREMELY dirty, in Canada, the US, Japan and Europe, we export our ore directly to other nations because the pollution is so high that its almost impossible to do efficiently here.. its not just the mining proces, its also the energy transfer needed to mine, the transportation (often back and forth half way around the world from china and back), refining and finally manufacturing... its not wrong to say its far dirtier to produce a hybrid than a gas car
Great test review! But use lenses next time ;-)
5:01 ohh thats my brother!
hi brother!!!!!
Nice video but I think the journey should be done in the other direction and repeated 3 times. My V8 Cayenne will almost give me those numbers if i'm only doing a short partly downhill journey to the city for 9 miles.
i like this guy... he is really good!
Trust me it looks a lot better in person
:@ Oh god it's him again. I really wanted to watch this review as well -.-
Well bmws hybrid 5 series is a second faster to 60
Finally some hybrid in which man can feal like man
Go porsche! Way to make a sporty hybrid :)
The Mercedes s65 AMG, the one with a twin turbo v12, does less harm to the environment than a Toyota Prius in the long run. You need to change your way of thinking because hybrids are not the answer.
A Fossil Fuel car if driven properly can save more fuel than a prius - See TG :D
omg.... Matt's wearing glasses! Glasses!!!!!

What is the point of buying a Porsche and driving it sedately?
@sspope yeah but Audi body and interior on a Porsche? Yes please :)
2020
Jamie Corstorphine, Chris Harris and Mat Watson are the best
this car can easily be improved by switching to a lighter lithium battery. they're just waiting for the price of lithium cells to go down.
would love to check its fuel economy with (ahem) NORMAL driving
41mpg is the average figure. he managed 43.5 so to get an average of 41 that means the fast driving should bring a 38.5 which is highly unlikely.save your Porsche money and go for the much better looking Jaguar XJ

Matt Watson !!
Yeah...I think he told us in a car buyer video that he also wears contact lenses
TRADE IN VALUE ---good luck trying to sell the V8 model in a couple years..... unless you plan to keep it forever ..... (herein lies the advantage of small block/diesels/hybrids)
Ok, let´s face reality...a V8 is better than a V6 hybrid, but...what is more important to us, is our planet or our miserable way of thinking?
Hybrid is a must!!!
We must change our attitude..i think?
jolly good
@sheps999 I think its for people who want the porshe badge but could care less about the power
posers, really
I am not sure if we will live upto the age when Oil will be over lol
Good presenter =D
Haha Mat with glasses XD
lol, some say its better to control pollution at the sources than at everyone's tailpipes.
yeah cause battery acid is great for the environment!
the idiocy of the hybrid craze could hardly be more dramatic... over here in north america, a standard porsche panamera v8 (non awd) will retail at about 75 000$ the hybrid model will more than topple 100 000 ... that's a 25 000$ difference ! now i'm sorry but 25 000$ is enough to purchase ALL THE FUEL to run this car at 30 000kms a year for 5-6 years... so... what's the point? nevermind the fact that mining the materials for the hybrid alone are more baneful to the environment anyways...
2 people bought this car and now regretted
so how much you have to pay for insurance per month with a 86k hybrid.....
why not buy a cayman and buy a prius so you can make other horn and blow others away
the looks are growing on me. profile is still awkward but its ok
you pay 60.000 for car sure you can efford v8 petrol
@shobin05 Well, the panamera is a bit ugly, but i never get bored when i look at it
3:21 fucking hell i do the same thing in my car when im stuck in the traffic .... hahahahhha
Fresh faced Matt Watson!!! Wow
Porsche is Porsche...what else?
You are much more handsome without glasses.
A hybrid is more economical, maybe Then "good" for the environment.
Porsche did not pro in hybrid engine.
They 've got many choice for engine v6 - v8 for u to choose.
V8 more power. V6 for least power.
Hybrid is just for small car under 2.0 litre. Drive slow - saving petrol with quite sound for lady.
Can you image if Harley Davidson 's sound is quite, or Ferrari - Porsche - Mc Laren... They loved the sounds and more power.
The fuel (not diesel) spend all space in the booth...
WTF... how we 've got space for electric motor..
In world... you liked hybrid... i can state who you are: old guy and scare the traffic or madam as my mom or ladies....
Super for the one who loved the power, sounds, strong car.... with performance.
no need to think green car or how much of the fuel bill.
There are 2 kinds customer...
And lady... go for sleep.
wait, I thought Im watching Carbuyer
Haha this guy is awesome! :D
I want this for my birthday :-( if only i was rich
Cheerio ole chap cheerio
i'll rather have an sls electric wujuu
No. if you are gonna pay over 90 grand, I wouldnt care for a hybrid
come on! you don't buy a porsche to drive that slow!
@roleta301116 lol? just let me drive my Porsche Turbo S ;D$
I don't want Audi engine and Audi steering in my Porsche. That's all.
JUST BUY THE DIESEL MODEL
Hybrid sucks,....there is no match for Petrol. And i am proud to burn Petrol
Tesla Model S
Glasses?
