The second generation, the 971.1 Panamera 4S was introduced as a 2017 model year car, with the full suite of variants available right from the start. All models received a visual update and numerous improvements across the board. The sleek design of a four-door coupe, combined with refined exterior details, rewarded those who trusted and waited for Porsche. It resembled a stretched 911, but with the engine positioned in the front. One of the standout design elements was the standard 4-LED headlights, adding to the car's appeal. The 971.1 Panamera 4S came equipped with 19-inch light-alloy wheels and offered standard color options of black and white.
The infotainment system could be upgraded with either a Bose or a Burmester premium sound system for enhanced audio quality. Pairing with a smartphone was possible through a dedicated Porsche app, though Android Auto was not supported. The 971.1 Panamera 4S featured a twin-turbo V6 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic PDK (Porsche dual-clutch) transmission and all-wheel drive. The engine produced 434bhp at 5650 rpm and 406 ft-lbs of torque at 1750 rpm, enabling a 0-60 mph time of just 4.2 seconds and a top speed approaching 180 mph.
Porsche introduced the "Executive" models. These variants set new standards for space, ambience, and ride comfort. The wheelbase and passenger compartment were extended by 15cm, enhancing rear seat comfort significantly, as the body was extended behind the B-pillar. This design allowed for larger doors for easier entry and provided more legroom in front of the two rear bucket seats.
