The Panamera has been around since 2009 and has only one restyling under its belt, having been mildly reworked for 2013. That’s about to change for 2017 as Porsche is clearly working on its successor. Our spy photographers were able to snag several shots of the updated Panamera as it trotted over German roads wearing almost no camouflage.
The bare-bodied test mule affords us a rather unobstructed view at the Panamera’s future styling. Most of the changes are held within the front and rear fascias, as well as the side windows and character lines running along the doors. Its overall shape remains largely unchanged.
While Porsche is understandably shy with the details, rumors suggest a new set of powertrain options will be among the generational changes. The rumors, a year old at this point, speculate an all-new V-6 and V-8 powerplant will replace the aging engines in the current car.
We suspect the 2017 Panamera will make its official debut sometime in early 2016, possibly at the Geneva Motor Show. Pricing is likely to increase only slightly, keeping it competing against its current competitors.
