2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Specs & Photos

When Porsche builds an AWD sedan, it's time to hit the snow. Our closer look at the 2014 Porsche Panamera 4S, including key specs & photos.

The 2014 Panamera comes with exceptional handling, top-class refinement, and gorgeous cabin quality that reinforce its status as one of the top sedans in its segment.  

The 2014 Porsche Panamera 4S sits above the GTS trim level in the range featuring a 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 gasoline engine pumping out 420 hp @ 6000 rpm and 384 lb-ft @ 1750 rpm of torque. The engine mates to Porsche’s 7-Speed Automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system. With the launch control, this huge power can take the luxury sedan from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The EPA-estimated range is 17 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. 

The standard amenities include a 7.0-inch touchscreen, multifunction steering wheel, a power liftgate, automatic climate control, the Porsche Communication Management system with navigation, a premium sound system, Porsche Active Suspension Management, a sunroof, etc.

What we like most about this Panamera is the level of comfort and space inside (this ain’t a 911, that’s for sure). The seats are incredibly supportive and very cozy, and you can adjust them in various ways. The two seats at the back are as comfortable and spacious as the front seats, with plenty of space for tall individuals. The only downside for the backseats is their low position, which is a little more confining than typical sedans. But that’s where the Panamera Sport Turismo introduced in 2017 comes in – a 5-seat, 550-hp 4-door Porsche saloon geared more for rear passengers.

The 2014 Panamera 4S isn’t only spacious for passengers, but it is also equally roomy for your luggage, with 15.7 cubic feet of boot space. The hatchback versatility adds an extra bit of room, allowing you to extend the space to 44.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. A drawback here is the narrow hatch that makes it a bit difficult to load heavy items.

On the safety front, the four-seat posh sedan comes equipped with antilock brakes, stability control, traction control, brake assist, front and rear side airbags, side curtain airbags, and front knee airbags. The rearview camera and blind-spot monitoring system are optional, and so is the adaptive cruise control with a forward collision mitigation system.
