Porsche Australia has today announced the pricing of two new entry model Porsche Panameras expected to arrive in Australia in  July.

The V6 engined Panamera and Panamera 4 will bring the starting price of the Panamera range to just $193,000 for the rear-drive Panamera. If all-wheel drive is required the Panamera 4 (from $204,400) will easily do the job.

Porsche says both models will deliver fuel economy figures of below 10L/100km from the 3.6-litre engines. Power is rated at 220 kW and torque come in at 400 Nm.

The Porsche built engine is coupled to German company’s well known seven-speed PDK double-clutch gearbox.

“This V6 has been designed by Porsche specifically for the Panamera,” says Porsche Cars Australia Managing Director Michael Winkler. “It has the power and refinement our customers expect, yet at the same time delivers excellent fuel economy and low CO2 emissions.”

Along with low fuel usage the V6 powered Panamera rear-wheel drive is returning CO2 emission ratings of just 213 g/km while  the Panamera 4 manages 220 g/km.

The two entry model Porsche Panamera and Panamera 4 make a total of five variants of the Panamera range in Australia.
