Interior

The Panamera models feature an exquisite, clearly structured interior offering a high degree of comfort. Designed for driving pleasure and long journeys, for four occupants and their luggage. The concept may be unorthodox for a saloon, but it's typical of a Panamera.

You choose the colours and materials yourself. An extensive selection of interior colours, interior packages with various woods, aluminium or carbon, and many other personalisation options means that your decision certainly won't be an easy one. But the result will be all the more individual.

Thermally and noise-insulated glass can be fitted as an option, as can dark-tinted privacy glazing which will maintain your privacy and protect the interior from the effects of strong sunlight. Just like the electric roll-up sunblinds in the rear compartment and on the rear side windows.

Optional soft close doors are available for all Panamera models. A closing mechanism integrated in each door lock ensures comfortable and safe closing of all four doors.

Your first impression of the Panamera interior is the generous amount of comfort. The second impression is one of sporty lightness and excellent ergonomics. The five round instruments have an integrated 4.8-inch colour screen. The centre console ascends towards the front, shortening the reach between the steering wheel and the gear selector. All the important controls are arranged into logical groups to give you quick access to important functions without the need to browse through long sub-menus.

Seating Comfort

Front seats
The front seats with integrated headrests offer a high degree of comfort and hold your body firm during cornering, without restricting your freedom of movement. Seat adjustment is fully electric as standard, with controls on both the driver and front passenger sides for seat height, squab and backrest angle, and fore/aft position. A driver memory package, available as an option, enables the driver's seat and exterior mirror positions to be saved and restored automatically. Optional comfort memory package and adaptive Sports seats are available.

Rear seats
The rear compartment has two fully independent seats with plenty of leg- and headroom, even for taller passengers. They provide good lateral support, even during fast cornering, with no compromise on comfort. Between the seats is a folding armrest with a handy storage compartment. The backrests fold down individually with a ratio of 40:60 to increase storage capacity or to accommodate larger

Communications

Porsche Communication Management (PCM)
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is your control centre for audio, navigation and communication functions. The most important component is the 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen with graphical user interface. The radio has an FM twin tuner, while the DVD audio drive plays CDs and audio DVDs and is MP3-compatible. A six-disc CD/DVD autochanger integrated in PCM is available as an option. The optional universal audio interface (USB) allows you to store and play up to 5,000 MP3 files on the 40-GB internal hard drive.

The voice control system for PCM is at your command with support for word-by-word input. Voice control allows the cohesive input of destination addresses, phonebook entries or radio station names. You can also scroll through lists by voice control.

Telephone module and mobile phone preparation
The quadband GSM telephone module is available as an option for PCM and offers convenience and excellent reception. With a SIM card inserted directly into PCM's integral SIM card reader, calls can be made using either the hands-free facility or the cordless handset. Alternatively, the Bluetooth^® capability of a mobile phone can be used to make calls through the SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once automatic pairing is complete, the mobile phone's aerial is switched off to conserve battery charge and the phone operates via the car aerial.

Sound

BOSE^® Surround Sound-System
The BOSE^® Surround Sound System is compatible with Porsche Communication Management (PCM) as well as the CDR and CDR Plus audio systems. The system comprises nine amplifier channels.

In combination with PCM, the BOSE^® Surround Sound System enables audio playback of DVDs. Of course, you can still play other audio sources such as CDs and MP3s. The patented AudioPilot^® Noise Compensation Technology uses a microphone to continuously measure all the noises inside the vehicle and adapts music playback automatically so that a consistent sound is maintained – whatever the driving conditions and in real time.
