\nStarting in May, fans of the big four-door gran turismo from Porsche<\/a> will be able to opt for a more affordable and fuel efficient variant. The V6-powered Panamera<\/a> and all-wheel-drive Panamera 4 will debut on April 23 at the Beijing Motor Show<\/a> before going on sale worldwide a few weeks later. The new non-S and non-turbo variants are propelled by an updated 3.6-liter V6 engine that is also shared with the Cayenne<\/a> and various other vehicles within the sprawling Volkswagen Group. <\/p>\n

For the Panamera, and presumably the new Cayenne that debuts at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> in a couple of weeks, the V6 now produces 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. That’s a bump of 10 hp and 22 lb-ft from the V6 in the current Cayenne. All V6-powered Panameras get Porsche’s seven-speed PDK dual clutch gearbox with drive torque going to the rear axle or both axles in the case of the Panamera 4. Like V8-powered Panameras that have been on sale since last fall, the V6 versions also get automatic start-stop. EPA fuel economy numbers won’t be available until closer to the on-sale date in the U.S., but the German press release quotes a combined rating of 25.3 mile per gallon (U.S.) for the rear-drive model and 24.5 mpg for the all-wheel-drive model. U.S. numbers will probably be about 3-4 mpg lower thanks to the more conservative test procedure used by the EPA. <\/p>\n

In addition to lower operating costs, the V6 Panamera will also be less expensive to buy. The rear-drive model starts at $74,400 with the Panamera 4 carrying a base sticker of $78,900. <\/p>\n
