140-Character Blurb

The 2026 Porsche Panamera is a multi-faceted large luxury sedan with many impressive talents.

Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

Buyers of a new Panamera have a choice of drivetrains ranging from a more-than-adequate 348 horsepower to a gargantuan 771 hp. They can zip from a standstill to 60 mph in five seconds (sweetly brisk) or 2.8 seconds — incredible for a large luxury car or virtually anything else on four wheels. The top Turbo S E-Hybrid also has a top speed of 202 mph. Another of our favorite large luxury sedans, the BMW 760i xDrive, gathers up its 536 horses to hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds.
An air suspension is standard, so the Panamera can do comfort as well as it does speed. The plug-in hybrids also offer a more sophisticated active suspension for a wider range of cushioning or connection. It keeps the car flat, eliminating body roll through fast corners, and prevents any pitching under heavy braking or hard acceleration. A rear-wheel steering system is another Panamera option, improving agility and maneuverability even further.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The base Panamera achieves 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. It’s the same figure with all-wheel drive (AWD). That’s a little thirstier than the Mercedes-Benz S 500 (24 mpg combined) and much thirstier than the base BMW 740i (28 mpg combined).
Porsche says the plug-in hybrid batteries are capable of being recharged in 2.5 hours.

Evolved Exterior

Exterior

With a design more evolutionary than revolutionary, this latest generation of Panamera will not shock any onlookers. That’s fine by us. We like how it evokes the famed 911 sports car. The headlights are different, with matrix-LED technology as standard. And we think the taillights are cool — forming an unbroken bar from one side to the other.
Unlike its conventional sedan competitors, the Panamera has a hatchback. That brings some cargo-carrying versatility while maintaining a sleek roof line.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Navigation systems 
Those in the hybrid models also take fuel efficiency into account when planning a route, which we think is quite ingenious.
Burmester audio 
Now with Dolby Atmos, this is one of the absolute best-sounding car systems we’ve ever heard.
Porsche Active Ride 
Although the Panamera has an air suspension as standard, this optional setup (standard with the top Turbo S E-Hybrid) has an electro-hydraulic pump for each damper, enabling the Panamera to reduce body movement to an even greater degree. It will also raise the ride height for easier entries and exits.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes 
A famous and famously expensive option in Porsche vehicles. They withstand all sorts of harsh treatment without fading, warping or wearing. A good thing to have when your luxury car can develop 771 horsepower and, fortunately, they’re standard with the Turbo S E-Hybrid.
Sport Chrono package 
Another well-known Porsche feature, this includes a stopwatch and a launch control mode for the automatic transmission. It’s standard in the GTS and E-Hybrids, optional in the two lower trims.
Assistance package 
This options bundle includes a head-up display, night vision, and a screen for the front passenger.

High-Quality Interior

Interior

Porsche keeps switchgear to a minimum in the 2026 Panamera. Various functions are accessible through the screens, and the car comes with a 12.6-inch digital driver information display as standard. An optional 10.9-inch screen for the front passenger is not visible for the driver.
The high center console gives a cockpit-like ambiance, underlining the company’s sporting heritage. Naturally for a luxury car, there’s also a cosseting side. Porsche says it has improved the quality of the Panamera’s seat foam (although we never felt the previous generation was lacking in this respect), and makes leather-free upholstery available. Other little touches include finless air vents that can be preset along with preferred climate settings.
Occupant space is perfectly reasonable for average-sized adults in both rows. The luggage area behind the rear seats measures an eminently useful 17.4 cubic feet. This expands to 46.9 cubic feet when those seats are folded down. The plug-in hybrid variants reduce these figures slightly.

KBB Editors' Overview

Admittedly, the Panamera starts quite expensive and finishes at a point where some people might be dabbing tears from their eyes. For buyers with more accommodating budgets, however, there’s a two-for-one deal happening here.
From the outside, looking in and looking on, the Panamera is a large luxury car. It’s prestigious, roomy, full of opulent touches, and packed with tech. From the driver’s seat, another car can emerge, one that has a direct line of descent from the awesome 911 sports car, the kind of thing at which <a href="http://www.kbb.com/porsche">Porsche</a> excels.
That’s not to say the Panamera has a firm and sporty ride — it can be as smooth as the driver and occupants want it to be. It’s more like an undertone of sportiness, a composure and precision that becomes more assertive when the driver goes off for a solo jaunt around some entertaining roads. It also feels reassuringly stable on the freeway.
Maybe you can’t always please everyone, but the Panamera makes a Herculean effort to please as many people as possible. Well, those who can afford it.

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

If rear-wheel drive (RWD) is acceptable, we have no qualms recommending the base Panamera, as it’s already well stocked with standard equipment. This approach might also leave room in the budget to add a few options, which tend to be expensive (we have a gift for understatement).
The other large flagship car with big driver appeal is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/7-series/">BMW 7 Series</a>, starting just over $100,000. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/">Mercedes-Benz S-Class</a> is still the king of this opulent hill and begins in the same kind of ballpark as the Panamera.
Before buying a new Panamera luxury car, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying.
<h3>Best-In-Class Resale Values</h3>
The Panamera retains its value better than any other large luxury car. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Trims

Under the Hood

The Panamera’s base engine is a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 making 348 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available as an option — then the car is called the Panamera 4.
The plug-in hybrid Panamera 4 E-Hybrid augments that turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 with an electric motor for a substantial total of 463 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid retains that setup while boosting output to 536 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque.
The Turbo S E-Hybrid brings in a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter to pair with an electric motor for a total of 670 hp and 685 lb-ft of torque. The same engine is in the range-topping Turbo S E-Hybrid, but this drivetrain generates a massive 771 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque. This output makes it the most powerful Panamera the company has produced.
The sporty Panamera GTS employs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that sends 493 hp and 486 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels.
Every Panamera has an 8-speed automatic transmission.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Porsche’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties last for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Roadside assistance is also included on the same terms. This coverage is typical for a luxury European marque. High-voltage batteries in the plug-in hybrid models are guaranteed for eight years or 100,000 miles. Porsche also offers a complimentary first service at 10,000 miles or one year.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
This generation of Panamera has not been crash-tested by any independent agencies, which is quite common among high-priced, low-volume vehicles. Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection (Warn and Brake Assist), plus blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (Lane Change Assist).

What's new for 2026

This year brings a few tech upgrades. The infotainment system has been tweaked for faster responses and now allows users to download third-party apps. Amazon Alexa can take on the duties of a voice assistant. Both optional audio systems from Bose and Burmester have been enhanced with Dolby Atmos technology for exceptional clarity.

The frugal Toyota Corolla Hybrid gets up to 50 combined mpg, is available with all-wheel drive, and has the lowest starting price of any new hybrid.

<ul>
<li>No hatchback option</li>
<li>Less pep than rivals</li>
</ul>

The Toyota Corolla Hybrid is powered by a 138-horsepower gas-electric hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with an electronically controlled continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. That’s notably less than the 200 hp of the Honda Civic Hybrid, a more entertaining option in this class.
In our experience, the Corolla Hybrid is an agreeable car to drive with easy manners. However, we’re not surprised about where this car’s priorities lie. The trade-off for its excellent fuel economy ratings is less power and torque than the non-hybrid version of the Corolla.
We also noticed the brakes can be a bit grabby, which isn’t uncommon among hybrids. If you’re already experienced with hybrids, you may not even notice. However, if you drive a Corolla Hybrid as your first hybrid, the brake feel may take some getting used to.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Toyota Corolla Hybrid gets up to 53 city/46 highway/50 combined mpg. Upgrading to all-wheel drive or the bigger wheels on the SE trim reduces these efficiency ratings a bit, but even the least efficient version of the Corolla Hybrid gets 44 combined mpg. For context, the most efficient version of the non-hybrid Corolla gets up to 35 combined mpg.
Comparing max combined fuel economy ratings, the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is a little more efficient, getting up to 54 mpg. The Toyota Prius is still the efficiency king of this class, getting up to 57 mpg, while the Honda Civic Hybrid returns up to 49 mpg.

Modern Exterior

The Toyota Corolla Hybrid has a subtle and stylish design that can vary a bit depending on the trim. For example, the SE model has a sportier appearance. We wish you could get the Corolla Hybrid with the hatchback body that’s available with the non-hybrid, but if you want a hybrid hatch from Toyota, you’ll have to get a Prius.

50 MPG 
The Toyota Corolla Hybrid uses an efficient and proven hybrid powertrain that’s good on gas, achieving an impressive combined fuel economy rating of up to 50 mpg.
Available All-Wheel Drive 
All-wheel drive is an uncommon option in this class. The Corolla Hybrid is the only variant of the Corolla with available all-wheel drive, an important feature for some buyers that’s not available on the Honda Civic Hybrid or Hyundai Elantra Hybrid.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
This updated suite of safety tech bundles many driver assistance features. It has full-speed adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, and more.
Toyota Audio Multimedia 
This user-friendly touchscreen is loaded with connectivity features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It’s easy to bring the maps, music, and more from your phone to the screen in your Corolla Hybrid. The lower trims come with an 8-inch touchscreen, while the top-end XLE grade has a 10.5-inch touchscreen (which is optional on the SE).
Sporty SE model 
The SE trim adds a sportier look to this efficient hybrid with 18-inch alloy wheels, a Sport drive mode, and sporty front and rear fascias.
Premium XLE trim 
The Toyota Corolla XLE is an upscale hybrid that retains an affordable price tag. Features include a power moonroof, SofTex heated front seats, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 10.5-inch touchscreen, and blind-spot monitoring.

Practical Interior

We’ve found the interior quality of the Corolla Hybrid to be pretty good for a compact car at this price point. The standard cloth seats are comfortable, and the XLE trim gets SofTex faux leather seating. As for the infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen (or 10.5-inch in the XLE), we love that it has standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a traditional volume knob.
We found the Corolla Hybrid&#8217;s rear seat legroom just okay at 34.8 inches. It also has a smallish trunk with only 13.1 cubic feet of space. The Hyundai Elantra Hybrid has 38 inches of rear legroom and a 14.2 cubic-foot trunk, while the Honda Civic Hybrid has 37.4 inches/14.8 cubic feet in the sedan and more cargo space in the hatchback.
For reference, the pricier and more efficient Toyota Prius has the same rear legroom as the Corolla Hybrid, but due to its hatchback design, the Prius has more cargo space and flexibility.

Practicality and efficiency are the calling cards of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla/">Toyota Corolla</a>, and those virtues are enhanced with its optional hybrid powertrain. The Corolla Hybrid delivers much of what we love about the regular Corolla sedan and adds a hybrid setup returning up to 50 mpg in mixed driving, plus the option of all-wheel drive. It also has great safety scores, strong resale value, and the lowest starting price of any new hybrid. These strengths add up to make the Toyota Corolla Hybrid simply one of the most sensible new car buying decisions the discerning shopper can make.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hybrid/best-hybrid-cars/">hybrid cars</a>, including the Toyota Corolla.

The 2026 Toyota Corolla Hybrid starts at $25,770 for the base LE trim. The mid-range SE model starts at $28,210, and the top XLE trim begins at $30,135. All-wheel drive is a $1,400 option on the LE and SE trims.

The Toyota Corolla Hybrid is the most affordable new hybrid car on the market, with pricing lower than that of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic-hybrid/">Honda Civic Hybrid</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra-hybrid/">Hyundai Elantra Hybrid</a>, and Toyota’s own <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/prius/">Prius</a>.
Before buying a Corolla Hybrid, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Toyota Corolla Hybrid resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Up to 50 combined mpg</li>
<li>Available all-wheel drive (AWD)</li>
<li>Most affordable hybrid</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Standard digital gauge cluster</li>
<li>Standard blind-spot monitoring</li>
</ul>

Engine and Transmission

The Toyota Corolla Hybrid’s gas-electric powertrain includes a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine and is rated at 138 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the front or all four wheels via an automatic transmission of the continuously variable variety. The Corolla Hybrid’s output is nearly the same as the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid’s and less than that of the Honda Civic Hybrid.
Those power and torque ratings are quite a bit lower than what you get with the non-hybrid Corolla. The argument for the hybrid over the regular Corolla is much better fuel economy, plus the all-wheel-drive option.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Toyota Corolla Hybrid is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Additionally, the hybrid components are covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> also throws in a 2-year/25,000-mile complimentary maintenance plan.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Toyota Corolla Hybrid has earned a 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). It also received the Top Safety Pick award for 2024 from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). On top of its good crash test ratings, the Corolla Hybrid is well-equipped with standard safety features like automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and much more.

The Corolla Hybrid gets some new standard features for 2026. A 7-inch digital gauge cluster and blind-spot monitoring both come standard, even on the base trim. The XLE trim gets a bigger 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster (which is optional on the SE).

The gas-powered Dodge Charger returns for the 2026 model year with two body styles, two outputs, and standard all-wheel drive.

Following a brief hiatus after the discontinuation of the previous generation of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/dodge/charger/2023/">Dodge Charger in 2023</a>, a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/report-dodge-speeding-gas-powered-charger-plan/">gas engine option has returned</a> to the Dodge Charger in 2026. After spending a couple of years exclusively available as the Charger Daytona EV (which we <a href="https://www.kbb.com/dodge/charger-daytona/">review separately</a>), a more affordable Charger with a 6-cylinder gas engine should have more mainstream appeal. Since it&#8217;s available in both 2-door coupe and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/dodge-debuts-4-door-charger/">4-door sedan</a> body styles, it effectively replaces both the Charger and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/dodge/challenger/">Challenger</a> of yore. All-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, two outputs are available, and it has interior space you can actually use, making this a practical muscle car.
<h3>On-Sale Date</h3>
We expect the gas-powered 2026 Dodge Charger to arrive in U.S. dealerships in early 2026. It will be offered alongside the Dodge Charger Daytona EV.
<h3>Engine and Transmission</h3>
The 2026 Dodge Charger is powered by the Hurricane 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine, available with a standard output and a high output. Although it doesn’t have the same sound or grit as the Hemi V8 options in the old Charger, we’ve been impressed with the Hurricane engine in <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ram/">Ram</a> trucks and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/">Jeep</a> SUVs.
The entry-level R/T trim produces 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque, while the high-output Scat Pack version makes 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque. Those are better performance specs than the old Charger R/T and Charger Scat Pack, respectively. All of the above use an 8-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard across the board. For a purer muscle car experience, the Charger has on-demand rear-wheel drive (RWD), bringing the tire-smoking fun.

2026 Dodge Charger Pricing

The 2026 Dodge Charger starts at $51,990 for the base R/T trim with the two-door coupe body. The high-performance Scat Pack begins at $56,990. The four-door sedan body is a $2,000 option for both trims.

</tbody>
</table>

If the pricing of the gas-powered Charger seems a little steep, it actually isn&#8217;t far off from the V8-powered 2023 Dodge Charger R/T, which had a lower output and no all-wheel drive option. Here&#8217;s hoping Dodge comes up with a milder and more affordable GT or SXT variant. In the small world of American muscle cars, the Charger is priced similarly to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang/">Ford Mustang</a> GT, which keeps the V8 faith.
Before buying a Charger, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Dodge Charger resale value historically varies, with higher-performance variants holding their value better than the more mainstream versions. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.
