Engineered body design.
The lightweight bodyshell construction,
made from super- high -strength steels,
stainless steel, magnesium and aluminium,
ensures a low overall weight. It also
produces a highly resilient passenger
cell that offers high levels of protection
in the event of an impact. The system of
longitudinal and transverse
members at
the front absorbs deformation
energ y and
disperses the forces, thereby minimising
deformation of the interior. In addition,
passive safet y is further enhanced by the
front axle aluminium subframe, which is
designed to deform in a defined manner.
A rigid bulkhead cross member reduces
deformation of the foot well in the event of an impact and provides improved
protection for the feet and legs. In a
minor collision, a system of easily
replaceable impact absorbers prevents
costly damage to the underlying
bodyshell.


Active bonnet system.
The active bonnet system is designed
with enhanced pedestrian safet y in mind.
The moment the sensors in the front
apron detect a collision, this pyrotech -
nically assisted system raises the rear
portion of the bonnet, which can help
to reduce the risk of injury.
Airbags and seat belt system.
All Panamera models are fit ted as
standard with full-size driver and front
passenger airbags. Depending on the
severit y and t ype of accident, they are
inflated in t wo stages. In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort
to the occupants.

As well as knee airbags for driver and
front passenger, the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP) is also fit ted
as standard. This comprises side airbags in the front
seats, curtain airbags along the entire
roof frame and the side windows from
the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and side
impact protection elements in the doors.
Side airbags in the rear compartment

are available as an option. Also featured
as standard are an energy absorbing
steering column, three - point seat belts
on all seats, belt height adjustment and
seat belt force limiters in the front, and
seat belt pretensioners front and rear.
A rollover sensor automatically activates
the curtain airbags and seat belt
pretensioners if the vehicle threatens

to overturn.

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 14-way power seats with
memory package (standard in the
Panamera Turbo) for driver and front passenger offer even more functionalit y.
In addition to featuring an electric
steering column adjustment facilit y, the
package includes electric four-way
lumbar support, electric seat squab
length adjustment and personal memory
settings for seat, steering wheel, PCM
and mirror positions.


The courtesy lights (LEDs in the exterior
mirrors) are a component of the driver
memory package and 14-way power
seats with memory package. ISOFIX
child seat mounting points are available
as an option for the front passenger
seat in conjunction with the deactivation
function for the passenger airbag.
Adaptive Sports seats.
The optional adaptive Sports seats have
firmer – yet still comfortable – upholster y
and provide even bet ter lateral support
thanks to the raised side bolsters on the
seat squab and backrest.

Featuring 18 -way electric adjustment,
the seats can be optimally adapted to
meet your needs in terms of seat height,
squab and backrest angle, squab length,
fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable. In addition,
the side bolsters on the seat squab and
backrest are independently adjustable
for added comfort over long distances or precision lateral support on winding
roads. Also included is the personal
memory for the driver and front
passenger seats (including lumbar
support), the steering wheel and the
