2012 Porsche Panamera Hatchback

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 2012 Porsche Panamera is a luxury sport sedan powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Opting for Panamera S trim grants the driver a boost up to 400 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. For even more performance the Panamera Turbo (S) trim offers a 500 hp (550 hp) producing 4.8-liter V8 engine and the. New for 2012 is the Panamera S Hybrid trim which utilizes a 3.0-liter V6 hybrid engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission to produce 333 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque. The Panamera comes standard with RWD, but can be upgraded to AWD by opting for a Panamera 4 or Panamera 4S trim. Fuel mileage comes in at an EPA estimated 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway (hybrid fuel mileage can be expected to be higher) thanks to a standard 6-speed manual and optional 7-speed PDK transmission. Options include navigation, surround sound system, rear seat entertainment system, mobile phone connectivity, zonal climate control, automatic entry, and rear-view camera. Safety features are comprised of stability management, anti-lock braking, advanced airbag protection, and anti-theft protection. The Panamera is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Porsche Panamera Hatchback

The Panamera's front engine design may depart with traditional Porsche design, but its elongated shape provides comfortable seating for everyone--even for passengers over 6 feet tall. Its features up to 45 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. And, it wouldn't be a Porsche if it didn't out-handle and out-accelerate almost everything else on the road. A new-for-2012 hybrid brings together performance and green credibility and the Turbo S could be the most powerful station wagon available.

What's new for 2012?

The 2012 adds a new hybrid model to the lineup. It combines a 3.0L supercharged V6 engine and an electric motor to keep emissions low and fuel efficiency high.

Model Review

The Panamera fills the gap in Porsche's line between sports coupes and the Cayenne SUV, offering high speed touring for four in a comfortable and spacious package. It's especially wide at 76 inches, and its 195 inch length and 55.8 inch height make for plenty of interior space, and its rear hatch gives good access to its 15.7-cubic feet of storage space. Flop the seatbacks down, and there's room for 44.6 cubic feet of luggage.

Original Warranty Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months

Porsche Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
The Porsche Approved Certified Limited Warranty comprises two distinct limited warranty coverages. 1) The limited warranty covers up to 6 years or a cumulative 100,000 miles/160,000 kilometers, whichever comes first if the vehicle is still under the new car limited warranty. 2) The limited warranty covers 2 years from the date of sale, up to 50,000 miles/ 80,000 kilometers to a cumulative 100,000 miles/ 160,000 kilometers from the current mileage on the odometer at the time of purchase. The Porsche Approved Certified Pre-owned Limited Warranty offers full peace of mind. Porsche Cars NA will repair or replace with new or remanufactured part any factory installed part that is faulty in material or workmanship under normal use. This limited warranty covers all parts of the following components: Engine Fuel / Cooling system Power train / transmission Suspension / Steering Brake system Heating / Air conditioning Electrical Systems Body Comfort Electronics
Age/Mileage Eligibility	8 yrs from original service date/under 100k miles
Lease Term Certified	N/A
Point Inspection	A comprehensive checklist with over 111+ quality criteria is used for this purpose. This way you can rest assured that your pre-owned Porsche is in perfect condition, both mechanically and visually.
