In terms of brand influence, Porsche is stronger than BBA, so consumers who want to buy Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8 will inevitably have to compare with Porsche Palmera in their hearts, from the terminal price, Porsche Palmera and Mercedes-Benz S-Class are similar in price, they are one more business, one is more sports, although the price is similar, but it is not a direct competitor. In general, young people are more likely to choose Porsche Paramela, and younger and older consumers are more likely to choose Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The current Porsche Paramela has been on the market in 2016 for 6 years now, although it has undergone a small overhaul in the middle, but with the development of new technologies with each passing day, competitiveness has dropped significantly, and it is imperative to launch a new replacement model.
A few days ago, foreign media exposed the new Porsche Paramela road test spy photos, basically can confirm that this is a new third-generation model, according to Porsche's product update time, it is expected that the new car will be officially unveiled in 2024. Through the road test spy photos, it can be seen that the new car is still a big change in appearance, this change is mainly reflected in the front face part, the front surrounded by the grille and heat dissipation area are larger than the current model, the visual effect is more concise and sharp. The LED daytime lights on both sides have also become a single style, and the shape of the headlight group has also undergone some subtle changes in geometric shape, and the overall collocation is more aggressive and more fierce.
In the side part, the shape of the new car basically follows the design of the current model, and still adopts the "big slipback" design, and the style is still sporty. From the visual point of view, the front of the new car has become longer, and the wheelbase has also increased, which should be longer. Referring to the 5199*1937*1428mm length and width and 3100mm wheelbase of the current executive extended version of the model, I was curious about the body size of the extended version of the new car. The rear part of the car, the middle position of the tail light is camouflaged, should also use the through tail light, the bottom of the bilateral two exhaust pipes are also very moving, compared to the change of the front face, the change of the side and the rear of the car is not obvious.
In terms of power, it is expected that the new car will also use the 2.9T V6 engine and 4.0T V8 engine of the current model, the transmission system is an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission, and the medium and high-end models will also be equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system. Air suspension and variable suspension as well as variable steering ratio technology are also available on the standard model. There is no doubt that Porsche will still offer a wide range of optional packages for the third generation of Paramela. In addition to fuel models, new cars will also provide plug-in hybrid models, as for pure electric models, it is expected that Porsche will not "smash its own rice bowl", "oil to electricity" and there is no way out.
Porsche Taycan
Interior part, the interior design of the current Porsche Palmera has not been able to keep up with the pace of the development of the times, the car machine is not ahead, it is expected that the interior design of the new car will refer to the Porsche Taycan, the large screen will be upgraded from two to three, there will be a more technological car system and a more intelligent experience. In addition, the Porsche Paramela Turbo GT model was not exposed this time. That's all for this issue, for Porsche 3rd Generation Paramela, are you looking forward to it?
