The base V-6 Panamera, for example, scores 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway in EPA testing. The Panamera S Hybrid is the best in terms of gas mileage in the lineup, at 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. The worst is the Panamera Turbo S at 15 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.
Taken in the context of the horsepower outputs of each (the base car makes 300 horsepower, the Hybrid 380 hp, and the Turbo S 550 hp) those figures are actually quite impressive--though, aside from the hybrid, none are likely to be applauded for their gas mileage.
Conclusion
The 2013 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid is surprisingly efficient for its performance and size, but most of the range won't be winning any green awards.
