The 2021 Porsche Panamera starts at $88,550, and its prices stay the same, excluding the addition of the new Turbo S and 4S E-Hybrid models.
The 620-hp Turbo S, which replaces the 2020 Panamera Turbo, starts at $179,050, and the new 4S E-Hybrid starts at $114,650.

Porsche has replaced the 2020 Panamera’s Turbo model with a more powerful Turbo S for the 2021 model year and added a new 4S E-Hybrid model as well. The rest of the Panamera lineup’s prices are unchanged, starting at $88,550 for the base model. Even the Panamera GTS ($130,650), which produces 20 more horsepower from its turbocharged V-8, sees no price increase. However, the base Panamera is still more expensive than other luxury sedans such as the Audi A7, BMW 8-series Gran Coupe, and Mercedes-Benz CLS-class.

The 4S can now be had as a plug-in E-Hybrid, which, along with the rest of the E-Hybrid lineup (Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and Turbo S E-Hybrid), gets a larger 17.9-kWh battery pack, up 3.8 kWh from the previous models. The new 4S E-Hybrid starts at $114,650 and is powered by a twin-turbo V-6 in conjunction with an electric motor and the new battery pack and makes 552 horsepower. It’s also available as longer-wheelbase Executive ($125,950) and Sport Turismo wagon ($118,650) models, like other Panameras excluding the base model and the GTS, which only has standard and Sport Turismo offerings.

For the 2021 model year, Porsche dropped the 550-hp Panamera Turbo model in favor of a new, more powerful Turbo S. It starts at $179,050—$24,700 more than the 2020 Panamera Turbo—and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that produces 620 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque. Porsche claims that it’ll reach 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. The new Turbo S is also available as Executive ($189,450) and Sport Turismo ($183,050) models.
Porsche has also given the 2021 Panamera a few small visual changes as well including a slightly sportier front end, a full-width LED strip on the taillights, and some new wheels. In addition, wireless Apple CarPlay capability and wireless phone charging are standard on all 2021 Panameras.

Ford will spend about $610 million to recall three million vehicles and replace their driver’s-side airbags after NHTSA ruled it must, Reuters reported.
The problem is the danger that Takata inflators in the airbags could degrade, possibly leading to airbag rupture that could propel metal pieces throughout the vehicle.
The recall will include 2006 through 2012 models of the Ford Edge, Fusion, and Ranger; the Lincoln MKX and MKZ/Zephyr; and the Mercury Milan, as well as about 5800 2007–2009 Mazda B-series pickups.
UPDATE, 1/22/2021: A Ford spokesperson told Car and Driver that the automaker is “working on the recall details and will submit to NHTSA a proposed schedule for the notification of vehicle owners and the launch of a remedy.” Responding to a question about why Ford had earlier disputed the need to issue this recall, the spokesperson explained: “Unlike other Takata passenger-side airbag parts previously under recall, these driver-side airbags contain a moisture-absorbing desiccant and perform differently. We believe our extensive data demonstrated that a safety recall was not warranted for the driver-side airbag. However, we respect NHTSA’s decision and will issue a recall.”
The long-lasting and worldwide problem of defective Takata airbag inflators continues. Ford has just been ordered to recall three million vehicles that contain them. The inflators are in driver’s-side airbags and could rupture, risking metal fragments being propelled throughout the interior of the vehicles.

The vehicles involved are the 2007–2011 Ford Ranger, 2006–2011 Mercury Milan, 2006–2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ/Zephyr, the 2007–2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, and the 2007–2009 Mazda B-series pickup.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) earlier this week ordered the automakers to carry out the recall after it rejected a petition from Ford and Mazda to be excused from doing so. Ford and Mazda now have 30 days to make recall plans.
In November, NHTSA also required General Motors to recall nearly six million vehicles over problems with the Takata airbag inflators.
Owners of vehicles that may be affected should check the NHTSA recalls website, which does not yet have details but will soon.
