## Why this model

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a blend of supercar performance, luxury, and genuine practicality in an estate body. It's incredibly well-built, offers a thrilling driving experience, and the Sport Turismo adds a touch more style and usable boot space compared to the standard Panamera. Buying a 2021 model means you're getting a car that's taken its biggest depreciation hit, offering incredible value for money compared to its new price.

## What you should pay

Based on current UK market data (February 2026), a 2021 Panamera 4S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo with around 40-50k miles typically sells for around £54,970. This represents a significant saving over its original new price, making it a smart buy if you're after a high-performance luxury car. Prices can vary by a few thousand pounds depending on specific options and condition, so be prepared to negotiate.

## Which trim to buy

The 4S E-Hybrid trim is the sweet spot for the Sport Turismo. It offers a fantastic balance of blistering performance (552 hp is no joke!), decent electric-only range for daily commutes, and all the luxury features you'd expect from a Porsche. It's significantly more powerful than the base 4 E-Hybrid but doesn't carry the much higher price tag or running costs of the full Turbo S E-Hybrid. You get a truly engaging drive without compromising too much on efficiency for a car of this calibre.

## What to check before you buy

- Air suspension failures (leaks, compressor)
- PDK transmission issues (rare but costly)
- Electronic glitches (infotainment, sensors)
- Rapid brake and tyre wear due to performance and weight

## Running costs

Running a Panamera, even a plug-in hybrid, isn't cheap. Fuel costs for the 4S E-Hybrid will vary wildly: if you charge regularly at home on a cheap overnight tariff like Octopus Go (around 7.5p/kWh), you could get 30-35 miles for about £1.30, making electric driving very economical (around 4.5p/mile). However, once the battery is depleted, you're looking at around 25-30 mpg on petrol, which at current prices (£1.50/litre) works out to about 27-30p/mile. Road tax for a 2021 model will be £570 for its fifth year (2026), then £180 annually from 2027 onwards. Insurance will be high, likely £1,000-£2,500+ depending on your profile. Servicing and maintenance at a Porsche specialist will also be premium, so budget £800-£1,500+ per year.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Plug-in Hybrid
- **Horsepower**: 552 hp
- **Mpg**: 80-100 mpg (combined WLTP, highly dependent on electric use)
- **Reliability Score**: Good, but complex systems can lead to expensive repairs
- **Safety Rating**: Expected high, based on Porsche's engineering standards and advanced safety features

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £54,970 | 100% |
| 2027 | £48,400 | 88% |
| 2028 | £43,600 | 79% |
| 2029 | £39,700 | 72% |
| 2030 | £36,500 | 66% |

Buying a 2021 Panamera Sport Turismo in 2026 means you're past the steepest part of its depreciation curve. Luxury cars, especially high-performance ones, lose a huge chunk of their value in the first few years. By buying at this age, you're letting the first owner take that hit, and while it will continue to depreciate, the rate will be much slower, making it a much more financially sensible purchase.

Total value lost since new: 33.6%.

## Alternatives to consider

- Audi RS6 Avant
- Mercedes-AMG E63 S Estate
- BMW M5 Touring
