|The 2024 Panamera comes with more power, additional tech features and better design. Customer reception also looks good judging on comments. However, I expect deliveries of this model to fall by around 5,000 in 2024 due to transition to the next-generation. In 2025, I project deliveries to rise by around 10,000 units.
