When it made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2009, many were critical of the Porsche Panamera's looks.

It continues to have its detractors, but most have come to realize just how impressive the Panamera is in terms of performance, luxury, and utility.

Soon, Porsche's only sedan will be getting a mid-cycle update, and these are the latest spy shots of the changes.

First and foremost you'll notice that the changes aren't dramatic.

Instead, Porsche will massage the front end, tweaking the lighting and intake scoops, as well as gently reshaping the front bumper. The latest shots also reveal that several changes will take place at the rear, with heavy camouflage hiding what's likely to be a new bumper.

One distinct new feature is the LED detailing in the headlights, which possibly could be full LED units. We can clearly see four main diodes, which are then surrounded by a ring of smaller units that result in a look similar to BMW’s Angel Eyes design.

We don't expect to see any upgrades to performance or power output, but it's always possible with Porsche, particularly with the turbo models.
