The Panamera is one of the most athletic luxury sedans available. It's also fairly practical thanks to its hatchback design. But there are also some downsides, such as a needlessly complicated user interface and high price.

Overview

The Swiss have their Army knife for a do-anything kind of tool, but the Germans have decidedly one-upped them with the Porsche Panamera. Available as a sleek wagon, a sporty hatchback-style sedan, or as a sedan with an extended wheelbase for extra rear legroom, the 2022 Panamera can do just about anything you ask of it. And on top of its multiple body styles, the Panamera offers several powertrains, including a V6, a hybrid and a turbocharged V8. Oh, and there are eight trim levels and a nearly limitless options list to choose from too.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Porsche Panamera 4 Sport Turismo 4dr Wagon AWD (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 8AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.32 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Panamera drive? Porsche proves that a large luxury sedan doesn't have to be barge-like or clumsy. The Porsche Panamera offers a masterful blend for those who want to still enjoy the drive as much as they desire comfort. The entry-level Panamera's 2.9-liter V6, which is what we tested, provides enough oomph to get to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. The brakes are equally powerful and hauled down our Panamera to a dead stop in a ridiculously short 102 feet. We'd be shocked if this were anything else other than a Porsche.

And it's not just straight-line performance that the Panamera does well. Steering response and accuracy are among the best in class, as is the way it moves around corners. The Panamera is always composed, sure-footed and nimble. The base model won't bend the laws of physics like the higher-performance spec models do, but there's more than enough athleticism to uphold Porsche's performance reputation. And when you're not out for thrills, the car just works the way you'd expect any luxury sedan to.

The only small criticism we'd add is a heavier-than-usual accelerator pedal. It's something you may adjust to over time even if we weren't able to after a week of driving.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the Panamera? Some luxury sedans do comfort better than the Panamera, but few can match its performance at the same time. Few concessions have been made in exchange for the impressive dynamic capability. The suspension impressively smooths out bumps in the road. Make sure to get the optional sport seats. The standard seats lack some adjustment and support during hard driving, even though they provide decent baseline comfort.

The climate control interface is fussier than it needs to be, with touchscreen-controlled vents that look cool but are less convenient than simple manually pointable vents. The system itself offers ample cooling capacity, and the heated seats and ventilation function effectively. As far as noise goes, there's an ever-present faint hum of road noise. However, wind and ambient noise on the highway is all but absent, and the engine is well muffled when you're just cruising.

Build & price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? This generation Panamera forgoes the glut of traditional buttons of its predecessor, but the touch-sensitive buttons that have replaced some of them aren't necessarily better. Some buttons take a few presses to work and can require you to take valuable attention away from the road. We like that there's still a touchscreen and appreciate the small dial control that provides some redundancy in how you control things.

There's plenty of space in the Panamera up front. There's less in back compared to the rest of the class unless you opt for the long-wheelbase model. The driver's seat and steering column have an excellent range of basic adjustments to accommodate drivers of almost all sizes. The view out of the back window is slightly obscured by the rear headrests, but surround-view camera coverage makes this a non-issue at parking lot speeds. Visibility out of the front is excellent.

Getting in and out of the Panamera is easy. The doors don't have traditional detents but will stay open in any position you want. They also close with ease. Our test car had the soft-close door option, which will even finish closing the door for you if it's not shut all the way.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The standard Bose sound system is good enough that you probably can save on the pricey audio upgrade. The sound is rich and clear, and we could crank the volume to our ears' content. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard, and the onboard nav system is one of the better systems if you're not using your phone.

The main screen is responsive and easy to control. We love the gauge cluster pod that can cue up a small navigation screen. But we're less impressed with the smartphone accommodations. Bluetooth took a little longer to connect in our testing than in other cars. We also found our test smartphone got hot in the wireless charger, which also failed to provide adequate charging power while our phone was in use. And there aren't many options for charging beyond that. Our test Panamera lacked standard USB ports for rear passengers, which is disappointing for a flagship luxury sedan.

Advanced driver aids are almost all optional in the Panamera, which is unusual for a luxury brand. When we've tested Porsche's aids, we found them to be mostly well tuned to avoid false alarms.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? The Panamera benefits from a hatchback trunk, but it doesn't reap as much of an advantage as that body style usually imparts. Cargo space is pretty generous on paper, with 17.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. But since the trunk is a bit shallow and has a higher liftover, it's not as convenient as it could be. The seatbacks can split and fold flat to allow for longer items, but since there's also no remote seatback releases to lower the seats from the hatch, you have to do so from the rear doors.

The Sport Turismo's cargo space is only marginally bigger, but its lower liftover height and upright hatch allow easier loading of bulky items. The door pockets, bins and glovebox are all on the small side, leaving you limited options for your personal items.

Car seat anchors are a little hard to locate — they're very deep within the slits in the seat. The top tethers for front-facing seats are fairly accessible, but the cargo cover in back has to be removed in order to route them through. The limited rear legroom will also limit the size of the seat that this car will accommodate unless you get the Executive long-wheelbase model.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates fuel economy for the rear-wheel-drive Panamera with the V6 at 20 mpg combined. This isn't all that great as the Panamera 4S, which makes much more power and has all-wheel drive, achieves the exact same rating.

On our evaluation route, which includes a fair amount of highway roads, we achieved a promising 24.6 mpg. At least this indicates to us that the Panamera should have no issue achieving its EPA estimates.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Panamera a good value? Porsche build quality is often top-notch, and the Panamera is fundamentally solid. However, some of the interior materials in our car fell a little short of what we'd expect in a $100,000-plus luxury performance sedan. For example, we thought the door materials and even the drive mode knob on the steering wheel felt a little cheap. You'll also end up paying more than the Panamera's base price since many desirable features are extra. This does not make the Panamera a bad choice, but it's not exactly a great value for the money either.

Porsche's warranty coverage is standard for the class with four years/50,000 miles of basic and powertrain coverage. Roadside assistance runs for the same duration.

Wildcard

8.5/10

The Porsche Panamera is much better than the average luxury sedan in terms of driving fun. Few cars can match the way the Panamera engages its driver. It also does the luxury thing pretty well. And with the latest redesign, the Panamera has more pleasing styling than earlier iterations. Sleek, sporty, modern, refined — the Panamera is a complete package.

Which Panamera does Edmunds recommend?

Since there are such a wide variety of configurations for the Panamera, it's difficult to recommend a particular trim or body style to fit everyone's needs. But as an all-arounder choice, we think the Panamera 4S will work out well. It offers upgraded performance over the standard model but the price remains reasonable for the class.

Porsche Panamera models

The 2022 Porsche Panamera comes in three body styles: the regular Panamera sedan, which actually has a hatchback-style trunk; a longer-wheelbase Executive model with additional rear seat legroom; and the Sport Turismo, which has a wagon-like profile and additional cargo space. There are also many trim levels available that are distinguished by different drivetrains and features, but not in every body style. These include the base Panamera, Panamera 4, Panamera 4S, Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, Panamera 4S E-Hybrid, Panamera GTS, Panamera Turbo S and Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.

Second air-conditioning system to cool the car while it's parked
14-speaker Bose audio system

Driver’s Comments

Acceleration:: It's a Porsche, so there was never a chance this was not going to be quick, but four seconds to 60 mph for a big, four-door plug-in hybrid is impressive. That of course was with launch control, as just mashing the gas, while quick, is about a second slower. Not only that, the car will hesitate for a second before giving you everything, so there's a delay in the pedal. Launch control removes that. It's simple, too. Put the car in Sport Plus with Sport stability control. Press and hold the brake, then press the gas until you see a notification. Release the brake and hold on. The Panamera will launch at 4,800 rpm, so the turbocharged engine is well within its power band. Sounds good, too. There's no hesitation, just a bit of squatting in the rear as the weight shifts backwards. Shifts are amazingly quick, and the paddles are responsive to use. This is a plug-in hybrid, so there is an all-electric mode. Best left for around town, as power really falls off at the top end. It took more than 13 seconds to hit 60 mph, and if you press the accelerator too far then the gas engine will kick on.
Braking:: Holy cow. The first bullet in my notebook is simply an expletive I shouldn't repeat here, but my feeling remains. The Panamera weights a little over 5,000 lbs, yet braking performance was as good as nearly any sports car on sale today. Under 110 feet would have been impressive, but 100 feet is an achievement. And it did it over and over and over. In fact, the final stop I performed was shorter than the first. A lot is down to the tire, as these Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires provide plenty of traction. Rather than getting too hot and not providing traction, summer tires like these tend to perform better once they warm up a bit. It shows. Tires aside, the Panamera feels solid under hard braking. There's a moderate amount of brake dive, but the car stops straight and true. No wiggle or shuffling. The pedal feels firm and solid, and I didn't notice any brake fade. The ABS seemed to be working harder on the final few runs, but it didn't affect performance.
Handling:: As with braking, it's amazing that a car this big and this heavy can pull a full g on the skidpad. That's not to say it's perfect. You definitely feel the weight, as the nose really wants to push at the limit. There's a lot of body roll, too, and the Panamera leans around the skidpad and in tight corners. But the steering is very responsive and offers great feedback, so you can feel when the tires are at their limit. There's so much stability from the rear that you can just lift off the gas to tuck the nose back in. The steering isn't as heavy as I expected given the car's size, but it was heavy enough to not feel sloppy. Switching to PSM Sport (sport-tuned stability control) can be helpful, but it cuts in enough that you get more traction with the system disabled.

Porsche Panamera vs. Audi RS 7

The Audi RS 7 should be one of the first alternatives to consider if you're looking for an adrenaline rush with four doors. Powered by a turbocharged V8 that puts out 591 horsepower, the RS 7 is astonishingly quick in a straight line. And much like the Panamera, it offers an excellent balance of performance and comfort.

Compare Porsche Panamera & Audi RS 7 features

Porsche Panamera vs. Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

It isn't quite the performance rival to the Panamera that the RS 7 is, but the AMG GT sedan offers a number of different configurations with several high-performance engines to choose from. The Mercedes is certainly desirable, but compared to the Panamera, it's a bit less practical, with less interior space and no choices when it comes to body style.

Compare Porsche Panamera & Mercedes-Benz AMG GT features

Porsche Panamera vs. BMW M5

Another high-performance driving choice in the luxury segment, the BMW M5 offers outstanding driving dynamics and loads of power from its 600-hp turbocharged V8. It's also priced around what Porsche asks for the Panamera 4S. But the M5's interior isn't as luxurious as the Panamera's, and BMW doesn't offer nearly as many customization options as Porsche does.
