The Panamera is the sports car for those who want to bring friends along for the ride.
Thrilling adaptive suspension · Powerful twin-turbo V6
Price can skyrocket quickly · Interior is noisier than expected
The 2026 Porsche Panamera is where luxury meets exhilaration in the sedan world. This car's heart is a twin-turbo V6 that churns out 348 horses, and it feels like you're unleashing a storm every time you press the throttle. What surprised us was the adaptive suspension—it's like having a personal road tailor, smoothing things out on city streets and stiffening up for those spirited drives through canyon roads. However, the price tag is hefty, and the interior noise could be better for a car of this class. If you're someone who craves Porsche's driving dynamics but needs more doors and seats, this is your ride.
Our pick: Panamera 4 E-Hybrid ($126,450)
vs. 2026 BMW 7 Series: While the BMW 7 Series offers a more traditional luxury experience with a smoother ride, the Panamera wins for those who prioritize driving excitement and cutting-edge technology.
