Should you buy one?

If you want a luxury car that you can enjoy driving, you’ll struggle to do better than a Porsche Panamera. It’s a car with an almost impossible-to-find skillset, and the changes made as part of this generation only keep it at the top of its game. 

If luxury is the outright priority, its more compact interior and sportier focus means it might not make such a great choice next to traditional luxury saloons.

Overall, the Panamera is able to stand out next to the Audi A7 and BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, while is a tough competitor for the Mercedes-AMG-GT 4-Door. We still need to try more hybrid versions of the new Panamera – and on UK soil – but this new Porsche Panamera appears to have perfected the formula.
