Lightly refreshed for the 2021 model year, the Porsche Panamera sports a tweaked nose and rump, revamped infotainment, restyled steering wheel, and new powertrain options. At the heart of the entry-level Panamera is a new 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that's more efficient and modestly more torquey than the outgoing 3.0-liter unit, though down on total output. And while it's loaded with pricey options, this base Panamera affords an opportunity to evaluate the four-door coupe's dynamics, design, and interior quality relative to competitors.
Do the changes for 2021 warrant the Panamera's loftier price tag, or are you better off saving some cash and choosing the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, or Audi A7? Find out in this in-depth review.

    Personally having driven Audi’s, mercs and Ferrari real 4 seaters, I see why Porsche have so many fanboys. They’re phenomenal cars, to me they’re the best sports luxury manufacturer out there. Especially the sports tourismo.

    I’m honestly not offended by the plain jane looks on the outside with this spec, but I’ve always thought the 4S model is the perfect compromise between price and performance imo. And that stretch of road at the start of the driving portion between Newport and Laguna is probably my favorite in that area. Good job, man!

    This costs more than a 911 for a reason. This has a sporty 911 bloodline, but the luxury and comfort surpassing executive vehicles. Don't skimp out on options! I moved from a faster (4.2 0-60), but much larger, V8 Audi A8L to Porsche Panamera4. There's no comparison for driving dynamics, sound, feel. I added about $30K in options, to put it on par with my luxury vehicle. You feel like you're in a $130K vehicle, versus the $110K on Audi which was fantastic, but from the outside it was still an "A4". In contrast, these go to ~$250K+.

    Great video, I'm surprised I just found it since I've been looking for Panamera base videos for a while now and this is the best video. I like how you open and look at everything on the car and then run it through its paces in different modes. I test drove a turbo and a base and while the HP is fun, the light steering and sportier feel on the base did it for me. I couldn't find a used one I liked so I ordered a new base model optioned about the same as the one in the video but with 21" wheels and the sportier 18 way seats. Thanks!

    Wow. Just an effortless video. So smooth and easy to watch. You make it enjoyable. I generally hate Porsche, but a huge panamera and Taycan fan. The interior is second to none. I dont know why no one references the fact that the seat bottoms are an homage to 80s Ferraris. I forget which one. Might be the 308, but just magic. I'm in love with the seats and the interior. Mt favorite car is the 750Li, but this one takes the gold. Great video Mr. Miles!

    Great review! 👍 I’m glad you’re upon the reviewers that gets a hold of plenty of Porsche products. With your quality of reviewing, you’re definitely upon my favorite reviewers and KZread channels on the platform! As for the vehicle, the base is what I’d choose. They’re pure, lighter, and just enough power to toss around in. I’d probably choose the “911 Turbo” rims, and chrome silver window lines. The interior is beautiful though and contrasts lovely. Again, great review Miles! Never disappoints 💪👌

Tossing up between grey and the gentian blue as my order yet to be given a production date. Moving from a cls500 wagon which I would just replace if they still made them.

    There are no other options except the Audi A7 which isn't close to Porsche status, or build quality. BMWs are all boring and Mercedes has nothing that competes in looks at all - they're still slapping in ipads that look atrocious. Top speed of the base Panamera is 168mph. The race doesn't stop at 60mph. Get the 4S and best of both worlds.
