2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo

The Panamera is Porsche's large luxury hatchback, the one you cross-shop with the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series if you want a sportier feel. It drives smaller than it looks, with sharp steering and a chassis that stays flat through corners, so it feels more like a sports car than a big sedan. The air suspension soaks up rough pavement well, though the sportier trims ride firmer, which is the trade for their extra agility. The hatchback body gives you a big, easy-to-load cargo area, and the back seats fold down to swallow long items when you need them to. That 4.0L V8 makes 550 horsepower and 567 lb-ft of torque, getting to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, while the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive keep it planted in any weather, managing 21 mpg combined. With the Sport Chrono package, you get launch control and a sport exhaust that sharpens the V8's already potent character.
