2023 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

The Panamera is Porsche's full-size luxury sedan, offered as a hatchback or wagon, and it's the one you pick when you need four doors but still want a sports car's feel. Every Panamera corners with a flat, planted confidence that makes long stretches of twisty road feel effortless, and the steering is precise enough to place the car exactly where you want it. The air suspension soaks up most bumps, though the ride is on the firm side in the sportier modes, which is the trade for how well it handles. Inside, the cabin is beautifully built with high-quality materials, and the hatchback body gives you a surprisingly large cargo area for a luxury sedan. Its 4.0L V8 plug-in hybrid pairs with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, launching the hatchback from a stop with brutal, immediate torque from the electric motor and a deep V8 surge as the revs climb. On a full charge you get 17 miles of range of silent, electric-only driving, which is enough for short commutes but means the real-world efficiency depends heavily on how often you plug in.
