2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive

The Panamera is Porsche's four-door grand tourer, a hatchback that blends sports car performance with everyday usability. It drives with the poise of a much smaller car, with sharp steering and a chassis that stays composed through quick corners. Inside, the dashboard is a simple, tapered T with a vast array of large buttons and switches, keeping controls easy to reach without digging through menus. The hatchback body gives it a surprisingly roomy cargo area, making it practical enough for weekend trips with luggage for four. Stepping up to the 4S Executive from the standard 4S adds a longer wheelbase and extra rear legroom, turning the Panamera into a proper limousine without losing its hatchback practicality. The 3.0L V6 makes 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, routed through seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which gives it strong passing power and planted traction in all weather. The Executive's extended body also comes with standard air suspension, so the ride stays supple even with the bigger back seat.
