While the first generation of the 4-door Porsche suffered in the beginning for lots of criticism, its successor showed no mercy on the detractors.

The idea of a 4-door Porsche sedan wasn't new. There were some try-outs in the late '80s with the 989 concept-car that was based on a stretched platform of a 911. But the real deal was shown in 2009 with a front-engine and rear or all-wheel-drive. Its design was not that good, but the car's handling was convincing.

2016 started right with an already established name on the market and the look was way better. The rear end was looking sort of a 911, but better. The designers tried to build a short hood and moved a part of the engine under the windshield area. The headlights were very similar to those on the 911 and the car had great success.

Inside, the touch-screen mania caught well and some buttons from the center console and from the dashboard disappeared. A 12.3" touch-screen infotainment unit found its way onto the dashboard. It was nicely integrated but without an Android Auto connection. The Porsche marketing department said that its users are mostly iPhone users, so they matched it only with Apple CarPlay. The Android phone users had to download a special Porsche app that could work with the unit. The dashboard featured an analog tachometer in the middle, a tribute to the Porsche 356. On the sides, two 7" TFT screens could show various information about the car, bord-computer, navigation, etc.

The Panamera was available with a choice of engines, with rear or all-wheel-drive. The adaptive suspension and the carbon-ceramic brakes also were on the options list.
