Porsche Panamera - best luxury cars

Is it a luxury car? The Porsche Panamera is certainly luxurious but it has the soul of the sports car

Best luxury cars - Porsche Panamera

It's just as driver-focused as before, so it's a pleasure to drive quickly, and it has performance by the bucketload, but the air-suspension can be switched to comfort mode at the press of a button to keep back-seat occupants comfortable and unruffled.

As before, there are standard and S models, rear and four-wheel drive is available, plus E-Hybrid, Diesel, Turbo and Turbo S models to choose from.
