2022 Porsche Panamera vs. 2022 Cadillac CTS

The 2022 Porsche Panamera and the 2022 Cadillac CTS are two of America's most popular luxury sedan models. Although they have a lot in common, there are also many differences between the two cars that make them unique. They both have a powerful engine and sporty exterior design, but how well do they perform? We'll take a closer look at these vehicles to see if one is better.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The Panamera is a car that looks like it's always just about to hit the gas pedal. The grill is large and imposing, with four big slats that extend out from the center like a set of fangs. The headlights are arched inward towards each other, creating an angry-looking face that says, "I'm gonna eat you!"

The CTS has been redesigned for 2022 and now features a more modern look inspired by other Cadillac models like the CT6. It has thin headlights that curve around their edges and meet up at the front fender in a sharp point shape (like Batman's ears). There's also less chrome on this model than there used to be; instead of all over its bodywork, it's concentrated mostly on the grille area.

• Interior Design

The interior design of the 2022 Porsche Panamera is minimalistic, but it has a sporty feel. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, while the optional panoramic sunroof adds an open feeling. It also has an 8-inch touchscreen that can be controlled by voice or touch.

The 2022 Cadillac CTS has its own style when it comes to interior design; it's modern yet retro at the same time. The dash looks like something you'd see in 1960s sci-fi films-but that doesn't mean there isn't ample storage space here as well! 

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Cadillac CTS comes standard with adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist. You can add to this by opting for the Driver Assist Package that brings in blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and side blind zone alert. Also available is a second-row infotainment screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and wireless charging for your smartphone.

Regarding safety features, both vehicles come standard with multiple airbags, including knee bolsters for driver and passenger front occupants and side curtain airbags for outboard passengers in all three rows of seats. Additionally, collision mitigation systems like automatic braking are available at a cost on each vehicle's trim levels but not included in the base price of either vehicle's highest trim level offering.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche Panamera is powered by a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 that produces 325 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. The 2022 Cadillac CTS uses a 2.0-liter V6 engine with 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

The 2022 Porsche Panamera's engine can propel it from zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, and its top speed is 176 mph. The 2022 Cadillac CTS can go from zero to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, and it has an electronically limited top speed of 149 mph when equipped with rear-wheel drive; that increases to 155 mph when AWD is added into the mix (in either model).

The Bottom Line

The Porsche Panamera is one of the most popular cars in its class. It is a luxury sedan that is sporty yet luxurious at the same time. The Cadillac CTS has taken its inspiration from other luxury sedans with similar aims; however, it has more options than most cars in its class.
