2022 Porsche Panamera vs. Tesla Model S

For a plethora of reasons, today's 2022 Porsche Panamera may well be the best super luxury car available. With high-end generous seating space, a powerful engine set up, sporty exterior, and a luxurious interior, it runs rings around other automobiles. It's like they're not even trying!

The Tesla Model S does offer class-leading maximum driving range with a fun to drive nature that almost makes you dizzy. In a growing market, it provides desirable, compelling options.

Design & Style

Somewhat comparable to a Porsche 911, but with four doors, the sporty 2002 Panamera provides room for not only passengers but cargo like grocery bags, suitcases, etc. Choices include the Executive body styles, hatchback, and wagon. The stunningly modern look comes courtesy of soft touch leather and wood accents.

A certain amount of luxury is available in the Model S, but it isn't nearly as plush as a Lexus. It does provide a huge 26 cubic foot trunk under the rear lift gate, which is cleverly hidden by the sloped roof line. The large underfloor rear cargo area bin offsets the interior's shallow stowage. Few significant changes have been added to the interior and exterior since the changes that took place last year including a unique yoke style steering wheel.

Technology & Safety

The infotainment center for the 2022 Porsche Panamera is impressive to say the least with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and crisp graphics. Included are Apple CarPlay and Wi-Fi hotspot adaptability, HD radio, satellite radio, 10 speakers, and three USB ports in a sleek and modern set up. A rearview camera, rear and front parking sensors, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and roadside recognition are all included as standard driving aids.

You'll love the Model S cabin if you're a fan of modern minimalism. To control most of the vehicle's functions, the driver will use a giant infotainment screen that comes standard. For the rear seat, a small touchpad is provided as well as a secondary display for a cluster of gauges. Recent crash test results boost the safety credibility of this vehicle. Safety features that come standard include available adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automated emergency braking.

Performance

While several options are available where the engine for the 2022 Porsche Panamera is concerned, the Turbo S-E Hybrid has the most powerful engine at 689 hp. A twin turbo 325 hp V6 is the starting point for these engines. A V6 573 hp is offered in the case of the NXS.

Various models of the Tesla Model S vehicle do offer ferocious, outstanding acceleration. All versions feature full-time all-wheel drive. It will go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche Panamera is precisely what you would expect from Porsche - style, performance, high-tech, roomy, and luxurious. The Tesla Model S is a nice little car but it doesn't quite measure up.
