The new Porsche Panamera and the new BMW 7 Series are two of the most impressive luxury sedans on the market. They have a similar price tag but offer different driving experiences. Let's see how these cars compare in performance, technology, and design!
Design & Style
- Exterior DesignÂ
The Porsche Panamera has a long and storied history, but it's never been one to avoid bold design choices. The 2023 model takes things further with some of the most daring stylings we've ever seen on a luxury sedan.
The BMW 7 Series is a little more conservative in its approach-but that doesn't mean you can't get some interesting options when you look at it closely!
The Panamera's front end features two large headlights and two smaller fog lights below them-a striking combination that makes this vehicle stand out from other sedans in its class. The 7 Series has four headlights instead of two; however, they're arranged differently than those on the Porsche and are less noticeable when viewed from certain angles (like during night driving).
- Interior Design Â
The interior design of both cars is very similar, but there are some differences to note. The 2023 Porsche Panamera looks slightly more modern than the 2023 BMW 7 Series. It has a thin blue line that runs through its center console, which gives it an airy feeling compared to other luxury sedans on the market today.
The seats are also more comfortable than those found in other vehicles in this price range--they're plush and supportive enough for long trips but not so stiff that they'll make you feel uncomfortable during stop-and-go traffic conditions or short jaunts around town. This makes sense considering how much time we spend driving these days!
Technology & Safety Â
The 2023 Porsche Panamera is available with various advanced driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind spot monitoring. In contrast, the 2023 BMW 7 Series only offers the option for front collision warning with automatic emergency braking (it doesn't have rear cross-traffic alert).
The 2023 Porsche Panamera has an optional head-up display that projects information onto its windshield; it's not offered in any trim level on this model year BMW 7 Series. Both vehicles also offer a parking assistance system as an option: The 2023 BMW 7 Series has parking sensors only, while the 2023 Porsche Panamera adds 360-degree camera coverage as well as both rearview cameras and rear sonar sensors for detecting objects behind you when backing up remotely via smartphone app or key fob commands from inside your garage door opener remote control device itself!
Performance
The 2023 Porsche Panamera has a turbocharged 2.9L V-6 engine producing 325 horsepower and 331 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2023 BMW 7 Series comes standard with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six that makes 382 hp and 369 lb.-ft., but can be upgraded to a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that makes 453 hp and 479 lb.-ft.
The Porsche gets an EPA fuel economy rating of 17 mpg city/24 highway/20 combined; the BMW gets 18/26/21 mpg (city/highway).
The Bottom Line  Â
In the end, it's pretty clear that the 2023 Porsche Panamera is superior in almost every way to its competitor. It feels more luxurious and comfortable, offers better performance and handling, and has a better interior design.
