The Panamera is designed as a sportier alternative to large luxury sedans such as the BMW 7 Series or the S-Class Mercedes-Benz.

Inside, the car welcomes passengers with a spacious and luxurious interior designed for four tall adults. The front panel's style remains very similar to its predecessor, although it has "shed" a multitude of buttons on the center console that once "adorned" the first generation Panamera.

The interior quality is astonishing – practically every surface is covered with leather or another high-quality material.

In terms of exterior, the car has not changed much – Porsche decided not to seek innovation, so the car maintains exactly the same shape, front-end design, except the rear lights have adopted the same style as other recently released Porsches.
