About the 2022 Porsche Panamera

The 2022 Porsche Panamera is a sedan that earns a Carivo score of 7.6/10 — rated Recommended. Its strongest dimension is Technology at 8.8/10, while Value at 5.9/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. The reliability picture is solid rather than spectacular: 7.4/10, which puts it comfortably above the class median. Safety lands at 7.7/10 — solid, though some rivals offer more advanced driver-assist features as standard. Confirm official results for your trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.

Few rivals match it for performance: 8.4/10. Expect handling and power delivery that make this one of the more entertaining sedans to actually drive. On technology it rates 8.8/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.

Priced from $90,804–$110,294, 20 MPG, seating 4, the Porsche Panamera sits in the luxury tier of the sedan market. The value score of 5.9/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.

Verdict: Nothing about the 2022 Porsche Panamera will scare a sensible buyer off. Keep an eye on value if those matter to you; otherwise it does what a good sedan should — quietly and competently.
