“An outlier in lots of ways, the Porsche Panamera is not only a sports sedan in a class full of (near) limousines, it also offers the widest range of configuration and personalization choices of any car on this list.
“The standard Panamera sedan is the smallest car on this list, but Porsche also offers a long-wheelbase version that offers a much larger backseat for luxury-minded buyers. On top of that, it also builds the Panamera Sport Turismo, which is a hatchback-like station wagon with a much more useful cargo area and even more pleasing styling.”
And the Panamera delivers where it matters most: Performance, according to the article that accompanied its ranking in the top five cars for 2023.

Well, at the top are the E-hybrid V6 (455 hp) and E-Hybrid V8 (690 hp), with that last one capable of reaching 60 mph in a scorching 2.9 seconds. These are super-sedans, and they drive and look like slinky sports cars that just happen to have four doors and luxury interiors.”
