As far as executive luxury sedans go, it is hard to do better than the 2023 Porsche Panamera. This sleek Sedan with Porsche’s iconic look and blistering performance is iconic in its own right. For 2023, Porsche Panamera owners will get even more with a styled vehicle and plenty of tech features. The Bentley Flyingspar is also just as iconic and offers the epitome of luxury. However, the Panamera edges out the Bentley in a couple of important areas. In this article, we compare the two vehicles and tell you which of these two luxury sedans should be in your garage this year.
Design & Style
With a powerful stance and masculine look, the 2023 Porsche Panamera is a vehicle that is sure to turn heads anywhere you go. The Panamera comes with sleep lines that run all through the body of the vehicle and its large sporty wheels complete the iconic look of this car. In many ways, Porsche has managed to retain the iconic Porsche design cues on the 2023 Panamera while at the same time offering a modern-looking sports car that keeps up with the times. The interior of the Panamera is a statement of luxury. It features premium materials throughout and is very comfortable as one would expect in a vehicle at this price point. The Flyingspar on the other hand is equally luxurious. The exterior is a bit traditional and this may not appeal to buyers looking for something modern. The Flyingspar is also a large vehicle with a boxy design that affects the guide dynamics of this sedan.
Technology & Safety
Given the price point of these two cars, it is to be expected that they both will offer plenty of tech as standard. In this sense, the two are comparable when it comes to tech features. The 2023 Porsche Panamera comes with a 12-inch infotainment display that responds to both touch and voice inputs. This makes it super easy to use even when operating the vehicle. The Panamera also features smartphone integration, Bluetooth, and a lot more. The Bentley Flyingspur is equally decked out with tech features including a large infotainment screen, smartphone integration among many other features.
Performance
The 2023 Panamera offers a wide range of engines which allows buyers to get the precise engine size that they need. The top-of-the-line Panamera engine is a 3.0 twin-turbo V6 engine that offers a blistering 500hp. This is great as it delivers both the power that such a car is expected to have and is also fuel efficient. This is the largest drawback when it comes to the Flyingspur. It comes with a huge 6.0 liter V6 engine which is probably necessary for the Flyingspur given in large and boxy shape. The result is you have a heavy and gas-inefficient vehicle. Ride dynamics on the 2023 Flyingspur are not at par with that of the Panamera. This could be because the 2023 Panamera, despite being a luxury sedan still maintains the Porsche sporty heritage with its aerodynamic design.
The Bottom Line
There is very little doubt that both the Porsche Panamera and the Bentley Flyingspur are two superb luxury sedans. Therefore, a comparison between the two is always going to be a close one. However, discerning car buyers looking for a luxury sedan that has a modern look, better ride dynamics, and excellent design are better off going for the 2023 Porsche Panamera.
