Difference ④ I noticed

④ Less noticeable dual personality

Motor journalist Goro Okazaki once said about the Panamera Turbo that it has “a Jekyll and Hyde driving character, with an incredible transformation.” I completely agree. It’s luxurious, but once you switch to Sport Plus mode, both the sound and driving change dramatically, letting you enjoy both sides.

With the Sport Turismo, the suspension is already firm and sporty from the start, so even when switching to Sport or Sport Plus modes, the transformation isn’t as noticeable.

Overall evaluation from a woman’s perspective?

From a woman’s point of view (as a wife and mother), I think the Panamera Sport Turismo is the better choice.

Its handling is more responsive, and it doesn’t feel as bulky, making it easier to drive. Also, the Sport Turismo can seat three in the back and has a larger trunk. Considering carrying kids or shopping with large loads, the Sport Turismo is more practical for everyday use.

That said, it comes down to personal preference. If you like the rear design closer to the 911 or prioritize a luxurious feel, the regular Panamera might suit you better.

Personally, I like the sleek, flowing rear design reminiscent of the 911 and the commanding presence of the Panamera, and since four seats are enough for me, I prefer the regular Panamera over the Sport Turismo.

This time, I’ve shared my impressions, but my husband plans to write a test drive review as well, so I’ll post that article later.
