The Porsche Panamera is a peculiar sports car. It's neither an SUV like the Cayenne, a crossover like the Macan, nor a sports car like the 911. Instead, it's a full-size four-door sports car that doesn't mind being used as a daily driver or labeled a luxury car. Porsche buyers in Colorado Springs, CO, are particularly fond of the 2022 Panamera 4 Sport Turismo - the extended-roof version of the Panamera designed for long-distance touring with features like standard all-wheel drive, 4+1 seating concept, and ample cargo space. In this comparison from Porsche Colorado Springs, we'll be pitting the 2022 Porsche Panamera 4 Sport Turismo against the similarly designed 2022 Audi A7 luxury Sportback coupe to see how the Panamera 4 Sport Turismo stacks up against a popular option among luxury sports car buyers in Colorado. We'll look at some of the important specs and explain why the 2022 Porsche Panamera 4 Sport Turismo is the best sports tourer money can buy.
