Cayenne or Panamera V6

[Cambicorsa]

Hi all
Anyone had both and which did you prefer looking for a daily driver heard great things about Cayenne handling being excellent for a SUV but I’m not a SUV fan got a Landrover for that need only reason the Cayenne is being considered is 4WD I do long trips in all weathers and to maximise weekends away I don’t tend to head home till late afternoon with often 5-7 hrs driving so think both the Cayenne and Panamera will be entertaining and cosseting
A decent test drive would help but dealers seem to see 20 minutes as enough and unless they are near open roads 20 minutes is useless

I considered both before getting a Cayenne Turbo Coupe. In my opinion, the Panamera takes the same road space whilst having much less interior space and flexibility. Cayenne handling is as good as anything else I have driven, and if the ultimate roadholding is compromised I haven't found the limit yet. Note that mine has air suspension, 4 wheel steering but no PDCC. I considered PDCC but was concerned by yet more complication, and in any case no cars with the right spec were available. My son has a V6S Coupe, not quite as quick but still more than adequate. I wouldn't consider the base V6.

Absolutely identical to my view on them. I've always liked the look of them but would always choose a Cayenne in preference.

I've never been a 4x4 person either, but needed a Cayenne for something years ago and bought one expecting to sell it in 6 months time.
I kept it 10 years. Brilliant car

4wd Estate car?

5 series/A6/E Class?

Panamera is BIG but not big inside. If you need load lugging those will all be decent.
