2022 Porsche Panamera vs. 2022 Audi A7

The 2022 Audi A7 has a compelling starting price and an impressive array of standard features, but the Porsche Panamera is far and away the better option for Los Angeles-area performance enthusiasts—and that’s true whether you’re looking for a gas-powered model or a plug-in hybrid. Compare the Porsche Panamera vs. Audi A7 in detail with our team to learn more!

Porsche Panamera vs. Audi A7: Performance

Even if we give the Audi A7 a little help, and count the S7 and RS 7 as part of the core A7 lineup, it’s clear that the Panamera offers significantly more power across the majority of the lineup:

Panamera vs. A7: Powertrain Options

Porsche Panamera Powertrains

• 325-hp V6
• 443-hp V6
• 445-hp Plug-In Hybrid powertrain
• 473-hp V8
• 552-hp V6
• 620-hp V8
• 690-hp Plug-In Hybrid powertrain

Audi A7 Powertrains

• 335-hp V6
• 362-hp Plug-In Hybrid powertrain
• 444-hp V6
• 591-hp V8

As you can see, the range-topping Porsche Panamera configurations offer power that no Audi A7, S7, or RS7 can match!

Panamera vs. A7: 0 – 60 Times

Plus, even the most capable Audi RS 7 can only go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. The Porsche Panamera has multiple configurations that can beat that time—and the fastest Panamera builds can accelerate to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.

Panamera vs. A7: Hybrid Capability

It’s also worth emphasizing that the most powerful Porsche Panamera configuration is actually a hybrid—and we think that’s something to celebrate! If you want a hybrid powertrain in the Audi, you’ll need to avoid the S7 and RS7 lineups, and stick with a relatively underwhelming 362-hp setup.

If you’re also interested in electric vehicles, you might want to compare the Panamera to the Taycan, or see how the Taycan measures up against a direct rival like the Audi e-Tron GT.

Porsche Panamera vs. Audi A7: Luxury Features

Drivers who choose the Porsche Panamera over the Audi A7 will receive a comparable range of standard features. Moreover, the Panamera Sport Turismo offers roughly the same amount of cargo space as the A7 Sportback. However, the Panamera offers more features as options without requiring you to upgrade or change trims. Moreover, the Porsche comes standard with these features that the base-level A7 lacks:

• Lane keeping assist
• Dual moonroof
• Hands-free liftgate
• And more!
