2020 Audi A8 vs. 2020 Porsche Panamera
The 2020 Audi A8 promises one powerful yet smooth ride to its users. It boasts of no less than premium quality materials inside. The launch of the S8 and plug-in hybrid model is something to watch out for as well. Lane departure warning is also part of its standard offering.
The 2020 Porsche Panamera, as usual, carries the V6, V8, and muscular hybrid engines. It has a comfortable and stylish interior too.
Design & Style
With a handsome charm easily captivating the heart of those looking for a luxury yet athletic ride, the 2020 Audi A8 is praised by those who have tried riding it. Inside it, there is plenty of space to accommodate passengers of all sizes, ages, and shapes. There are also plenty of cushiony and comfortable materials that makeup the cabin.
When it comes to the 2020 Porsche Panamera, it is notable how it oozes class on the outside. Its cabin, on the other hand, is filled with components that were crafted using premium quality materials too. Despite the effort, it still lacks the wow factor that is seen in most of its rivals, the A8 included.
Technology & Safety
The dual-display touch screen in the Audi A8 brings a lot of difference to the car when handling several functionalities. The 10.1-inch upper touch screen carries functions for audio and navigation systems, as well as smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The lower 8.6-inch screen supports seating and climate adjustments, as well as handwriting recognition. Safety features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, the standard lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, front and rear parking sensors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a rearview camera.
The 2020 Porsche Panamera is gifted with an innovative infotainment system that includes a navigation system. It also supports Apple Carplay. Using the display for the interface is distractive, since there are plenty of buttons to deal with. Standard Front and rear parking sensors, as well as a rearview camera for the only standard safety aids that you will find in this ride. All other features require an upgrade for a price.
Performance
The base Panamera V6 engine hits 330 horsepower. This number is defeated by the 335 horsepower score made by the V6 in the A8. They are tied at 453 horsepower for their twin-turbo V8 engines.
The Bottom Line
A ride with all the luxuries, technologies, and engine options that suit your lifestyle, the 2020 Audi A8 knows how to create a good and lasting impression. The Panamera may be a tough competitor, but it does not give your money's worth with the lack of technologies in it.
