Odd question. Surely such different vehicles meet different needs?

To a degree
But both similar acceleration
Both 4x4
Both practical enough
Both similar money

Depends on your use.

I have a Panamera ST that I really like but it is truly a four seater. not huge inside. I have not driven the SVR so this is purely speculation but would think the Panamera would have better high speed performance. SVR would be more spacious and higher. Many people like the higher stance of an SUV and they are much easier to get in and out of.

Neither. If a Rangie I'd have a full fat Vogue (and indeed I have had one of those) or if a Panamera I'd have a GTS. The Rangie would be my choice if I also had a second sporty car but if just one car I'd have the Panamera as the best compromise and also less likely to spend time broken at a dealers (I have experience with a RR).

Neither - both are just fat roly-poly cr*p-fests!

Maybe OK if you've given up on life, but you could always buy a proper car instead.

The SVR image would also make my teeth itch

I don't think the Panamera could be regarded as role poly.

I must have given up on life then!

What proper car do you suggest that’s better as a daily?

I tend to agree Phil.

I’d also say an SVR isn’t roly poly either - if an SVR with its suspension is roly poly then that means pretty much every SUV ever built is roly poly

My experience is that isn’t the case

Porsche winning so far

Panamera cannot be described, in all fairness, as a lightweight. My Turbo carries its weight in an incredible manner. It ought not be to able to throw itself around like that. I felt the same about my Gen 1 Cayenne though, so I suspect the SVR has similar dynamic capability. Question is, how thick is your skin, because you'll get gentle abuse for either (see posts above). Very few cars are ugly from the inside biggrin

I would have a Cayenne Turbo S e-hybrid - blends the positives of both cars originally mentioned into one (imo)

Out of those two Panamera without a seconds doubt, I do like a full size Range Rover as a rule but whenever I see an SVR it always appears to be driven in an appalling way by some complete numpty, who is typically revving the arse off it to make it as loud as possible, they have a really bad image to me.

I’m the same and would go in the neither camp, for a Rangie I’d want the full fat, probably in V8 diesel form although they’ve stopped making them now, for the Panamera I’d want the turbo or I’d get a Taycan, moot point though as sadly I can’t afford any of them!.
