Porsche Panamera 2013 vs Toyota Sienna 2010
| Body: | Coupe | Minivan / MPV | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 3.0 Diesel | 2.7 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Porsche Panamera) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Sienna) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

| Power: | 250 HP | 187 HP | |
| Torque: | 550 NM | 252 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 6.8 seconds | n/a seconds | |
| Porsche Panamera engine produces 63 HP more power than Toyota Sienna, whereas torque is 298 NM more than Toyota Sienna. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 6.3 | 11.2 | |
|
The Porsche Panamera is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Porsche Panamera consumes 4.9 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Sienna, which means that by driving the Porsche Panamera over 15,000 km in a year you can save 735 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 80 litres | 75 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1260 km in combined cycle | 660 km in combined cycle | |
| 1450 km on highway | 760 km on highway | ||
| Porsche Panamera gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Sienna) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Porsche Panamera) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 480'000 km | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Porsche Panamera engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 2 years | 17 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Used also on Lexus RX, Toyota Highlander | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Sienna might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
