Porsche has built a strong reputation for reliability thanks to its success in endurance racing, and many of the innovations it's developed in motorsport filter through to its road cars. You might not always be able to see them, but they should contribute towards the Panamera being a dependable car.

The German brand didn't figure in our Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, although its reputation for superior engineering and being part of the VW group, points towards Panamera ownership being a positive experience.

Main dealer car servicing - a complete guide

There’s lots of safety tech, too, so while there’s no Euro NCAP rating for the Panamera, with big brakes (upgradable to ceramic composite items), an active bonnet system and plenty of airbags, it should provide a decent level of protection.

You can also add more airbags in the rear, adaptive LED headlights, night vision assist, adaptive cruise and Porsche’s InnoDrive package that includes traffic jam assist for extra safety.

Warranty

As with all Porsche models, a three-year/unlimited mileage warranty comes as standard.

Servicing

As a premium brand, Porsche servicing pricing is steeper than some mainstream rivals, but the cost of keeping your car on the road is still reasonable. However, bear in mind tyres and brake pads will be expensive if these wear items need replacing.
