What the record shows

The 2013 Porsche Cayenne is a full-size four-wheel-drive SUV, and the 11th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2003 to 2026.

The EPA rated two configurations: a single 3.6-litre six-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline.

Combined fuel economy ranges from 17 to 19 mpg depending on which one you have.

The federal record holds 40 owner complaints, 3 safety recalls and 474 service bulletins for it.

Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.

Reading this report

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
