2016 PORSCHE MACAN S
This model year
What the record shows
The 2016 Porsche Macan S is a small four-wheel-drive SUV, and the 3rd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2014 to 2026.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 3-litre six-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (AM-S7) and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 19 mpg.
The federal record holds 5 owner complaints, 5 safety recalls and 411 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.
