2022 Porsche Cayenne

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Cayenne.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne features an S8 automatic transmission alongside EPA fuel economy figures of 17 city, 22 highway, and 19 combined mpg. From a quality standpoint, this specific model year exhibits a strong track record with only three total owner complaints—primarily centered on the suspension—and just two recalls. When contextualized within the broader complaint history spanning 2003 to 2026, the 2022 Cayenne sits far closer to the historically reliable 2010 low of a single complaint than the problematic 2004 peak of 101, signifying a notably stable period for prospective researchers to consider.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Federal data for the 2022 Porsche Cayenne shows a steep drop in complaints and recalls relative to the immediately preceding model years, with only 3 complaints and 2 recalls compared to 17 complaints and 5 recalls in 2021 and a recent high of 40 complaints and 6 recalls in 2019. The following years saw a slight rebound to 5 complaints in both 2023 and 2024, placing 2022 at the low point of a downward arc that started after the elevated activity of 2019–2021 and included a corresponding fall in TSBs from 794 to 522. For 2022 specifically, the three complaints are scattered across single incidents in suspension, visibility, and electrical system/back over prevention, with zero crash-related and zero fire-related complaints recorded, so the data does not specify a common root cause. Within the broader generational trend, 2022 represents the quietest year in the recent federal record. Given its position at the bottom of the complaint-and-recall curve and the absence of any reported crash or fire complaints, the 2022 Cayenne stands out as a favorable used-buy.
