2023 Porsche Cayenne

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Cayenne.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2023 Porsche Cayenne is a full-size SUV equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and achieves EPA fuel economy ratings of 17 mpg in city driving, 22 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg combined. Reliability data shows the model has recorded only five owner complaints to date, with service brakes and forward collision avoidance emerging as the primary concern areas, alongside a single recall. When viewed against the model's complaint history spanning 2003 to 2026—peaking at 101 complaints in 2004 and reaching its lowest point at just one complaint in 2010—the 2023 Cayenne represents a mature iteration that benefits from nearly two decades of incremental refinement and issue resolution.

Fitment & sizes

Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.

From the factory this vehicle uses OE oil filter 9A711533100. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

The 2023 Porsche Cayenne sits at a low point in the model's recent federal-record arc, with just 5 complaints, 1 recall, 0 investigations, and 439 TSBs. Compared with the 2019 peak of 40 complaints and 6 recalls, and the still-elevated 2020–2021 figures, 2023 shows a clear improvement in both owner-reported problems and safety actions. It also compares favorably with 2024, which logged the same 5 complaints but a higher 4 recalls and 475 TSBs, and with 2022, which had fewer complaints (3) but twice as many recalls (2) and more TSBs (522). The top complaint areas are fragmented, each showing only a single report, so the data does not identify a concentrated defect pattern for this year. With one crash complaint and no fire complaints, there are no obvious red flags in the federal record. Given this trajectory, a used 2023 Cayenne looks like a relatively strong choice within this generation, provided the single recall has been completed on the specific vehicle.
