2017 Porsche Panamera

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Panamera.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (AM-S8)

The 2017 Porsche Panamera is a passenger car equipped with an eight-speed automated manual transmission, posting EPA figures of 21 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. Across the model's complaint history spanning 2010 through 2026, this model year stands as the least problematic on record, with just a single owner complaint—focused on the electrical system—alongside four recalls. That positions the 2017 as a notable low-water mark in the Panamera's reliability trajectory, especially contrasted with the 2011 model year's peak of 33 complaints, suggesting this particular year represents a relative sweet spot for owners seeking a more trouble-free example.

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

From the factory this vehicle uses OE oil filter 9A711533100. Note the factory engine air filter is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. 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 Porsche Panamera's federal record illustrates a pronounced downward trend in complaints across the generation, dropping from a peak of 33 in 2011 to just 3 in 2016. The 2017 target year sits at the absolute bottom of this complaint arc with only 1 reported grievance—related to the Electrical System—and zero crash or fire incidents, though it carries 4 recalls and 1 investigation. However, 2017 also features a massive spike in technical service bulletins to 703—up from 479 the prior year—implying extensive manufacturer service adjustments that precede a subsequent rise to 12 complaints and 6 recalls in 2018. The data does not specify the root causes for the recalls or the single electrical complaint. Ultimately, because 2017 boasts the lowest complaint volume of the generation's lifespan up to that point, it represents a highly favorable year to purchase, provided you verify that the four recalls have been properly resolved.
