Expert Rating

Porsche 911

(2019 - present)

    Summary


    The latest Porsche 911 (known as the 992) made its debut at the Los Angeles motor show in November 2018, with the first customer cars arriving in the UK in the second half of 2019.

    This page covers ratings and reviews for the ‘standard’ 911 coupé and cabriolet models. This includes the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S models and all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S versions, which are available in coupé, convertible and targa body styles. The higher-performance 911 Turbo models has a separate page, as does the 911 GT3 lightweight performance model.

    The Porsche 911 has received consistently outstanding scores from the UK media sources who have driven the car in its various forms, and is considered a significant improvement on the highly-praised 991 generation. There will be many more reviews added to this collection as the full 911 range is rolled out in coming months and years.

    Like earlier generations of 911, the 992 delivers outstanding performance while maintaining an impressive degree of everyday practicality. However, prices have been steadily increasing over previous models.

    As of November 2022, the Porsche 911 range has an outstanding Expert Rating of 91% based on 45 different UK reviews. The hardcore 911 GT3 scores even better, with an Expert Rating of 95%, although practicality is notably compromised in the pursuit of ultimate road and track performance.

    Safety rating


    Independent crash test and safety ratings from Euro NCAP

    No safety rating

    As of November 2022, the Porsche 911 range has not been crash tested by Euro NCAP. Given that previous generations of 911 have never been tested, we’re not expecting this one to be put through the Euro NCAP programme, either.

    Eco rating


    Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP

    No eco rating

    As of November 2022, the Porsche 911 has not been lab tested by Green NCAP. Due to its price and exclusivity, it is unlikely to have its emissons tested in the future.

    Reliability rating

    Reliability data provided exclusively for The Car Expert by MotorEasy

    All data based on MotorEasy average workshop costs for extended car warranty claims

    As of November 2022, the overall Porsche 911 family has a poor reliability rating of 34%, according to warranty data provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our partner MotorEasy. This applies to both the current 911 range and previous generations, although it’s based on a relatively small number of data points.

    Also worth noting is the very high average repair cost for 911 repairs, at more than £2,000. In every category, the average repair bills are significantly higher than normal, but most notably for engine repairs, where the average warranty claim for repairs to the famed Porsche flat-six engine was more than £8,000.

    If you own or are considering a used Porsche 911, make sure that any used car warranty covers all these critical areas.
