Porsche 911 ranked Most Dependable Vehicle in J.D. Power study Macan leads its segment, while Porsche overall rises to second place in the study
Atlanta, Georgia. The Porsche 911 is the highest-ranked model for trouble-free ownership in the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), released today. The Macan ranked as most dependable among Premium Compact SUVs, and overall the Porsche brand across model lines improved to second-place in the annual study. This was the second time in three years the 911 took top honors among all models.“Porsche strives to make our customers’ sports car dreams come true,” said Kjell Gruner, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, Inc. “It is gratifying to see our iconic 911 and Macan exemplify our commitment to developing, building and maintaining exciting and dependable Porsche vehicles.”
The study, now in its 32nd year, measures the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of three-year-old vehicles. A lower score reflects higher dependability. This year’s study was based on 2018 model-year vehicles.
For the Porsche brand, U.S. customers reported 18 fewer PP100 in the latest study to bring the overall score down to 86 PP100 compared to this year’s luxury average of 118. Porsche ranked 4th in the previous study. The Porsche 911 came in with 57 PP100, the fewest of any model across the automotive sector.
