Real-world fuel consumption

284 Porsche Panamera cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 11.2 l/100 km on the road, against 10.7 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 5% more.

What it costs in fuel

On real-world figures the Porsche Panamera uses 11.2 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 1,680 litres: €3,664 at this week's average price in Germany, its largest market in Europe.
