How this compares
At 22 MPG combined, the 2020 Porsche Panamera ranks 7th of 8 large cars EPA rated for 2020 — 2 MPG short of the 24 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,450, $800 more than the $2,650 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $17,250, a $4,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 401 grams per mile — about 6 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
