Known Issues & Watch Points

E-Hybrid battery degradation

Watch

Panamera 4 E-Hybrid models use a high-voltage battery that degrades over time. Remaining capacity affects electric range and performance. Check EV range claims against real-world figures and verify there are no high-voltage warnings.

Air suspension air springs

Watch

Air spring bags are wear items, particularly on older examples. Replacement costs £300–£600 per corner. Inspect for cracks or slow levelling at purchase.

Intervals are general guidance. Always refer to your car's Maintenance Booklet and consult a qualified Porsche specialist. Known issues are documented based on commonly reported patterns — not every car will be affected.
