2023 911 Carrera Safety

No Porsche 911 crashworthiness reviews have yet been conducted by local authorities. Considering its lofty price, it's possible that we'll never get an official safety rating for the coupe, although this in no way means it isn't a safe vehicle.

2023 911 Carrera Key Safety Features

While a 911 GT3 may serve as a track weapon or weekend toy, many 911 Carreras are used as daily drivers or for longer trips on the highway. In this context, it's very disappointing that Porsche continues to charge high prices to access the most advanced safety features. If you want a surround-view camera system, you'll need to part with $1,430 (this automatically adds power-folding mirrors for another $370). Night vision assist is $2,540, adaptive cruise control is $2,000, lane-change assist is $1,060, and lane-keep assist with traffic-sign recognition is $1,220. You'll also need to pay extra for traffic sign recognition, remote parking, and active lane-keep assist. There are a few packages that are available that bundle some of these features together and offer better value, but it's still a raw deal for a car that starts at over $110,000.

Fortunately, not every single safety feature will increase the number on your final bill. As standard, the 911 coupe comes with a rearview camera, front/rear parking sensors, tire pressure monitoring, LED headlights, basic cruise control, a Porsche Wet Mode, and forward-collision warning. There are six airbags, including front, side and curtain airbags for the driver and front-seat passenger.

2023 911 Carrera Reliability

The 2023 Porsche 911 has been highly rated by J.D. Power with an overall score of 86 out of 100 and an excellent 85/100 rating for Quality & Reliability. So far, there has been one recall for the 2023 911, for an improperly deploying airbag. This recall also applies to the 2022 model, in addition to another one for improper body welds. The 2021 model had three, so it's certainly improving.

All new 911s come with a four-year/50,000-mile warranty including 24-hour roadside assistance. A limited corrosion warranty runs for 12 years regardless of mileage covered and a limited paint warranty is valid for four years or 50,000 miles. Porsche includes scheduled maintenance for the first year or the first 10,000 miles.
