Edmunds spotlight: The refreshed 2025 Porsche 911

Porsche has given the 2025 911 a significant update. All models receive reworked front and rear styling. Most of the revisions help improve aerodynamics and engine cooling. Inside, the instrument panel is now a completely digital unit that's configurable. Porsche also repositioned some controls for easier reach such as the engine start button and gear selector stalk. But the big news is the GTS' new hybrid powertrain. It still has a turbocharged flat-six engine but it's paired with hybrid componentry to significantly improve performance. It cranks out 532 horsepower, which is 59 hp more than the outgoing GTS. The base Carrera's engine also gets updated but only receives a small power bump from 379 hp to 388 hp. Finally, Porsche has given the top performance versions chassis improvements for better performance and revised the availability of certain features.

Competitors to consider

The 911 is an amazing luxury sports car, but it's expensive. For not much more than the base 911 Carrera, you can get a BMW M8 coupe or the new Mercedes-Benz AMG GT coupe. Both are larger and more comfortable. Other alternatives to the 911 are the Chevrolet Corvette, including the new 1,064-hp Corvette ZR1, Aston Martin Vantage and McLaren Artura.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

9/10

How does the 911 drive? We tested the base 911 Carrera coupe. At the Edmunds test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and sprinted past the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds. Launch control makes getting quick times easy, and the Carrera had no problem with repeated runs at our tested track. The eight-speed dual-clutch automatic is quick but smooth, and it's smart enough to generally be in the right gear when needed. If you prefer to shift with a clutch, Porsche still offers a manual in the Carrera T.

As impressive as the acceleration is, it's the 911's steering, braking and overall handling that make it a standout sports car. The 911's rear-engine layout gives it unique handling that helps with traction because there's always weight over the rear axle. The steering is quick and responsive and offers excellent feedback from the road. The 911's brakes are strong and are capable of helping the 911 make shorter panic stops than most cars on the road today.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the 911? The 911 Carrera is the sort of sports car you can drive daily without undue stress on your spine. The seats are well padded and supportive, though the base sport seats don't offer much adjustment. The adaptive suspension is comfortable and compliant, especially given how well the car handles.

The 911 isn't the quietest coupe on the street, though wind and road noise is well dampened. You always hear the growl from Porsche's flat-six engine, and our car's optional sport exhaust was never overly loud or obnoxious.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The 911's driving position is exactly what you want from a sports car. All but the tallest occupants should be comfortable up front. Porsche no longer includes a rear seat as standard (it's a no-cost option if you want it), though you're not missing much without it. It's only suitable for young children. Forward visibility is excellent thanks to the low hood and relatively small pillars.

The 911 uses a mix of physical and touchscreen controls. The touchscreen is responsive and easy to reach. There are dedicated switches for the climate system, and the steering wheel uses real buttons and knobs. From 2025 onward, the 911 uses a fully digital instrument cluster. It's easy to see, though we lament the loss of the analog tachometer.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The 911 finally includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both can connect your phone wirelessly. We noticed some connectivity issues, though nothing persisted for long. There are USB-C ports for speedy charging. The digital instrument cluster can display gauges or a navigation map, and the latter can integrate turn-by-turn directions from Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

While the number of standard driver aids is limited, Porsche does offer features like adaptive cruise control and parking assist as optional equipment.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? Because the engine occupies the rear half of the car, cargo space is restricted to a 4.6-cubic-foot bin under the hood. It's large enough for two soft-sided carry-on bags but not much else. You can use the rear seating area for additional storage, but getting stuff in and out requires an awkward stoop and a tight squeeze. There's also not a lot of space for your personal items. The cupholders, pockets and bins are all small, so pack accordingly.

Want to take your new baby along for a ride? The car seat anchors are easy to find, but that's about the only good thing we can say. The lack of rear seat room means installing a child safety seat is very difficult. (The same goes for getting a child in or out.) If you really need a vehicle for family duty, the Panamera, Cayenne and Macan are obviously better suited.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The base 911 Carrera coupe, which is what we tested, has an EPA-combined fuel economy estimate of 21 mpg. We've had no problem hitting those figures in our testing. That's better than most rivals, even ones that also use six-cylinder power.

Value

7.5/10

Is the 911 a good value? A 911's base price is just a starting point. Porsche makes available a seemingly endless number of options, from driver aids to paint colors. That can be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view. Having to pay extra for, say, adaptive cruise control just seems greedy on Porsche's part. But the automaker does allow customers lots of personalization potential. Our Carrera coupe test car had tight build quality and no obvious flaws. The 911 isn't the most premium car in its class, but fit and finish is as good as anything out there.

Porsche includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty, which is the average for this class. It also includes four years/50,000 miles of roadside assistance.

Wildcard

10/10

The base Carrera proves that the 911 is fun and entertaining, no matter what spec you're in. Porsche makes more expensive and more powerful variants that will yield quicker lap times, but the standard Carrera is all the sports car most people need for the street or a racetrack. Few cars at any price point can compete with the 911 when it comes to feel and engagement. The design might not have changed all that much over the years, but you won't mistake it for anything else.

Which 911 does Edmunds recommend?

We could just say, "Buy a 911," and leave it at that. There's a 911 for just about every budget or desire, and that's before you start to factor in all of the neat customization options. But if we had to pick just one, we'd go with the much improved Carrera GTS. Its new hybrid powertrain blasts it to 60 mph quicker than the high-performance GT3 model, and it offers plenty of comfort and lots of standard and optional performance upgrades.

911 Thrill machine 8K update

Chic 911, 01/16/2020

2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8AM)

911 C2 Carrera S is everything and more than I could have wanted, The car is so enjoyable to drive that I often find myself smiling or laughing at how incredible and usable the performance is. It makes you feel like a better driver than you are. All specifications are on line so I won't mention them however I will discuss how those number translate in the real world. O-60 and 60-0 are … easily achieved without drama. The brakes are so strong that I find myself occasionally looking in the rear view mirror hoping the car behind me left enough braking room. 4 wheel steering is a must purchase option. Lane changes at highway speeds and above are telepathic, no body lean, no upset to the chassis, just rock solid performance. Interior is pleasant but not luxurious considering the price. Sound levels are rather high at around town speeds but fade away on the highway. Storage is adequate thanks to the small back seat which can never be used for a human over 4 ft tall. I have noticed when the temp drops below 45 degrees the tires have a hard time keeping contact during rapid acceleration from stand still. This is typical of summer tires however makes me think maybe I should have opted for the 4S. Update...Car now has 4K miles . Still agree with my original review. Had the car on the track finally and it was superb. Few stock vehicles can keep up with it. Steering feedback is excellent, you can feel when your approaching the limits of adhesion. Brakes are powerful. I could late brake into a turn well after other vehicles were on their binders. Rained in the afternoon which gave me the opportunity to test wet mode on the track. Once again the car amazes. All but 2 cars pitted during the storm but my Porsche felt planted. You can't imagine the performance capability of this vehicle until you bring it to the track. 8K update...All the above still apply. Car has experiences many service bulletins and engine mounts needed to be replaced on a recall. Not surprised as this was a very early build. Now for some negatives 1) Why no AM radio band? Ludicrous on a car of this cost they couldn't include AM radio, 2) Programming the garage door opener is a nightmare. Why cant they follow the other divisions (Volkswagen,Audi) software which is easily programed. 3) Customer support from Porsche USA online or via telephone is pathetic, as is their vehicles owners manual. Phone customer service representatives just repeat whats in the owners manual which is weak at best. 11K update. Car is telepathic on the track, throttle oversteer is easy to dial in. 27 mpg on the highway. Still impressed by its capability. If you purchase this vehicle and never track it, you’ll be missing 80% of its capability . One negative track occurrence is with windows down as required at the track wind turbulence and harmonic sound is unacceptable. Can’t believe Porsche never ran this vehicle at 100 mph with the windows down Small air deflectors placed by the outside mirrors is the answer. Shame on Porsche for not realizing this short coming. The fix cost me $120 plus installation. 15K update....Still reliable, Maintenance is EXPENSIVE. Rotors were 5k. Front tires were'nt wearing well, had some camber and caster adjustments done, problem solved. 20K update. More of the same great performance and owner satisfaction. PCA track instructors constantly marvel at the capability of a stock 991 S C2. No service issues causing down time as of yet. 23K, All good, sticking with all prior comments, Never mentioned car is easy to get in and out of unlike other sports cars, same goes for visibility which is excellent as opposed to my C8 Corvette
