Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE costs RM722,888, RM26,112 below the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric at RM749,000, and is the quicker coupe: 0-100 km/h takes 4.2 seconds versus 4.8 seconds, with a 250-km/h top speed against 230 km/h. But the Porsche is far more practical for a Malaysian household, with five doors, five seats and a 584-litre boot versus the Mercedes’ two doors, four seats and 420 litres. Its 113-kWh battery, 661-km EV range and RM665 annual road tax are hard to ignore beside RM2,128 for the Mercedes.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE if you want the lower purchase price, a 4.2-second 0-100 km/h time and the 250-km/h top speed.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if you need five seats, a 584-litre boot, 661 km of EV range and much lower annual road tax.
