Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz EQV is the rational family EV at RM450,350: it carries seven, has a 610-litre boot and costs RM505 less a year in road tax than the Porsche. But its 201 hp motor, 374 km range and 110 kW DC charging leave it far behind the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric’s 436 hp, 661 km and 390 kW figures. The RM298,650 gap is substantial. For Malaysian buyers needing three rows and sliding doors, take the EQV; for long-distance EV use and outright pace, the Porsche is in another league.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQV if you need seven seats, power sliding doors and a 610-litre boot at a far lower RM450,350 entry price.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if 661 km range, 390 kW DC charging and 4.8-second 0-100 km/h pace matter more than third-row seating.
