Porsche Cayenne Coupe vs Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric

Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric

Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric

Verdict

At RM739,000, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe is RM10,000 cheaper and makes the stronger case for buyers who need a 698-litre boot, 263 km/h top speed and Malaysian CKD assembly. Its 90 km electric range suits shorter daily running, but the RM2,118 annual road tax and absence of a stated DC charging rate count against it. The RM749,000 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric cuts road tax to RM665, delivers 661 km of range from its 113 kWh battery and accepts up to 390 kW DC charging. Its 584-litre boot is the trade-off.

Cayenne Coupe

Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe if you want the lower purchase price, a 698-litre boot and the marginally quicker 4.7-second 0-100 km/h time.

Cayenne Coupe Electric

Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if 661 km electric range, 390 kW DC charging and RM665 annual road tax matter more than boot space.
