Verdict
The RM59,000 step from RM550,000 to RM609,000 buys the Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 Facelift 8 hp and 50 Nm more, cutting the 0-100 km/h time from 6.2 to 5.7 seconds. It also adds steering correction, adaptive cruise control and an eighth airbag, useful gains in Malaysian traffic. But its rated consumption rises from 9.2 to 10.8 L/100 km and kerb weight climbs by 145 kg. The outgoing Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 remains the more economical choice, with the same 75-litre tank and 772-litre boot.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 if lower purchase cost, 9.2 L/100 km rated economy and a 1,985-kg kerb weight matter more than the facelift’s driver-assistance gains.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 Facelift if you want 500 Nm, a 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time, adaptive cruise control and steering correction.
