Verdict
The RM13,200 step to the Porsche buys a 113 kWh battery, 661 km of EV range and 390 kW DC charging, while annual road tax falls from RM1,637 to RM665. It is also quicker to 100 km/h at 4.8 seconds and its two motors produce 436 hp and 835 Nm. The BMW counters with a 335 hp, 450 Nm 3.0-litre inline-six, 250 km/h top speed and a detailed equipment list including 22-inch wheels, 360-degree camera and 18-speaker Harman Kardon audio. For an EV-ready Malaysian household, take the Porsche; choose the X6 for petrol power and its specified cabin kit.
Pick the BMW X6 if you want a 3.0-litre inline-six, 250 km/h top speed and the listed 360-degree camera, auto parking and 18-speaker Harman Kardon system.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if you can charge regularly and want 661 km of EV range, 390 kW DC charging, 835 Nm and lower annual road tax.
