Verdict
At RM201,000 more, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric is the faster, more technical choice: its two motors make 436 hp and 835 Nm, reach 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, and draw from a 113-kWh battery rated for 661 km. Its 390-kW DC charging capability matters on long Malaysian inter-state runs. The Toyota Alphard counters with seven seats, powered sliding doors and Ottoman middle-row captain’s chairs; that is the better fit when passengers matter more than pace. The Porsche’s 584-litre boot is also 74 litres larger.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if you want 436 hp, AWD, 661 km of EV range and a 4.8-second 0-100 km/h time.
Pick the Toyota Alphard if carrying seven people in captain-chair comfort matters more than EV performance and a larger boot.
