Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric S vs Turbo

Verdict

The Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric S is the rational Malaysian pick. Its 669 km range is 32 km better than the Turbo’s, while 657 hp, 1,080 Nm and a 3.8-second 0-100 km/h time are already very serious. The RM194,999 gap buys the Turbo 1,140 hp, 1,500 Nm, a 2.5-second sprint, larger brakes, 21-inch wheels, Burmester audio and extra cabin kit. That is serious hardware, but its RM9,140 annual road tax versus RM1,840 makes the S far easier to justify unless maximum acceleration is the point.

S

Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric S if you want the longer 669 km range, lower RM1,840 road tax and still-potent 3.8-second performance.

Turbo

Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric Turbo if 1,140 hp, 1,500 Nm and a 2.5-second 0-100 km/h time matter more than range and running cost.
