Verdict
At RM759,000, the Porsche Cayenne Electric S is the more rational Malaysian Cayenne Electric: it reaches 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, manages 652 km of range and carries RM1,840 annual road tax. The RM210,999 step to the RM969,999 Porsche Cayenne Electric Turbo buys startling 2.5-second acceleration, 1,156 PS with Launch Control and Push-to-Pass, plus larger brakes, 21-inch wheels, Burmester audio and a head-up display. It also brings RM9,140 yearly road tax and 28 km less range. Unless that extra pace matters, take the S.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Electric S if you want 652 km of range, far lower annual road tax and super-SUV pace without spending RM210,999 more.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Electric Turbo if 2.5-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, 1,156 PS and its stronger equipment list justify the higher purchase price and RM9,140 road tax.
