The Porsche Malaysia website seems to suggest that the Cayenne S Diesel will be joining the local line-up, as evidenced by the screenshot above. If it is the case, it’s interesting that they’re considering this model – with a 4.2 litre oil-burning biturbo V8 pushing out 382 hp and a mega 850 Nm of torque, does this mean the quality of our diesel fuel is not as bad as we think?
We have no details yet on when the car will be introduced, if at all, but we can speculate as to its price. The Cayenne S starts from RM700k; the S Hybrid from RM740k, so we presume the S diesel won’t stray very far from a RM720k base price, given that it’s positioned between the Cayenne S and S Hybrid in other markets.
The Cayenne S Diesel is set to launch in Germany next year. We’ve got some sound clips of Stuttgart’s most powerful diesel car below – use headphones for maximum aural therapy.

Damn that whistle sound so nice!
ayaaa…come what may, but i still cannot buy…no enough money..work until die oso still cannot buy…
Porsche the name only, can justify the price already, just like Ferrari at which I used to admire.
What the f is going on that all the great diesels are in cars that nobody can really afford
there’s still some stock for previous generation focus tdci left, brand new! :)
But new generation no plans to introduce the tdci engine, hence another dying support for the engine
Crap! Toyota RAV better!
wait a sec here, i thought that the quality of diesel sold in MY is too low grade (high sulphur and the sorts…. i think..) for european marques to use n all, so how come we’re seeing more diesel options being offered?
i mean what gives? if cars like porsche can survive with our “so called” high impurity diesel fuel, how come we’re not seeing our market being flooded with more diesel engine options from the like of Ford (yeah i know there is the focus tdci, as mentioned in the conversation btw gavin and paul above me, but like the guys said…that car aint exactly affordable for just about everyone), Peugeot and the whole bunch….
is our diesel fuel suddenly became Euro4 compliant or something?? like what BHP is advertising, its petrol being (at times that is) equivalent to euro4 stds….
p.s. bring them diesel engines here already…. (and the rest of you naysayers to diesel powered cars…….why complain if this ends up giving more choice and hence more value for money to everyone….)
p.s X2- noticed i’ve rambled a bit too much…. but like they say, don’t shoot the messenger….
And who shall flood the market?
The Japanese don’t have any modern diesels, i.e. Toyota is using Peugeot diesel engines in their European line-up and lately even signed an agreement with BMW about the supply of modern diesel engines? ;)
lexus rx / TOYOTA harrier is lah..better buy lah..confirm!..this resale value oso very bad one..waste money only to buy
but Porsche has that image. torota doesnt
that where u are wrong..what image?..resale value drop almost 50% when just owning it for 4 days..haha
Do you need RV when you want to buy a Porsche? Is just like when you plan to watch scary movie and afraid will get scare.
And where can I buy a Lexus rx / TOYOTA harrier with 382 hp and 850Nm torque?
However: Don’t waste money, better take the bus. Bus ticket cheaper and you don’t have to care about RV ;)
Don’t buy car la if worry about resale value……
Diesel quality in MAlaysia SUCKS big time…..
Well, the mechanic at service center found considerable amount of water in my Colorado’s diesel filter. Clearly visible for me as well. He asked me where did I usually refuel, I said XXX (American company). He said, It’s been recommended for this vehicle to refuel at XXX (local). He added, to that moment the only company in Malaysia sells diesel with international standards is this local one. So I assume that not all American goods are good and not all local products are sucks. To make sure of this, why don’t we conduct a lab test independently on diesel quality? Mr Tan, it’s a suggestion for you ;)
It is not true, I tried the local brand for my 320d,it came out a lot of black smoke( like lorry) ….suggest to go for the seafood brand…. My meter just clocked 100KKM & 99% of my time I use the seafood brand…. Didn’t find any water in my diesel filter……
