Verdict
The BMW M2 Coupe is the faster, smaller option, reaching 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and 250 km/h against the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric’s 4.8 seconds and 230 km/h. At RM125,200 less, it also undercuts the Porsche substantially, although its annual road tax is RM2,113 versus RM665. The Porsche brings five seats, a 584-litre boot and a claimed 661 km EV range from its 113 kWh battery. For Malaysian buyers, this is a choice between compact petrol performance and much greater electric-car practicality.
Pick the BMW M2 Coupe if you want 4.1-second 0-100 km/h performance, rear-wheel drive and a RM125,200 lower entry price.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if you need five seats, a 584-litre boot and a claimed 661 km electric range.
