Verdict
The BMW M4 Coupe is the sharper straight-line choice: its 530 hp and 650 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time to 3.5 seconds, 1.2 seconds ahead of the Porsche. But it costs RM139,800 more at RM878,800 and gives Malaysian buyers only four seats and a 440-litre boot. At RM739,000, the five-seat Cayenne Coupe brings a 698-litre boot, a 25.9-kWh battery and 90 km of EV range, plus four years of warranty. Its 350 hp petrol engine is less forceful, though.
M4 Coupe
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe if 530 hp, 650 Nm and a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time matter more than rear-seat capacity, boot room and plug-in charging.
Cayenne Coupe
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe if you want the RM139,800 saving, five seats, a 698-litre boot and up to 90 km of electric driving.
