Verdict
At RM459,939, the seven-seat Denza B8 undercuts the RM609,000 Porsche Cayenne by RM149,061 while reaching 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, 0.9 seconds sooner. Its 36.8-kWh battery supplies a claimed 100 km EV range and accepts 11-kW AC or 120-kW DC charging, useful for shorter local trips. The Cayenne counters with a 772-litre boot against 147 litres, a 248-km/h top speed and 21-inch wheels. Choose around your passengers: the B8 carries seven, but the Porsche carries five with far more luggage room.
Pick the Denza B8 if you need seven seats, 100 km of EV range and a RM149,061 lower entry price.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne if a 772-litre boot, 248-km/h top speed and locally assembled CKD status matter more than seven seats.

Is the Denza B8 or Porsche Cayenne better?
The Denza B8 is the stronger family choice with seven seats, a 100-km EV range and a 4.8-second 0-100 km/h time. The Porsche Cayenne suits buyers needing its much larger 772-litre boot and 248-km/h top speed.
What is the price difference?
The Porsche Cayenne costs RM149,061 more than the Denza B8.
Which has the bigger boot?

Which one is locally assembled?
