Verdict
At RM368,690, the Denza Z9 GT costs RM380,310 less than the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric yet has three motors producing 1,140 hp and 1,210 Nm, enough for 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds. The Porsche counters with a 661 km range, 61 km ahead of the Denza, and a larger 584-litre boot. Malaysian running costs swing sharply towards the Porsche: annual road tax is RM665 against RM9,140. Choose the Denza for outright pace, 1,500 kW DC charging and 4 kW V2L; choose the Porsche for range and luggage space.
Pick the Denza Z9 GT if you want 1,140 hp, a 2.7-second 0-100 km/h time and 4 kW V2L for far less money.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if its 661 km range, 584-litre boot and much lower RM665 annual road tax matter more than acceleration.
