Verdict
These are radically different executive choices. The Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric costs RM749,000, RM201,000 more than the RM548,000 Toyota Alphard, but brings two motors producing 436 hp and 835 Nm, a 113 kWh battery, 661 km of EV range and 390 kW DC charging. Its 584-litre boot also beats the Alphard’s 510 litres. The Toyota is the practical people carrier: seven seats, power sliding doors and ottoman captain’s chairs suit family or chauffeur use. For Malaysian buyers, the Porsche’s RM665 annual road tax is lower than the Alphard’s RM754, too.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if you want 661 km EV range, 436 hp from two motors and a larger 584-litre boot, and can accept five seats and the RM201,000 higher price.
Pick the Toyota Alphard if seven seats, ottoman middle-row captain’s chairs and power sliding doors matter more than EV range and outright performance.
