Porsche Cayenne Coupe vs Toyota GR86
Verdict
The RM739,000 Porsche Cayenne Coupe is the fast, roomy plug-in hybrid here: 350 hp, 500 Nm, all-wheel drive, 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, five seats and a huge 698-litre boot. Its 25.9 kWh battery and 90 km EV range also change the daily-use equation. The RM296,000 Toyota GR86 is much more focused and much simpler, with 234 hp, 250 Nm, rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. It is slower at 6.3 seconds, but far cheaper to buy and tax in Malaysia.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe if you want the quicker, roomier coupe with all-wheel drive, plug-in hybrid running and five-seat practicality.
Pick the Toyota GR86 if you want a lower-cost, rear-wheel-drive manual sports car and can live with four seats and a small boot.
