Porsche Cayenne: 9Y0 vs 9Y0 Faceift
Verdict
At RM550,000 versus RM609,000, the Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 is the cheaper buy, uses less fuel at 9.2 L/100 km and even has 340 hp against 335 hp. The Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 Faceift answers with a quicker 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time, a 248 km/h top speed and one extra airbag. Both are CKD, five-seat, all-wheel-drive executive SUVs with the same 2,995 cc petrol engine size, 450 Nm, 772-litre boot, 75-litre tank and four-year warranty, so the gap is narrower than the badge update suggests.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 if you want the lower buy-in, better fuel figure and nearly the same mechanical package.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 Faceift if quicker acceleration, a slightly higher top speed and eight airbags matter more than the higher price and fuel use.
