Porsche Macan Electric 4 vs 4S
Verdict
The Porsche Macan Electric 4 costs RM445,000 against the Porsche Macan Electric 4S at RM525,000, so the RM80,000 gap is mainly about pace. Both get dual motors, AWD, a 100.0 kWh battery, 540 litres of boot space and nine airbags. The 4S adds 107 hp, cuts 0-100 km/h from 5.2 to 4.1 seconds and raises top speed by 20 km/h, but range drops by 7 km and yearly road tax rises by RM370. For most Malaysian use, the 4 is the cleaner buy.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric 4 if you want the same battery, cabin size, boot space and safety basics with more range and a lower bill.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric 4S if the quicker 4.1-second 0-100 km/h time and 512 hp output matter enough to justify the extra money.
