Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP), the official representative of Porsche in Malaysia, has announced the introduction of the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe, a highly anticipated addition to Porsche’s lineup in the country. As the second Porsche model to be locally assembled and the first to be assembled for regional export, this sporty SUV aims to set a new standard in luxury and performance.
Milestone Achievements and Growing Demand
Christopher Hunter, CEO of Sime Darby Auto Performance, highlighted Porsche’s growing success in Malaysia since establishing local assembly operations in 2022. Over 1,000 units of the locally assembled Cayenne were delivered to customers in just one year. In 2024, Porsche expanded its regional presence by launching the first regionally assembled Cayenne for Thailand, solidifying its role as a key assembly partner in Southeast Asia.
Striking Design and Premium Features
The Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe boasts an athletic and expressive design, available in Carrara White Metallic, Chromite Black Metallic, and Dolomite Silver Metallic at no extra cost. Its sporty appearance is accentuated by 20-inch Cayenne S Design wheels in Vesuvius Grey and redesigned HD Matrix LED headlights featuring over 32,000 pixels per lamp for optimal visibility.
Inside, the SUV exudes luxury with a GT Sports steering wheel, Sport Chrono package, and Porsche Design clock as standard. The cabin is enhanced with premium BOSE Surround Sound, leather upholstery options in Black or Bordeaux Red, and advanced convenience features such as a four-zone climate control system, electric sunblinds, and 14-way adjustable comfort seats.
Passenger comfort is further elevated with standard pre-wiring for rear seat entertainment, while tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the 12.6-inch curved instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment screen, part of the Porsche Driver Experience system. The re-positioned gear selector creates additional storage space, enhancing functionality.
Performance and Efficiency
The Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe combines Porsche’s renowned driving dynamics with cutting-edge hybrid technology. Its 3.0-litre V6 turbo engine, paired with an upgraded electric motor, delivers a total output of 519PS and accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.7 seconds. The SUV’s top speed is 263km/h, and it offers an impressive electric-only range of up to 90km, ideal for city commuting.
Advanced Suspension for Enhanced Comfort
Equipped with a new adaptive air suspension system featuring Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe provides exceptional ride comfort and stability. The innovative two-chamber, two-valve technology allows for a wider range of spring rates, ensuring a seamless transition between comfortable cruising and high-performance driving.
