Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $152,680 and $151,888 respectively.
Safety Rundown
ANCAP safety ratings have not been published for both models yet. We will update this section when crash test results are available.
Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems.
The Porsche Cayenne stands out with Apple CarPlay, head-up display, panoramic roof, heated front seats, power tailgate and BOSE audio that you will not find on the Toyota Coaster. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Drivetrain
The Porsche Cayenne uses a Petrol producing 260kW and 500Nm of torque, sent through a 8-speed auto to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 6 seconds.
The Toyota Coaster responds with a 2.8L turbo-diesel (1GD-FTV, 4-cyl) making 110kW and 420Nm, paired to a 6-speed automatic driving the rear wheels.
The Porsche Cayenne has the clear power advantage at 260kW vs 110kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Porsche Cayenne measures 4,930mm long on a 2,895mm wheelbase, 2060mm shorter than the Toyota Coaster at 6,990mm (3,935mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Toyota Coaster generally means more rear legroom.
For towing, the Porsche Cayenne leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 1,400kg. That 2,100kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
