Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 undercuts the Ford Mondeo by RM28,112 while bringing a 268-hp, 310-Nm rear motor, 73.48-kWh battery and 650-km EV range. Its 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time is 2.1 seconds quicker, and it adds 200-kW DC charging, 3.3-kW V2L, a 15.6-inch screen and 19 speakers. The Mondeo counters with a much larger 557-litre boot, full-size spare tyre and five-star Euro NCAP and ANCAP ratings. For a Malaysian buyer prioritising EV range, acceleration and warranty cover, the 007 is the stronger buy; luggage space is the Ford’s clear practical win.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you want RM28,112 lower entry cost, 650 km of EV range, 200-kW DC charging and a 5.8-second 0-100 km/h sprint.
Pick the Ford Mondeo if a 557-litre boot, full-size spare tyre, split-folding rear seat and five-star Euro NCAP and ANCAP ratings matter more than EV hardware.

007 vs Mondeo FAQ
Is the Dongfeng 007 or Ford Mondeo better?
The Dongfeng 007 is the better-equipped and quicker choice, with 650 km of EV range, 200-kW DC charging, a 5.8-second sprint and longer warranty cover. Choose the Ford Mondeo only if its 557-litre boot, full-size spare and published five-star crash ratings are priorities.
What is the price difference?
The Dongfeng 007 costs RM28,112 less than the Ford Mondeo. It also has lower annual road tax: RM260 versus RM380.
Which car has the better boot and spare tyre?
The Ford Mondeo does. Its 557-litre boot exceeds the Dongfeng 007’s 452 litres by 105 litres, it has 60:40 split-folding rear seats, and it carries a full-size spare tyre rather than a tyre repair kit.
