Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 costs RM13,697 more than the RM156,191 Mazda 6 Sedan, but brings EV running with a 73.48-kWh battery, claimed 650-km range and 200-kW DC charging. Its 268-hp, 310-Nm rear motor also cuts the 0-100 km/h time to 5.8 seconds, against 10.5 seconds for Mazda’s 153-hp, 200-Nm 2.0-litre petrol. The Mazda counters with a 489-litre boot, 37 litres more, a 62-litre tank and lower kerb weight. Choose based on charging suitability, not acceleration alone.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you can charge regularly and want 650 km of claimed EV range, 200-kW DC charging and far stronger 5.8-second performance.
Pick the Mazda 6 Sedan if you want the lower purchase price, a larger 489-litre boot and petrol refuelling from its 62-litre tank.
