Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 costs RM13,697 more than the RM156,191 Mazda 6 Sedan, but brings a 73.48-kWh battery, 650-km claimed range and a 268-hp, 310-Nm rear motor. Its 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time is far ahead of the Mazda’s 10.5 seconds. The Mazda counters with a larger 489-litre boot, 62-litre petrol tank and 5.7 L/100 km rating. For Malaysian buyers able to charge, the 007’s longer 2,915-mm wheelbase, active safety and seven-year unlimited-mileage warranty make the extra spend easier to justify.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you can charge regularly and want 650 km of EV range, 5.8-second performance and active driver assistance.
Pick the Mazda 6 Sedan if you prefer petrol refuelling, need the 489-litre boot and want to spend RM13,697 less.
