Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 undercuts the Mazda CX-60 by RM30,622, yet its 268 hp/310 Nm rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds against the Mazda’s 189 hp/261 Nm 2.5-litre petrol engine and 9.6 seconds. Its 73.48-kWh battery claims 650 km range and accepts 200-kW DC charging, while annual road tax is RM260 rather than RM830. The CX-60 answers with SUV access, a 570-litre boot and more versatile 40:20:40 rear seats. Pick the Mazda only if that extra carrying practicality matters more than EV running costs and acceleration.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you want 650 km claimed EV range, 200-kW DC charging and 5.8-second acceleration for RM30,622 less.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you need a 570-litre boot, five-door SUV body and 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats.
