Verdict
These two cost virtually the same: the Peugeot 3008 is RM169,388, just RM500 below the RM169,888 Dongfeng 007. The 007 changes the ownership equation with a 73.48-kWh LFP battery, 530 km EV range and 200-kW DC charging, while its 268-hp, 310-Nm rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. The 3008 counters with SUV height, a far larger 591-litre boot and Malaysian CKD assembly. Its 165-hp 1.6-litre turbo petrol drivetrain is slower at 8.9 seconds and rated at 7.0 L/100 km. Road tax is RM260 for the 007 versus RM120 for the Peugeot.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you want 530 km of electric range, 200-kW DC charging and much quicker 5.8-second performance in a longer sedan.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you need an SUV body, 591 litres of boot space, split-folding rear seats and the lower RM120 annual road tax.
