Verdict

At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 costs RM4,204 less than the RM174,092 Peugeot 508 SW and brings a 268 hp, 310 Nm rear motor, 73.48 kWh battery, claimed 650 km range and 200 kW DC charging. Its 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time is far ahead of the Peugeot’s 9.2 seconds. The 508 SW answers with a 660-litre boot, 60:40 rear seats and a 72-litre petrol tank, making it the more useful load carrier. For Malaysian buyers with dependable charging, the Dongfeng is the sharper buy; choose the Peugeot for wagon practicality.

007

Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you can charge regularly and want 268 hp, a claimed 650 km range and a 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time for less money.

508 SW

Pick the Peugeot 508 SW if a 660-litre boot, five-door wagon body and 60:40 split-folding rear seats matter more than EV performance.
