Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 costs RM112,652 less than the RM282,540 Volvo S60 and makes the stronger case if daily driving can rely on its 73.48-kWh battery, 650-km EV range and 200-kW DC charging. It is also roomier on paper, with a 2,915-mm wheelbase and 452-litre boot. The S60 hits 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, 1.4 seconds ahead, and its all-wheel drive, 320-hp petrol engine and 87-hp motor suit buyers wanting petrol-backed long-distance flexibility. Its 49-km EV range is the clear limitation.
The S60 T8 Recharge AWD Ultimate (RM315,888) sits above every 007 variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you want a RM169,888 battery-electric sedan with 650 km of rated range, 200-kW DC charging and more cabin length for far less money.
Pick the Volvo S60 if you want the quicker 4.4-second, all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid with a petrol engine for journeys beyond its 49-km EV range.
