Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 undercuts the RM282,540 Volvo S60 by RM112,652 and brings a 73.48-kWh battery, 650-km EV range and 200-kW DC charging. That is a major advantage for a Malaysian buyer able to charge regularly. The S60 is quicker, hitting 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds against 5.8 seconds, and its all-wheel-drive plug-in-hybrid layout retains a 60-litre petrol tank. It also gets more parking aids and safety hardware. The Volvo’s 49-km EV range is modest beside the Dongfeng’s claimed distance.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you want the far lower RM169,888 entry price, 650-km EV range and 200-kW DC charging.
Pick the Volvo S60 if you need all-wheel drive, 4.4-second acceleration and petrol backup beyond its 49-km EV range.
