Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 undercuts the RM286,910 Volvo V60 by RM117,022 while delivering a 73.48-kWh battery, 650 km EV range and 200-kW DC charging. That is a major running-cost and long-distance EV case for a Malaysian buyer, reinforced by RM260 annual road tax versus RM365. The V60 answers with much harder acceleration, reaching 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds against 5.8 seconds, plus AWD and a more useful 529-litre boot. Its 49 km EV range means regular charging matters far more if petrol use is to stay low.
The V60 Recharge T8 Ultimate (RM321,888) 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 650 km of EV range, 200-kW DC charging and a RM117,022 lower purchase price.
Pick the Volvo V60 if you need AWD, a 529-litre wagon boot and its 4.6-second 0-100 km/h time.
