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 advantage for a Malaysian buyer who can charge regularly. The V60 is the quicker car at 4.6 seconds to 100 km/h against 5.8 seconds, adds all-wheel drive and carries 529 litres in its wagon boot versus 452 litres. Its 49-km electric range makes it a very different proposition.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if a 650-km electric range, 200-kW DC charging and a RM117,022 lower price matter more than outright pace and wagon practicality.
Pick the Volvo V60 if you want 4.6-second acceleration, all-wheel drive, a 529-litre wagon boot and more parking and driver-assistance hardware.
