Dongfeng 007 Long Range RWD Premium vs AWD Prime
Verdict
The Dongfeng 007 AWD Prime asks RM26,000 more, and the money clearly goes into performance: dual motors, all-wheel drive, 536 hp and a 3.9-second 0–100 km/h time. But it also drops range from 530 km to 463 km and raises annual road tax from RM260 to RM1,015. Since both use a 73.5 kWh battery and share the same 452-litre boot, the Dongfeng 007 Long Range RWD Premium is the easier Malaysian daily pick unless you really want the extra punch.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 Long Range RWD Premium if you want the longer 530 km range, lower RM260 road tax and can live with 268 hp rear-wheel drive.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 AWD Prime if you want 536 hp, all-wheel drive traction and a much quicker 3.9-second 0–100 km/h time.
