Dongfeng Box buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Box brings a 430 km range figure to the B-segment, but its 94 hp output and single Standard trim leave little scope to tailor the purchase. The Proton eMas 5 and Wuling Bingo start RM40,200 and RM32,200 lower respectively, while the MG 4 begins only RM888 higher. Buyers should weigh the Box’s range against those gaps before signing.
