Overview
The Dongfeng Box is a five-seat B-segment electric hatchback launched in Malaysia in 2024. It suits buyers after a compact EV with a single-speed automatic transmission and a claimed 330 km range in the listed specifications. The range starts with the E2 at RM100,700, with the E3 above it.
Box in 2026 — what's new
No 2026-specific revision is announced for the Dongfeng Box, so it carries into 2026 unchanged. The Malaysian line-up remains the E2 and E3. Both use a 31.45 kWh battery, a 94 hp electric motor and a single-speed automatic, with five seats and a listed 330 km range. Dongfeng’s newer Nammi 06 is a separate, larger model, not an update to the Box.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the E2 at RM100,700. On the stated core figures, it matches the E3: 31.45 kWh battery, 330 km range, 94 hp motor, single-speed automatic and five seats. The E3 costs RM113,700, a RM13,000 jump. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than mechanicals; move up only if its final equipment list contains items you specifically want. That is the key check before signing.

Verdict
The E2 lands almost exactly on the pricing of the Neta V, BYD Dolphin and MG 4: it is RM700 above the Neta, RM170 above the Dolphin and RM188 below the MG. That puts the entry Box in a crowded part of the EV hatchback market. The E3’s RM13,000 increase is harder to justify from the shared battery, range and output figures alone.
