Verdict
The Dongfeng 007 is the long-distance, performance-led choice: its 73.48 kWh battery claims 650 km, its 268 hp motor cuts 0-100 km/h to 5.8 seconds, and 200 kW DC charging beats the Vigo’s figures. The Dongfeng Vigo counters with SUV form, a 500-litre boot and RM120 annual road tax against RM260. It is RM61,000 cheaper, yet its 380 km range and 9.5-second sprint ask buyers to accept materially less EV ability. The 007’s 452-litre boot is the trade-off.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if 650 km range, 268 hp and a 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time matter more than SUV practicality and the RM61,000 saving.
Pick the Dongfeng Vigo if you want the lower-cost SUV with a 500-litre, 60:40 split-folding boot and can live with 380 km range.
