Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 is RM16,012 below the RM185,900 Honda Accord and brings a 268 hp, 310 Nm rear motor, 73.48 kWh battery and 650 km EV range. Its 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time is decisively quicker than the Accord’s 9.0 seconds. The Honda counters with a much larger 570-litre boot, 118 litres ahead of the Dongfeng, plus CKD assembly and RM90 annual road tax against RM260. For buyers with charging access, the 007’s 200 kW DC capability and stronger driver-assistance kit carry real weight; the Accord remains the more practical luggage carrier.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you can charge regularly and want 268 hp, 650 km EV range, 200 kW DC charging and 5.8-second acceleration for less money.
Pick the Honda Accord if you need its 570-litre boot, space-saver spare tyre, lower RM90 road tax and petrol refuelling flexibility.
