Verdict
At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 undercuts the Mazda CX-60 by RM30,622 while bringing a 268 hp, 310 Nm rear motor, a 73.48 kWh battery and a claimed 650 km range. Its 5.8-second century sprint is far ahead of the Mazda’s 9.6 seconds, and annual road tax is RM260 against RM830. The CX-60 answers with SUV usability: a 570-litre boot, five doors and 40:20:40 rear seats versus the 007’s 452 litres, four doors and one-piece folding backrest. Choose by charging access and cargo needs.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you can charge regularly and want 650 km claimed range, 5.8-second acceleration and a much lower RM260 annual road tax.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you need the SUV’s 570-litre boot, five-door access, split-folding rear seats and a 58-litre petrol tank.
