Verdict
The RM169,888 Long Range RWD Premium is the sensible 007: its 650-km quoted range is 187 km ahead of the AWD Prime’s 463 km, while annual road tax is RM260 rather than RM1,015. The RM26,000 step to RM195,888 buys a second motor, all-wheel drive and a serious 536 hp/620 Nm, cutting 0-100 km/h from 5.8 to 3.9 seconds. Yet both retain the 73.48-kWh battery and 200-kW DC charging, plus the same cabin and active-safety kit. For Malaysian long-distance use, range wins.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 Long Range RWD Premium if 650 km of quoted range, RM260 annual road tax and saving RM26,000 matter more than outright acceleration.
Pick the Dongfeng 007 AWD Prime if you want 536 hp, 620 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 3.9-second 0-100 km/h time.
