Verdict

The RM30,088 gap separates two very different answers to Malaysian motoring. The Dongfeng 007 is the faster electric sedan, using a 73.48-kWh battery for a quoted 650 km range and hitting 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds; its 200-kW DC charging and 3.3-kW V2L add real EV-use convenience. The Haval H6 costs RM139,800, brings SUV height, a 560-litre boot and a 61-litre fuel tank, so it avoids charging planning. It is also CKD and has lower RM120 annual road tax against RM260.

007

Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you can charge regularly and want 650 km EV range, 5.8-second performance and a longer 2,915-mm wheelbase.

Haval H6

Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the lower purchase price, SUV packaging, a 560-litre boot and petrol-hybrid refuelling flexibility.
