Verdict

At RM169,888, the Dongfeng 007 costs RM500 more than the RM169,388 Peugeot 3008, yet brings a 268 hp, 310 Nm rear motor and a quoted 650 km EV range from its 73.48 kWh battery. Its 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time is 3.1 seconds quicker. The Peugeot counters with SUV access, five doors and a far larger 591-litre boot, 139 litres ahead of the 007. For Malaysian buyers with dependable charging, the 007 is the more performance-led choice; the 3008 makes more sense for regular luggage duty and petrol refuelling.

Pick the Dongfeng 007 if you can charge an EV and want 268 hp, 650 km quoted range, 200 kW DC charging and a 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time.

3008

Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you need a five-door SUV with a 591-litre boot, 60:40 rear seats and a 53-litre petrol tank.
