Dongfeng Motor Corporation has officially expanded its electric vehicle (EV) line-up in Malaysia with the introduction of two new models, the Dongfeng 007 electric sedan and the Dongfeng VIGO electric SUV, marking a significant step forward in the brand’s local electrification strategy.
The Malaysian launch is led by Volt Auto, in partnership with Central Auto Distributors Bhd, as Dongfeng brings its latest generation of EVs to meet the growing demand for intelligent, lifestyle-oriented electric mobility in the country.
To strengthen its value proposition, Dongfeng is offering an attractive ownership package for both models, which includes a complimentary ABB wall box, a six-year vehicle warranty with unlimited mileage, and an eight-year powertrain warranty with unlimited mileage.
Dongfeng 007: Performance-Focused Electric Sedan
Headlining the launch is the Dongfeng 007, a next-generation electric sedan designed for drivers who prioritise performance, bold styling, and advanced technology. Featuring a sleek liftback profile and futuristic design language, the 007 represents Dongfeng’s vision of a modern electric sedan that blends speed, intelligence, and everyday usability.
Targeted primarily at urban drivers, the Dongfeng 007 delivers strong acceleration, a long driving range, and ultra-fast charging capability—key attributes for city-centric lifestyles. The model has already generated regional buzz following its high-profile launch in Singapore, which featured a special appearance by international star Jessica Jung, positioning the 007 as a design-forward statement in the EV space.
In Malaysia, the Dongfeng 007 is expected to be priced from RM161,000, following a special launch discount of RM8,888. Performance and technology highlights include:
0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds
Driving range of up to 650 km
WANOS Premium 19-speaker surround sound system with headrest audio
Practical electric liftback body style
Fast charging to 80% in just 11 minutes
With these figures, the 007 enters the market as a serious contender in the premium electric sedan segment.
With the introduction of the Dongfeng 007 and VIGO, Dongfeng is signalling its intent to play a more prominent role in Malaysia’s rapidly evolving EV landscape. By combining performance, technology, and lifestyle-focused design with strong ownership support, the brand aims to position itself as a compelling alternative for Malaysian motorists looking to make the switch to electric.
