Dongfeng Cars Malaysia offered local media an exclusive first look at two upcoming fully electric models — the Dongfeng 007 and the Dongfeng VIGO. The closed-door preview provided an early glimpse of the brand’s next major EV introductions, which are scheduled to make their official Malaysian debut in the first quarter of 2026.
The preview units were imported by Central Auto Distributors Berhad (CADB), the official importer and distributor of Dongfeng passenger vehicles in Malaysia. Their arrival marks another step in Dongfeng’s ongoing expansion within the local electric vehicle market.
Dongfeng 007
Making its first appearance in Malaysia, the Dongfeng 007 immediately stood out with its sleek fastback profile and sporty proportions. Although full Malaysian specifications will only be revealed during the launch, CADB highlighted several headline performance figures based on global data:
- Up to 400 kW of power
- Up to 640 Nm of torque
- 0–100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds
These preliminary figures hint at a high-performance EV poised to compete in Malaysia’s growing premium electric segment.
Dongfeng VIGO
The Dongfeng VIGO was also showcased in preview form, positioned as a versatile compact EV SUV developed for everyday urban and suburban use. Key highlights shared during the session include:
- Driving range of up to 471 km (CLTC)
- Five-seat layout
- Fast-charging capability: 30% to 80% in around 18 minutes
With its accessible size and user-friendly design, the VIGO aims to attract first-time EV SUV buyers looking for an affordable yet modern electric mobility solution.
Together with the newly launched Dongfeng BOX, the 007 and VIGO previews reflect CADB’s strategy to build a diverse EV portfolio catering to multiple market segments — from compact EVs to performance-oriented models. This approach aligns with Malaysia’s momentum toward wider EV adoption and the nation’s growing appetite for sustainable mobility options.
Dongfeng BOX Year-End Sales (Y.E.S.) Campaign
To further encourage EV ownership, Dongfeng Malaysia is running a special Year-End Sales campaign for the Dongfeng BOX. Customers can enjoy giveaways worth up to RM30,000, including:
- A Portable Charging Device valued at RM1,088
- A Front Cabin Storage Module valued at RM1,250
These offers are available while stocks last and support the company’s “My 1st EV” initiative, which aims to make EV ownership more attainable for Malaysians.
Datuk Hj Mohamed Nazari Bin Noordin, President of PEKEMA and Managing Director of CADB, said the preview marks a significant milestone for the brand:
“This first look is an important step as we prepare for the 2026 introductions. The new models reflect our commitment to bringing accessible, intelligent and sustainable mobility solutions to Malaysians.”
Wan Ahmad Fadzli Wan Mustafa, Chief Operating Officer of CADB, added, “Inviting the media today allows them to see Dongfeng’s direction ahead of time. Full details will come at the official launch, but this preview showcases our readiness to grow our dealer network, strengthen after-sales support and expand Dongfeng’s presence in Malaysia.”
