Dongfeng Sets the Stage for 2026 With Exclusive Preview of 007 Liftback and VIGO SUV

Dongfeng Cars Malaysia has taken its next major step into the nation’s fast-growing electric vehicle segment by hosting an exclusive, closed-door preview of two upcoming fully electric models — the Dongfeng 007 and the Dongfeng VIGO. Held for selected media members, the session offered an early look at the brand’s next wave of EV introductions ahead of their official Malaysian debut in the first quarter of 2026.

The preview units were brought in by Central Auto Distributors Berhad (CADB), the sole importer and distributor of Dongfeng passenger vehicles in Malaysia. This marks a significant milestone as Dongfeng gradually strengthens its presence in the local EV market with a strategy that spans multiple segments.

Making its Malaysian debut, the Dongfeng 007 instantly captured attention with its bold fastback silhouette and performance-driven engineering. While full local specifications will only be released at launch, the preview highlighted several key performance figures based on global data:

Up to 400 kW power output
Up to 640 Nm of torque
0–100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds

These numbers position the 007 as a compelling new competitor in Malaysia’s growing high-performance EV category, offering sports-car acceleration wrapped in an elegant liftback design.

Also making its first local appearance, the Dongfeng VIGO represents the brand’s take on a practical, compact electric SUV tailored for families and everyday users. Key highlights from the preview include:

Driving range of up to 471 km (CLTC)
Flexible 5-seater layout
Fast charging: 30–80% in roughly 18 minutes

With its approachable size, modern design, and efficient capabilities, the VIGO is set to attract first-time EV SUV buyers seeking a versatile and user-friendly option.

The preview of the 007 and VIGO — alongside the already-launched Dongfeng BOX — demonstrates CADB’s commitment to offering a diverse EV lineup. From compact urban EVs to performance-oriented models, Dongfeng’s portfolio aligns closely with Malaysia’s growing interest in accessible and sustainable mobility solutions.

To further encourage EV adoption, Dongfeng Cars Malaysia is offering attractive perks for the current BOX model under its Year End Sales (Y.E.S.) campaign. For a limited period, buyers can enjoy giveaways worth up to RM30,000, including exclusive complimentary items such as:
