Choose the Dongfeng 007 Premium if you want the longest range: it has one rear motor, 200 kW (268 hp) and up to 650 km on the CLTC cycle. Choose the 007 Prime if you want the most performance: it has two motors, all-wheel drive, 400 kW (544 PS) and goes from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with up to 565 km CLTC range. Both share the same 73.48 kWh battery and body, so a test drive of both is the best way to decide.
What is the main difference between the 007 Premium and the 007 Prime?
The difference is the drivetrain. The Premium (Long Range RWD) has a single rear motor and drives the rear wheels. The Prime (AWD) adds a second motor so it drives all four wheels. Both are five-seat electric fastback sedans with a 73.48 kWh LFP battery, 4,880 mm long, with a 2,915 mm wheelbase.
How do range and power compare?
The Premium makes 200 kW (268 hp) and 310 Nm, goes from 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds and has up to 650 km of range on the CLTC cycle (530 km WLTP). The Prime makes 400 kW (544 PS) and 620 Nm, does 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and has up to 565 km on CLTC (389 km WLTP). Range figures are test-cycle numbers: real range is lower and depends on speed, load, weather and air-con.
What else changes between the two versions?
The Premium runs on 18-inch wheels, while the Prime has 19-inch wheels with performance calipers. Inside, the Premium is black with white contrast; the Prime is black with white-contrast faux-leather seats, or the Prime-only white dashboard with grey contrast. Both have a 15.6-inch centre screen, a 19-speaker WANOS sound system, a panoramic glass roof, 6 airbags and Level 2 driver assistance (ADAS). Driver assistance supports the driver and does not replace attention. Equipment can change, so ask us to confirm it on the car you are looking at.
Which one suits which driver?
If you drive long distances, such as regular trips between Johor Bahru and the north or south of the peninsula, the Premium's longer range is the point of the version. If you enjoy strong acceleration and the grip of all-wheel drive, the Prime is built for that. For daily driving around Johor, either one covers a typical day, so let the way you drive and the cabin you prefer decide.
What to check when you test drive both
- How the Premium and Prime feel when you accelerate from a stop and when you overtake
- Ride comfort on 18-inch versus 19-inch wheels on the roads you use
- The interior colours in real light, since on-screen colours are only a guide
- Your usual daily and weekend distances, so we can talk through range and charging
