Dongfeng 007 review
Overview
The Dongfeng 007 is a 5-door fastback from Dongfeng with seating for 5, available with electric power and 3 variants to choose from. Every 007 is brand new, delivered through the national Dongfeng franchise dealer network with its full manufacturer warranty and a 5 year / 100 000 km service plan. Through Car4Less you get it below the manufacturer's retail price — and the Payment Saver Plan can bring your effective monthly instalment down even further.
In this review we look at what the Dongfeng 007 offers South African buyers — its range and pricing, how it drives, what it's like to live with, and who it suits best. As a 5-door fastback, it's a well-rounded choice in its class.
Range and pricing
The Dongfeng 007 range spans 3 variants, giving you room to match the car to your budget and needs. At the Car4Less price it opens with the 007 E1 530 from R 679 150 and stretches to the 007 E2 540 AWD at R 789 650 — every one below the manufacturer's retail price.
That spread means there's usually a sweet spot in the range — a variant that balances price against the features that matter to you. The full variant-by-variant pricing is laid out on the model page, so you can see exactly what each step up buys you.
Performance and driving
Power outputs run from 160kW to 400kW across the range, available with Electric power. Depending on variant, the 0–100km/h sprint ranges from about 3.9 to 6.8 seconds. For a 5-door fastback, the 007 is tuned for easy, efficient everyday driving, with enough performance to make it feel willing without drinking fuel.
Most buyers in this class care less about raw numbers than about how a car feels in daily use — and on that score the Dongfeng delivers the kind of unstressed, predictable driving experience that makes it easy to live with day after day.
Interior, safety and practicality
It seats 5. On the safety front, expect 6 airbags, alongside the active safety systems expected in this class.
Whatever the configuration, every Dongfeng 007 on Car4Less is a brand-new car with its full factory specification — not a stripped-out special. The model page lists the detailed specs so you can confirm exactly what each variant includes before you enquire.
Ownership and aftercare
Every Dongfeng 007 sold through Car4Less is brand new and delivered by the national Dongfeng franchise dealer network with the manufacturer's full warranty, a 5 year / 100 000 km service plan. Servicing and warranty work can be carried out at any Dongfeng dealer in the country, so wherever you are, support is close by.
That national footprint is a real part of the ownership case. It means predictable servicing, easy access to parts, and the reassurance that your car can be looked after anywhere — all of which also helps protect its resale value down the line.
The Car4Less verdict
The Dongfeng 007 earns its place in our showroom on Dongfeng's reputation and the value it offers in its class. It does the important things well, it's backed by a strong dealer network, and it's a car you can buy with confidence.
What seals it is the price. Because Car4Less lists the 007 below the manufacturer's retail price — with the option of up to R3 000 a month back through the Payment Saver Plan for qualifying buyers — it's simply a smarter buy here than anywhere else. Browse the full variant line-up, compare it against its rivals, and enquire on WhatsApp when you're ready to drive one for less.
