Dongfeng 007 Price in Pakistan: Is This 1.39 Crore “James Bond” EV Worth the Hype?
The Pakistani EV scene is exploding, and just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new drops. This time, it’s the Dongfeng 007, and the company is making a massive claim: they say this is Pakistan’s fastest sedan.
Fastest? In Pakistan? That’s a big statement, especially with all the new electric cars popping up.
So, we had to see it for ourselves. Chawla Green Motors (the same people who brought in the Dongfeng Box) have officially launched this car. And let me tell you, it’s not just a car; it’s a 540-horsepower, “James Bond” themed, tech-loaded beast.
But the big question is… is it any good? And with a price tag hitting 1.39 Crore for the top model, is it really worth your hard-earned money? Let’s get real and break it down.
First: How Much Does This Thing Cost?
Let’s get the sticker shock out of the way. The Dongfeng 007 price in Pakistan isn’t for a single car; there are three different versions.
Heads up: These are introductory prices just for the first 200 customers. You know what that means: after these are gone, the price is definitely going up.
- Essence (Base): PKR 1.19 Crore (Comes with a 58.4 kWh battery)
- Prestige (Mid): PKR 1.245 Crore (Gets the bigger 73.5 kWh battery)
- Excellence (Top): PKR 1.39 Crore (This is the one we’re talking about. Big battery + All-Wheel Drive)
The “Excellence” is the all-singing, all-dancing model with the crazy speed. So, all the specs I’m about to share? They’re mostly about this top-of-the-line beast.
So, Is It Really Pakistan’s Fastest Sedan?
Okay, let’s talk about that “fastest” claim.
The top “Excellence” model is a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive monster. Here are the numbers on paper:
- 0-100 km/h: Under 3.8 seconds
- Horsepower: 540 HP
- Torque: 730 Nm
Let that sink in. Under 3.8 seconds. That’s not just “fast for an EV,” that is supercar territory. That’s faster than almost any regular sedan you can buy in Pakistan, period. The folks at the launch were even saying they’d clocked it at 3.5 seconds.
To handle all that power, it’s sitting on 19-inch wheels with proper Continental tires and has some very mean-looking red brake calipers. It even has a “Combat Mode.” Yes, you read that right.
So, on paper? Yes, this is a speed demon.
That “James Bond” Design… Does It Look Good?
The “007” name is everywhere, and they’re leaning into it hard. The car is all sharp angles and aggressive lines.
- At the Back: The first thing I noticed was the massive rear diffuser. Honestly, it looks like it was inspired by a BMW i7. Just my opinion, but the resemblance is there. The tail lights are a single “lava” LED bar that runs all the way across.
- From the Side: This is where it looks most premium. You get pillarless glass (the windows have no frame, like on a high-end coupe) and pop-out door handles that sit flush with the car. It’s got a sleek, sloping coupe-style roof that looks fantastic.
- Up Front: It has that modern EV face—slim DRLs on top, main headlights hidden below. It also has “dancing” DRLs for a little welcome show.
It’s a genuine head-turner. It’s a bit smaller than a Sonata or a BYD Seal, but it has a ton of presence.
The Interior: A Tech-Lover’s Dream (or a Cleaning Nightmare?)
Okay, brace yourself. When you open the door, you’re hit with one of the boldest interiors I’ve ever seen in a car in Pakistan.
It’s all… white.
The dashboard, the seats, the doors, the center console—all brilliant, beautiful, bright white. It looks stunning. Like a futuristic lounge. The dash has this cool mix of a brushed suede-like material, wood trim, and silver accents.
But let’s be 100% real. This is Pakistan. We have dust. We have dirt. Keeping this interior clean is going to be a full-time job. It’s an “aggressive move,” to say the least.
Thankfully, I’m told there is a second (and probably more practical) interior color option. But the white one is what they’re showing off.
What About the Tech?
There are basically no buttons.
- The Brain: Everything is controlled by a giant 15.6-inch tablet in the center.
- The Gauges: The driver gets a smaller 8.8-inch screen for speed, range, etc.
- The Sounds: It has a 19-speaker sound system.
- The Roof: A massive, massive glass roof spans from the front to the back. It doesn’t open, but it has a power-operated sunshade.
- The Charger: A 50-watt wireless phone charger is built right in.
There are even “dynamic” ambient lights that can pulse and “dance” to the music you’re playing.
Battery Range: What They Claim vs. What You’ll Actually Get
This is the most important part of any EV review.
The company claims the big 73.5 kWh battery will give you 565 km of range.
Stop. Let’s be honest. That number comes from the CLTC, which is the Chinese testing cycle. It is famously optimistic. You will never get that number in the real world, especially not in Pakistan with our traffic and our AC use.
A more realistic (but still optimistic) number is the NEDC, which is around 540 km.
The number I trust, the one that’s closest to reality, is the EPA standard. Based on that, you should realistically expect around 400 km on a full charge.
Is 400 km bad? No, that’s still very good! But it’s not 565 km. They claim it can do Lahore to Islamabad on one charge, and… maybe… if you drive perfectly, but I’d be nervous.
The good news is the charging speed. On a proper DC fast charger, they say it can go from 20% to 80% in just 23 minutes. That’s seriously fast and makes highway trips possible.
All the Extra “Toys” and Gimmicks
This car is loaded with tech. Some of it is amazing, and some of it is… well, a bit of a gimmick.
The Amazing Stuff:
- Vehicle to Load (V2L): This is brilliant. You can plug regular household appliances into your car. Your car becomes a giant battery pack. Perfect for a day out, or even during loadshedding to run a fan.
- 540-Degree Camera: It’s not just a 360-camera. It has a “clear chassis” mode that uses cameras to show you what’s underneath the car.
- Full ADAS Suite: It has all the high-end safety tech: Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping, etc.
- Built-in DVR: The car is always recording, so you have a built-in dashcam for security.
- Fatigue Monitor: A sensor literally watches your eyes and will yell at you if you start to fall asleep.
The… Gimmicks:
- “Germ-Killing” Dashboard: At the launch, someone claimed if you have germs, you can put your hand on the dash and they’ll die. This is 100% not true. Let’s just… no. It has a pollen filter to clean the air, but the dashboard isn’t a magic sanitizer.
- “Fake” Engine Sound: Because EVs are silent, you can turn on a feature that plays a fake “vroom vroom” engine sound through the 19 speakers when you accelerate. Some people love it, I think it’s a bit silly.
Is It Practical? (Back Seat & Trunk)
- Back Seat: It’s surprisingly roomy! Because it’s an EV, the floor is totally flat, so three people can sit in the back pretty comfortably. They get their own AC vents and USB ports.
- Trunk (Diggi): The auto-boot opens up to reveal a huge and very deep trunk. You can fit a ton of luggage back there. And if you need more space, the back seats fold down. Very practical.
My Final Verdict: Should You Buy It?
So, the big question: Is the Dongfeng 007 worth that 1.39 Crore price?
Here’s my honest take:
This car is a statement. It’s for the early adopter who wants the absolute newest, fastest, most futuristic thing on the road.
Why you’ll love it:
- The Speed: It’s mind-blowingly fast. You will win almost every traffic light race.
- The Tech: V2L, the 540-camera, the giant screen… it’s a tech-lover’s dream.
- The Looks: It’s a head-turner. The pillarless doors and sharp styling are pure sci-fi.
- The Fast Charging: 20-80% in 23 minutes is genuinely useful.
Why you might hesitate:
- The Price: 1.39 Crore is a lot of money for a brand that’s still new in Pakistan.
- The “Real” Range: You have to be realistic and expect 400 km, not the 565 km they advertise.
- The White Interior: Seriously, think long and hard about whether you want that cleaning responsibility.
- The Small Stuff: In a car this expensive, having a manual-dimming rearview mirror and no lights in the sun visors just feels… cheap. It’s a weird place to cut corners.
The Bottom Line: If you want the fastest, most high-tech toy in the parking lot, and you have the budget, go for it. It’s an incredible piece of engineering. But if you’re a more practical buyer, the unproven brand and that super-optimistic range claim might be worth a second thought.Dongfeng 007 Price in Pakistan: Is This 1.39 Crore “James Bond” EV Worth the Hype?

- From the Side: This is where it looks most premium. You get pillarless glass (the windows have no frame, like on a high-end coupe) and pop-out door handles that sit flush with the car. It’s got a sleek, sloping coupe-style roof that looks fantastic.
- Up Front: It has that modern EV face—slim DRLs on top, main headlights hidden below. It also has “dancing” DRLs for a little welcome show.
It’s a genuine head-turner. It’s a bit smaller than a Sonata or a BYD Seal, but it has a ton of presence.
The Interior: A Tech-Lover’s Dream (or a Cleaning Nightmare?)
Okay, brace yourself. When you open the door, you’re hit with one of the boldest interiors I’ve ever seen in a car in Pakistan.
It’s all… white.
The dashboard, the seats, the doors, the center console—all brilliant, beautiful, bright white. It looks stunning. Like a futuristic lounge. The dash has this cool mix of a brushed suede-like material, wood trim, and silver accents.
But let’s be 100% real. This is Pakistan. We have dust. We have dirt. Keeping this interior clean is going to be a full-time job. It’s an “aggressive move,” to say the least.
Thankfully, I’m told there is a second (and probably more practical) interior color option. But the white one is what they’re showing off.
What About the Tech?
There are basically no buttons.
- The Brain: Everything is controlled by a giant 15.6-inch tablet in the center.
- The Gauges: The driver gets a smaller 8.8-inch screen for speed, range, etc.
- The Sounds: It has a 19-speaker sound system.
- The Roof: A massive, massive glass roof spans from the front to the back. It doesn’t open, but it has a power-operated sunshade.
- The Charger: A 50-watt wireless phone charger is built right in.
There are even “dynamic” ambient lights that can pulse and “dance” to the music you’re playing.
Battery Range: What They Claim vs. What You’ll Actually Get
This is the most important part of any EV review.
The company claims the big 73.5 kWh battery will give you 565 km of range.
Stop. Let’s be honest. That number comes from the CLTC, which is the Chinese testing cycle. It is famously optimistic. You will never get that number in the real world, especially not in Pakistan with our traffic and our AC use.
A more realistic (but still optimistic) number is the NEDC, which is around 540 km.
The number I trust, the one that’s closest to reality, is the EPA standard. Based on that, you should realistically expect around 400 km on a full charge.
Is 400 km bad? No, that’s still very good! But it’s not 565 km. They claim it can do Lahore to Islamabad on one charge, and… maybe… if you drive perfectly, but I’d be nervous.
The good news is the charging speed. On a proper DC fast charger, they say it can go from 20% to 80% in just 23 minutes. That’s seriously fast and makes highway trips possible.
All the Extra “Toys” and Gimmicks
This car is loaded with tech. Some of it is amazing, and some of it is… well, a bit of a gimmick.
The Amazing Stuff:
- Vehicle to Load (V2L): This is brilliant. You can plug regular household appliances into your car. Your car becomes a giant battery pack. Perfect for a day out, or even during loadshedding to run a fan.
- 540-Degree Camera: It’s not just a 360-camera. It has a “clear chassis” mode that uses cameras to show you what’s underneath the car.
- Full ADAS Suite: It has all the high-end safety tech: Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping, etc.
- Built-in DVR: The car is always recording, so you have a built-in dashcam for security.
- Fatigue Monitor: A sensor literally watches your eyes and will yell at you if you start to fall asleep.
The… Gimmicks:
- “Germ-Killing” Dashboard: At the launch, someone claimed if you have germs, you can put your hand on the dash and they’ll die. This is 100% not true. Let’s just… no. It has a pollen filter to clean the air, but the dashboard isn’t a magic sanitizer.
- “Fake” Engine Sound: Because EVs are silent, you can turn on a feature that plays a fake “vroom vroom” engine sound through the 19 speakers when you accelerate. Some people love it, I think it’s a bit silly.
Is It Practical? (Back Seat & Trunk)
- Back Seat: It’s surprisingly roomy! Because it’s an EV, the floor is totally flat, so three people can sit in the back pretty comfortably. They get their own AC vents and USB ports.
- Trunk (Diggi): The auto-boot opens up to reveal a huge and very deep trunk. You can fit a ton of luggage back there. And if you need more space, the back seats fold down. Very practical.
My Final Verdict: Should You Buy It?
So, the big question: Is the Dongfeng 007 worth that 1.39 Crore price?
Here’s my honest take:
This car is a statement. It’s for the early adopter who wants the absolute newest, fastest, most futuristic thing on the road.
Why you’ll love it:
- The Speed: It’s mind-blowingly fast. You will win almost every traffic light race.
- The Tech: V2L, the 540-camera, the giant screen… it’s a tech-lover’s dream.
- The Looks: It’s a head-turner. The pillarless doors and sharp styling are pure sci-fi.
- The Fast Charging: 20-80% in 23 minutes is genuinely useful.
Why you might hesitate:
- The Price: 1.39 Crore is a lot of money for a brand that’s still new in Pakistan.
- The “Real” Range: You have to be realistic and expect 400 km, not the 565 km they advertise.
- The White Interior: Seriously, think long and hard about whether you want that cleaning responsibility.
- The Small Stuff: In a car this expensive, having a manual-dimming rearview mirror and no lights in the sun visors just feels… cheap. It’s a weird place to cut corners.
The Bottom Line: If you want the fastest, most high-tech toy in the parking lot, and you have the budget, go for it. It’s an incredible piece of engineering. But if you’re a more practical buyer, the unproven brand and that super-optimistic range claim might be worth a second thought.The Pakistani EV scene is exploding, and just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new drops. This time, it’s the Dongfeng 007, and the company is making a massive claim: they say this is Pakistan’s fastest sedan.
Fastest? In Pakistan? That’s a big statement, especially with all the new electric cars popping up.
So, we had to see it for ourselves. Chawla Green Motors (the same people who brought in the Dongfeng Box) have officially launched this car. And let me tell you, it’s not just a car; it’s a 540-horsepower, “James Bond” themed, tech-loaded beast.
But the big question is… is it any good? And with a price tag hitting 1.39 Crore for the top model, is it really worth your hard-earned money? Let’s get real and break it down.
First: How Much Does This Thing Cost?
Let’s get the sticker shock out of the way. The Dongfeng 007 price in Pakistan isn’t for a single car; there are three different versions.
Heads up: These are introductory prices just for the first 200 customers. You know what that means: after these are gone, the price is definitely going up.
- Essence (Base): PKR 1.19 Crore (Comes with a 58.4 kWh battery)
- Prestige (Mid): PKR 1.245 Crore (Gets the bigger 73.5 kWh battery)
- Excellence (Top): PKR 1.39 Crore (This is the one we’re talking about. Big battery + All-Wheel Drive)
The “Excellence” is the all-singing, all-dancing model with the crazy speed. So, all the specs I’m about to share? They’re mostly about this top-of-the-line beast.
So, Is It Really Pakistan’s Fastest Sedan?
Okay, let’s talk about that “fastest” claim.
The top “Excellence” model is a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive monster. Here are the numbers on paper:
- 0-100 km/h: Under 3.8 seconds
- Horsepower: 540 HP
- Torque: 730 Nm
Let that sink in. Under 3.8 seconds. That’s not just “fast for an EV,” that is supercar territory. That’s faster than almost any regular sedan you can buy in Pakistan, period. The folks at the launch were even saying they’d clocked it at 3.5 seconds.
To handle all that power, it’s sitting on 19-inch wheels with proper Continental tires and has some very mean-looking red brake calipers. It even has a “Combat Mode.” Yes, you read that right.
So, on paper? Yes, this is a speed demon.
That “James Bond” Design… Does It Look Good?
