The first-generation DongFeng eπ 008 is a five-door SUV with hybrid and fully electric powertrain options. Your choice depends partly on how easily charging fits into your routine.
The 1.5 i Hybrid combines petrol and electric power, while the 82 kWh version runs entirely on electricity. Both examples pair rear-wheel drive with automatic operation, so you have no manual gear changes to manage. The electric version relies on charging, making convenient access to a charger especially useful.

Both the 1.5 i Hybrid and the 82 kWh electric version use lithium-ion batteries. When assessing DongFeng eπ 008 battery capacity, remember that stored energy is only part of the range picture: motorway speeds, cold weather and cabin heating can all increase consumption, leaving you less distance between charges.
