The Dongfeng eπ 008 is a mid-size SUV from Dongfeng Motor Corporation, sold under the Dongfeng eπ sub-brand. It is the second model in the eπ lineup, following the eπ 007, and was launched in 2024. The car premiered in April 2024 at the Beijing Auto Show and reached Chinese showrooms later that year. It first went on sale as a six‑seater, with a five‑seat version arriving in October 2024.

The eπ 008 is offered as both a range-extended electric vehicle (EREV) and a battery-electric vehicle (BEV). The entry EREV model is the 200 Pro EREV, featuring a 28.39 kWh battery and a rear electric motor of 160 kW, delivering a pure electric range of about 200 km and a total range of about 1,200 km. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 7.2 seconds. The BEV lineup starts with the 530 Pro (56.83 kWh) delivering about 530 km of range, and the 620 Pro (70.26 kWh) delivering about 620 km of range; both use a single rear electric motor (160 kW for the 530 Pro and 200 kW for the 620 Pro). The top trim, 540 AWD Max, adds all‑wheel drive with two motors (combined 400 kW) and can reach 0–100 km/h in about 3.9 seconds, with an estimated 540 km of range.

Exterior and interior design emphasize a five‑meter length, a drag coefficient of 0.268, slim headlights, matrix taillights, and hidden door handles integrated with lighting. The car can be equipped with 20‑ or 21‑inch wheels. Inside, there’s a large central screen, a digital instrument cluster, and wireless smartphone charging.

In summary, the eπ 008 offers flexible powertrains in a stylish mid-size SUV, with a top‑tier AWD variant delivering strong performance, while the EREV version emphasizes long total range. The model’s range spans up to about 1,200 km in EREV form and up to about 620 km in BEV form. It is also known by its other names, such as Yipai 008 and Dongfeng Ace 008.
