The Dongfeng Box may be small, but it comes packed with many great features, proving that good things do come in small packages.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get", goes the popular saying. Thankfully, there's no unpleasant surprises awaiting you with this box.

With its wide sweep of nifty features, its compact exterior dimensions, and its economical drivetrain, the Dongfeng Box wants to change how we take on our inner-city commutes. Sit up for this one: It could be your next electric supermini!

Sweet city slicker

Taking on tight city streets and tighter multi-storey carparks requires one nifty machine, and the Dongfeng Box fits the bill to a T.

Measuring it at just 4,030mm long and 1,810mm wide, the Dongfeng Box makes light work of any of Singapore's more challenging streets, ensuring that every drive remains a sweet experience.

But if you find yourself at an especially tricky situation, there's always help at hand. Just like your favourite chocolate bar hides a sweet caramel layer within, there's plenty of tech available under the charming sheet metal of this hatchback.

Easy peasy, and electric!

And when you take on the open road, the Dongfeng Box has more to offer.

Calorie-packed as any sweet treat ought to be, the compact body of the Dongfeng Box packs a not insignificant 42.3kWh battery that allows it to cover a total distance of 430km before needing to stop at a charger.

And with the ability to charge up from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes, you can expect to return to a car that is all set and ready to go, whether you've stopped a quick lunch date or a grocery run with the family!

Look to Dongfeng's Auto Park Technology, for example, should you need help to reverse into a parking lot. And to get you out of any sticky situation, the Box also comes with a 540-degree panoramic camera, so you know exactly how much space is available at every corner!

Speaking of which, the Dongfeng Box offers plenty of space for all your buddies as well. An electric drivetrain means that it can offer a generous 2,660mm-long wheelbase, despite its small exterior dimensions. And then there's the cabin's clever packaging, which ensures that those seated at the rear will have enough leg and head room alike.

But if it's just two in the car, they will also be able to make use of the Box's 180-degree Reclining Front Seats - perfect for taking a quick snooze when charging, or to simply lounge on at your favourite chill-out spot.

And while we are on the topic of charging up, you'll also be able to stay connected with all your friends, thanks to the Box's wireless smartphone charger. Because those precious moments are always sweeter when shared right?

As appealing as candy

And of course, the Box has the exterior charm to match its wide sweep of features. Look to its appealingly rounded silhouette and distinctive lights front and back, and the fact that it can be had in a total of eight candy-like and eye-catching colours, three of which can be had with a white contrasting roof to boot!

And when the sun sets, there's also a customisable ambient lighting system to play with, perfect for setting the mood and a great pairing with its 12.8-inch infotainment system complete with wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so you can easily navigate to wherever, all while jamming out to your favourite tunes.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Sgcarmart goes on an adventure!

    Gentlemen, start your engines… or perhaps you'd might want to get those electric motors purring!

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev

    Forget resolutions, just focus on starting fresh

    The start of a new year is always a happy time for me. Apart from gatherings and mini reunions, January is when I reflect on everything I've accomplished last year, while mentally noting the things I still need to work on. Resolutions, though, are not for me. While it's not wrong to list some and strive towards them like goals, I think making resolutions is not the optimal way for me to reach new milestones, because more often than not, they're declared 'in the moment'. Or worse, after you'
