Launch price for Box

The Box enhanced model-year 2026 Box features a launch offer of $29,990 plus on-roads until the end of May when the price reverts to $32,990.

Dongfeng says it offers segment-leading EV range of 317km on the WLTP, a 12-inch touchscreen, heated and ventilated front seats, power driver’s seat, wireless phone charging, 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control and automatic parking.  

Extra airbags take the total to six consisting of front driver and passenger, two front side and two head front-rear curtains.

Simon Rutherford, chief executive of Armstrong’s Distribution Ltd, says the model-year 2026 builds on several areas including integrated AppleCar Play, three steering-variable profiles and a new green paint with white roof option, pictured.

“We have been able to negotiate extra stock and accelerate supply from Dongfeng,” he adds. “This means there will be a greater number of the new Box available even sooner. Given the increasing enquiry for EVs, we’re encouraging people to secure their new vehicle with a pre-order to ensure there are no delays.”
