2026 Dongfeng Vigo launched in Malaysia, from RM 101k – up to 471 km range, Rubik’s cube-inspired design
Central Auto Distributors (CADB) has launched the new Dongfeng Vigo, priced from RM 100,888, and available in only one variant. The Dongfeng Vigo is a fully electric B-segment SUV, set to compete against the BYD Atto 2. However, the Dongfeng Vigo missed out on tax incentives for fully imported CBU electric vehicles.
- Dongfeng Vigo – RM 100,888
- BYD Atto 2 – RM 100,000
Looking first at the powertrain, the Dongfeng Vigo is powered by a single front motor producing 161 PS and 230 Nm of torque, achieving 0 – 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. Battery capacity is at 51.87 kWh with an estimated range of 471 km. The Dongfeng Vigo takes only 18 minutes from 30% to 80% of DC fast charging, accepting up to 167 kW. A 6.6 kW of AC charging takes 9 hours to fully charge the 51.87 kWh battery pack.
Measuring at 4,306 mm long, 1,868 mm wide, and 1,645 mm tall, the Dongfeng Vigo is a fully electric B-segment SUV that sits between the BYD Atto 2 and BYD Atto 3 in size. The Dongfeng Vigo features a distinctive angular design, said to be inspired by the Rubik’s Cube. At a glance, the Dongfeng Vigo does take some styling cues from the Kia EV5.
