Verdict
At RM108,888, the Dongfeng Vigo costs RM2,088 more than the RM106,800 Jetour Dashing. The Vigo brings an electric motor rated at 161 hp and 230 Nm, a 51.87-kWh battery, 380-km range and 167-kW DC charging, plus autonomous braking and steering lane keeping. The Dashing counters with a 154-hp/230-Nm 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, 57-litre tank, multi-link rear suspension and a body 284 mm longer. For Malaysian buyers able to charge regularly, the Vigo is the better-equipped choice; the Dashing suits petrol refuelling and a larger footprint.
Pick the Dongfeng Vigo if you can charge an EV regularly and want 380 km of rated range, 167-kW DC charging, curtain airbags and active safety assistance.
Pick the Jetour Dashing if you prefer a 1.5-litre turbo petrol SUV with a 57-litre tank, multi-link rear suspension and a 4,590-mm-long body.
