Dongfeng Vigo vs Jetour Dashing
Verdict
The Dongfeng Vigo asks RM108,888, RM2,088 more than the RM106,800 Jetour Dashing, and swaps petrol for a 51.9 kWh battery with 380 km range. It is smaller outside but carries more luggage, with 500 litres versus 486 litres, and gets six airbags plus AEB where the Dashing has four airbags and no AEB specified. The Jetour counters with a bigger body, a 57-litre tank and a 7-year warranty against 6 years. Both are front-wheel-drive C-segment SUVs with RM120 road tax.
Pick the Dongfeng Vigo if you can charge at home or work and want 380 km EV range, a 500-litre boot, six airbags and AEB.
Pick the Jetour Dashing if you want petrol refuelling, the larger 4,590 mm body and a 7-year warranty for slightly less money.
