Verdict
Only RM1,092 separates the RM108,888 Dongfeng Vigo and RM109,980 Mitsubishi Xforce. The Vigo is the more complete choice on paper: its 161 hp, 230 Nm electric motor, 51.87 kWh battery and 380 km range sit alongside a 500-litre boot and 2,715 mm wheelbase. It also adds autonomous braking, lane-keeping steering correction and adaptive cruise control. The CKD Xforce answers with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, 42-litre tank, dual-zone climate control and a useful space-saver spare. Pick based on charging access, because the Vigo brings materially more car for almost the same money.
Pick the Dongfeng Vigo if you can charge an EV and want 380 km of stated range, a 500-litre boot and active safety systems including autonomous braking.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xforce if petrol refuelling, Malaysian CKD assembly, dual-zone air-con and a space-saver spare matter more than EV range and driver assistance.
