Dongfeng Motor Pakistan is preparing to expand its local electric vehicle portfolio with the anticipated launch of the Dongfeng Vigo Electric SUV.
After successfully introducing an electric hatchback and an electric sedan, the company now appears ready to step into the increasingly popular electric SUV segment—a move that could reshape choices for Pakistani EV buyers.
The excitement began when Dongfeng teased an upcoming electric SUV on its official social media channels.
While the company has not yet revealed the model name locally, industry watchers strongly believe the spotlight is on the Dongfeng Vigo, a compact electric SUV already available in international markets.
The teaser’s bold messaging suggests that something powerful and modern is heading to Pakistani roads.
What Can Pakistani Buyers Expect?
Although official local specifications are still under wraps, the globally available Dongfeng Vigo provides strong clues about what may be offered in Pakistan.
Internationally, the Vigo is positioned as a compact, fully electric SUV designed for urban mobility, while still offering enough range for longer highway journeys.
The global variant delivers a claimed driving range of up to 471 kilometers, making it suitable for daily commuting as well as intercity travel.
Power comes from a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor paired with a front-wheel-drive system.
This setup produces 99 kW (134 horsepower) and 230 Nm of torque, allowing the SUV to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in roughly 9.5 seconds—smooth, responsive, and ideal for city conditions.
Charging, Battery, and Safety Features
One of the Vigo’s biggest highlights is its 51.87 kWh LFP battery, which supports DC fast charging up to 167 kW and AC charging at 6.6 kW.
Under ideal conditions, fast charging can reportedly take the battery from low to 80 percent in just nine minutes, a feature that could be a game-changer for Pakistani EV users. The inclusion of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality further boosts its everyday practicality.
Battery safety has also been given serious attention. Internationally, the Vigo has undergone rigorous testing, including puncture resistance, vibration endurance, extreme temperature exposure, and high-altitude trials—simulating up to 200,000 kilometers of real-world use.
Interior Tech and Comfort
Inside, the Vigo offers a modern and premium cabin experience. Features include 256-color ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, 50W wireless phone charging, and a 12.8-inch infotainment display. Advanced sound insulation reportedly keeps cabin noise as low as 18 dB, ensuring a quiet and comfortable ride.
What’s Next for Pakistan?
With Pakistan’s electric SUV market growing rapidly, the Dongfeng Vigo could become a strong contender—especially if it launches with competitive pricing and similar specifications.
