When the Dongfeng VIGO goes on sale in February, it will be offered at an introductory price of $37,990 MSRP plus on road costs, available until the end of April 2026. This launch offer positions the VIGO as one of the best value electric SUVs in New Zealand. The offer also includes a complimentary large panoramic moon roof, valued at $1,500, delivering even greater value for early buyers.
The first shipment of VIGO vehicles is arriving soon, with customer deliveries scheduled for early February 2026. Customers can secure their vehicle now through their local Armstrong’s Dongfeng dealership.
Despite its compact footprint, the Dongfeng VIGO offers impressive interior space and practicality. A long 2,715 mm wheelbase allows for generous legroom for five occupants, while a total boot capacity of 500 litres ensures everyday usability without compromise. This smart design makes the VIGO well suited to both city driving and longer trips.
With exterior dimensions of 4,306 mm in length, 1,868 mm in width and 1,654 mm in height, the VIGO is easy to manoeuvre while still offering genuine SUV capability. Practical features such as the unique double split tailgate, rated to support up to 150 kg, and Vehicle to Load capability add to its versatility. For customers who enjoy weekend getaways, the VIGO also includes roof rails, a towing capacity of up to 750 kg and a dedicated camping mode that manages cabin temperature while providing continuous external power.
The exterior design of the Dongfeng VIGO reflects its confident SUV character. LED headlights, distinctive L shaped daytime running lights, aerodynamic wheels and semi hidden electronic door handles contribute to a clean, modern appearance. At the rear, the triangular crystal tower tail lights and split tailgate design reinforce the VIGO’s practical, lifestyle focused approach.
Inside, the VIGO features Dongfeng’s Rubik’s Cube design philosophy, creating a flexible and well considered cabin layout. Standard features include 18 inch alloy wheels, leatherette trim, electric front seats and a heated and ventilated driver’s seat with welcome function. Technology highlights include a 12.8 inch central touchscreen, an 8.8 inch digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging and ambient lighting with 128 colour options.
Power is provided by a 51 kWh battery, delivering a WLTP driving range of up to 340 km. Fast charging capability allows charging from 30 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes, making the Dongfeng VIGO well suited to daily commuting and longer journeys across New Zealand.
Customers can personalise their VIGO with a choice of six exterior colours, including Twilight White as standard, alongside Glacial Silver, Cyber Black, Sandy Yellow, Future Orange and Wild Green. Two interior trim options are also available at no additional cost.
Every Dongfeng VIGO sold at Armstrong’s Dongfeng is backed by a six year or 200,000 km vehicle warranty, an eight year or 200,000 km battery warranty and six years of roadside assistance, offering long term confidence and support.
With its five star NZTA safety rating, generous standard specification and highly competitive pricing, the Dongfeng VIGO sets a new benchmark for value in the electric SUV market. We look forward to welcoming customers into Armstrong’s Dongfeng to experience the VIGO for themselves.
