Verdict
At RM108,888, the Dongfeng Vigo is RM30,912 cheaper and gives Malaysian buyers a 51.87-kWh battery, 380 km of stated EV range, 167-kW DC charging and 3.3-kW V2L. The GWM Haval H6 is the more capable all-rounder on paper: its 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time beats the Vigo’s 9.5 seconds, it has a 560-litre boot and multi-link rear suspension. But it is also 377 mm longer. Choose the Vigo for EV running and a smaller footprint; pay for the H6 if pace, cargo room and extra cabin equipment matter more.
Pick the Dongfeng Vigo if you can charge an EV and want 380 km of stated range, 167-kW DC charging and a RM30,912 lower entry price.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you need quicker 7.7-second acceleration, a 560-litre boot and the added flexibility of a petrol-hybrid powertrain.
