The Dongfeng VIGO 51.87 kWh alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Dongfeng VIGO 51.87 kWh has a maximum power of 120 kW (163 hp / 161 bhp) and a total torque of 230 Nm (170 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 51.9 kWh and a net usable capacity of 50.0 kWh, with a 1.9 kWh buffer (3.6%) for battery protection.
The lithium-ion battery uses LFP technology, which has different characteristics from typical NCA and NMC batteries.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 340 km (211 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 339 km (211 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 14.7 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 14.7 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 167 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 66 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 25 minutes at an average power of 83 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 3–52%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 85 kW over a session lasting about 17 minutes and 20 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 21 minutes, needing seven charging stops from 3% to 52%, totaling 121 minutes of charging time.
