Nammi Vigo E2 vs E2+: what the extra Rs 6 lakh really buys
Wheels of Nepal · Last updated: · 9 min read
The Nammi Vigo E2+ costs Rs 6,00,000 more than the E2 (Rs 43,99,000 against Rs 37,99,000), and Dongfeng Nepal lists exactly two differences: a moonroof and 18-inch alloy wheels. The battery, motor, range, fast charging, safety tech, screens, size and warranty are the same. If you don't care about the glass roof or bigger wheels, the E2 is the same car for less.

The two differences, in one picture
Simplified drawing by Wheels of Nepal, based on Dongfeng Nepal's variant list.
Dongfeng Nepal's model page puts it in one line: the E2+ "comes with additional Moonroof & R18 Alloy Wheels". The brochure's specification table lists every other feature as standard (marked "S") and repeats that the E2+ adds the moonroof and 18-inch wheels.
| Vigo E2 | Vigo E2+ | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (indicative ex-showroom) | Rs 37,99,000 | Rs 43,99,000 |
| Moonroof | No | Yes |
| Wheels | 17-inch alloys, 215/60 R17 tyres | 18-inch alloys (tyre size not published) |
| Everything else | Same | Same |
Difference 1: the moonroof
A moonroof is a glass panel in the roof that lets light into the cabin. Dongfeng's own photos below show the Vigo's glass roof panel from inside; in Nepal, it comes only on the E2+. Dongfeng Nepal does not say whether the panel opens or how big it is, so ask to see it at the showroom.

Is it worth it? That is personal. A glass roof makes the cabin feel brighter and more open, which back-seat passengers and children often enjoy. On the other hand, in a Terai summer you may keep the shade closed most of the time. If you have never owned a car with one, sit in both versions before you decide.
Difference 2: 18-inch alloy wheels
Both versions have alloy wheels: the E2 rides on 17-inch alloys with 215/60 R17 tyres, and the E2+ gets 18-inch alloys, and Dongfeng Nepal does not publish its tyre size. Bigger wheels fill the wheel arches and make an SUV look more planted, which is mostly a style choice.
Dongfeng calls the Vigo's wheel design the "Kinetic Shield Hub". Dongfeng does not say which variant this photo shows. · Image: Dongfeng official
Two practical points:
- Range: the brochure gives one range figure for the Vigo, 350 km (WLTP), and no separate figure for the E2+.
- Spare tyre: the brochure says "R17 spare tyres available as an option", so ask the dealer what spare comes with your car, especially on the E2+ with its 18-inch wheels.
Everything that stays the same
This is the part that makes the E2 such good value: you lose nothing that matters for driving, charging or safety.
| Same on both versions | Vigo E2 and E2+ |
|---|---|
| Battery | 51.87 kWh LFP |
| Motor | 99 kW permanent magnet synchronous |
| Range | 350 km (WLTP comprehensive) |
| DC fast charging | up to 167 kW, 18 minutes to 80% |
| Ground clearance | 190 mm |
| Length / wheelbase | 4,306 mm / 2,715 mm |
| Boot | 572 litres, dual-section ("Heaven & Earth") tailgate |
| Driver assistance | DJI-powered Level 2 ADAS: adaptive cruise, AEB, lane keeping, traffic sign recognition |
| Cameras | 360° camera, front and rear radar |
| Screens | 12.8-inch centre screen, 8.88-inch digital instruments |
| Comfort | Heated and ventilated seats with memory, wireless phone charging, CarPlay |
| Brakes and suspension | Discs all round, McPherson front, torsion beam rear |
| Warranty | 8 years / 2,00,000 km on battery and motor; optional paid 11 years / 2,50,000 km |

What else could the Rs 6 lakh do?
Rs 6,00,000 is about 16% of the E2's price. Here is what that money means in other terms:
- Home charging: at the NEA domestic tariff of Rs 11 per unit above 250 units a month, plus 5% VAT (Rs 11.55 a unit), filling the 51.87 kWh battery from empty costs about Rs 599. Rs 6 lakh pays for about 1,000 full charges, roughly 3.5 lakh km at the WLTP range (fewer once you add charging losses of around 10–15%).
- Your loan: Nepal Rastra Bank caps vehicle loans at 60% of the price, so the E2+ needs Rs 2.4 lakh more down payment and a Rs 3.6 lakh bigger loan.
| At the 60% loan limit | Vigo E2 | Vigo E2+ | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Rs 37,99,000 | Rs 43,99,000 | Rs 6,00,000 |
| Down payment (40%) | Rs 15,19,600 | Rs 17,59,600 | Rs 2,40,000 |
| Largest loan (60%) | Rs 22,79,400 | Rs 26,39,400 | Rs 3,60,000 |

How the two Vigos sit against rivals
The Rs 6 lakh jump also moves the Vigo into a different price group. The E2 sits right next to the Tata Punch.ev and Kia Syros EV. The E2+ costs the same as the MG S5 EV's starting version and is close to the BYD Atto 2.
| Kia Syros EV HTK | 37.9 lakh |
|---|---|
| Nammi Vigo E2 | 37.99 lakh |
| Tata Punch.ev Empowered+ S 40 | 37.99 lakh |
| Nammi Vigo E2+ | 43.99 lakh |
| MG S5 EV Comfort 49 kWh | 43.99 lakh |
| BYD Atto 2 Essential | 45.95 lakh |

The Vigo has the biggest battery in this group at 51.87 kWh, so the E2 in particular gives a lot of battery for the money. Note that the claimed ranges use different tests, so they are not directly comparable. Our Syros EV vs Punch.ev vs Vigo comparison and range test guide explain the details.

What we like
- E2: the same battery, range, charging, ADAS and warranty for Rs 6 lakh less
- E2: lower down payment (Rs 15.20 lakh at the 60% loan limit)
- E2+: moonroof brightens the cabin, especially for rear passengers
- E2+: 18-inch alloys give a sportier look
What could be better
- E2: no glass roof
- E2+: Rs 6 lakh more for two features that don't change how far or how fast it charges
Buy the E2 if you want the Vigo for what it does: a big 51.87 kWh battery, 350 km WLTP range, fast charging, Level 2 ADAS and a 572-litre boot. That's most buyers, and the saving is large.
Buy the E2+ if the glass roof and bigger wheels matter to you and the extra Rs 6 lakh fits your budget comfortably. Families who like a bright, airy cabin will get the most from it.

What is the difference between Nammi Vigo E2 and E2+?
Only two things: the E2+ adds a moonroof and 18-inch alloy wheels (the E2 has 17-inch alloys with 215/60 R17 tyres). Dongfeng Nepal lists the same battery, motor, range, charging, safety features, screens and warranty for both.

Do the Vigo E2 and E2+ have the same range?
