Overview
Aimed at buyers who need a tough workhorse with modern driveline hardware, the Vigus Pro pairs a 2.0-litre turbo diesel with 139 hp and 340 Nm to a smooth 8-speed automatic and a BorgWarner-type 4x4 system with low range and an Eaton-branded rear differential lock. It sits on a ladder frame with 225 mm of ground clearance, rides on 265/70 R16 tyres, and quotes an efficient 7.8 L/100 km in mixed driving. In local context, grey and dealer-supplied units are appearing at roughly the mid-teens in millions of rupees, which undercuts many Japanese rivals while keeping key capability boxes ticked for rural roads, sites and weekend trails.

out of 5
For buyers who prioritise capability and value, the Vigus Pro makes a stronger case than its badge recognition might suggest. The mechanical package is its biggest asset: a widely used ZF 8-speed that shifts cleanly in traffic, a selectable 4x4 system with low range for soft sand or steep climbs, and an Eaton locking rear diff to haul out of ruts when one wheel unloads. These parts matter more in the real world than a spec sheet packed with digital aids you will rarely use at a work site. Fuel consumption claims are competitive for a body-on-frame double cab, and the ladder frame, disc brakes all round and 225 mm of clearance give confidence on broken tarmac and unpaved approaches. Off the job, the cabin is straightforward rather than plush, with an 8-inch screen and a reverse camera covering daily needs, plus rain-sensing wipers, auto lights and heated mirrors that are handy in wet weather. The trade-offs are clear: only two airbags and no ADAS features like AEB or lane keeping, halogen headlights, and a ride that stays on the firm side without load. Brand perception and resale are still maturing as more units enter the market. If your use case is mixed site duty, farm runs or adventure weekends, and you want proper low-range hardware without paying flagship money, the Vigus Pro earns a spot on the shortlist. Buyers who want a plush cabin, full ADAS and LED matrix lamps will be better served by pricier nameplates.

Exterior Design
Rather than chasing fashion, the Vigus Pro leans into a purposeful look that reads well in utility roles. The tall nose, broad grille and squared fenders give it a planted stance, and the details are simple to maintain. Halogen projector headlamps are paired with C-shaped daytime running lights, while 16-inch alloys on 265/70 tyres deliver sidewall depth that suits rougher roads. The bed is a practical square shape with a step bumper to ease access, and there is a high-mount stop lamp for better visibility. The package clears 225 mm, a helpful number when you meet spoil heaps or rutted approaches after rain. You also get proximity sensors front and rear, which is not common at this price point, and a reverse camera neatly integrated into the infotainment. On the flip side, those hoping for factory LEDs, larger wheels, or styling packages will find the catalogue conservative. The proportions are honest and the surfacing is clean, which makes touch-ups after site use less painful, but the visual drama seen in some lifestyle-skewed rivals is not the brief here. Overall, the exterior communicates durability and function first, with just enough modern cues to keep it current without adding cost or fragility.
