The new JMC Vigus Pro represents a new value proposition among pick-up trucks sold in Malaysia.
JMC Vigus Pro Developed with Premium Engineering
Angka-Tan Motor Sdn Bhd (ATM) is challenging the status quo in the popular one-tonne pick-up truck segment with the all-new JMC Vigus Pro – a 4WD pick-up truck that’s stylish, versatile, yet surprisingly affordable.
Starting at RM 98,888 on the road, excluding insurance for Peninsular Malaysia and RM100,888 for East Malaysia, the Vigus Pro represents a new value proposition among pick-up trucks sold in Malaysia.
“We at Angka-Tan Motor are thrilled to welcome a new brand and an all-new model. The JMC Vigus Pro is a stylish and versatile pick-up truck developed with premium engineering. Whether it’s for work or play, the Vigus Pro is ready to meet the demanding requirements of pick-up truck users in Malaysia after proving itself as the second best-selling pick-up truck in the Chinese market,” said Tan Keng Meng, CEO of Warisan TC Holdings Bhd and Executive Director of Angka-Tan Motor.
Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged Puma diesel engine, the Vigus Pro features a high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system, variable geometry turbocharger, intercooler and EGR cooler bypass valve to produce an output of 141PS at 3,600rpm and 340Nm from 1,500rpm to 2,600rpm. It is mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission.
In the Vigus Pro, the 8-speed automatic is operated through an electronic gear selector with manual shift mode function. This refined powertrain returns excellent fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km (UNECE R101 testing), making the Vigus Pro one of the most fuel-efficient one-tonne pick-up trucks currently sold in Malaysia.
Other features include slim headlamps, plus a distinctive C-shape LED daylights, a lower bumper guard, 3D tail lamps and an integrated high-mount third brake lamp. The vehicle also has side steps, auto-folding wing mirrors with LED indicators, two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels, an electronic gearshift selector, an 8-inch colour touch-screen, and other useful features.
Superior Traction
To ensure stability on various challenging surfaces, the Vigus Pro is built on a robust ladder frame capable of a maximum load of 850kg. The rigid structure is also designed to absorb impact forces in the event of a crash. The front suspension is a fully-independent double-wishbone design with a reinforced stabiliser bar, where the rear rests on a solid axle with leaf springs for superior load-bearing capability and durability.
The off-road performance of the Vigus Pro is governed by a 4WD system developed by BorgWarner. Users can switch between 2WD, 4WD and low-range 4WD modes via a rotary dial to cater to changing surface conditions. The rear axle is also fitted with an Eaton limited-slip differential lock which can channel torque to the wheel with superior traction when wheel slippage is encountered.
Additionally, the Vigus Pro is also equipped with Hill Descent Control which automatically modulates the braking of vehicles when going downhill on steep slopes (up to 8km/h), thus allowing the driver to focus on manoeuvring the truck. Other features such as Hill Start Assist, ABS with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution and the Electronic Stability Program with Traction Control also come standard on the Vigus Pro.
Covered by a 3-year/100,000km warranty, whichever comes first, the Vigus Pro is available in four different colours – Steady Brown, Solid White, Brilliant Silver and Glossy Black.
“The past 18 months have been a challenging period for everyone, and we are grateful for the co-operation and support accorded to us by Jiangling Motors Company (JMC) as well as the Tan Chong Group in making the JMC Vigus Pro a reality. Additionally, we would like to express our gratitude and congratulate Mayflower Car Rental Sdn Bhd for becoming our pilot fleet customer with an initial order of 30 units of the Vigus Pro. Their trust and confidence is a strong testament to the Vigus Pro and ATM,” said Tan.
“When Angka-Tan Motor first approached and worked with us, we were quickly convinced by the Vigus Pro’s attractive styling and premium features. We had no hesitation in placing an order for 30 units to add to our growing fleet of high-quality vehicles,” added Abdul Rahman Mohamad, General Manager of Mayflower Car Rental.
The JMC Vigus Pro is locally assembled at the modern Tan Chong Motor plant in Serendah, Selangor. It is now offering viewing and test drives across 13 ATM dealerships across the nation with a complementing network of 13 aftersales services workshops.
New vehicle deliveries to customers are expected to commence at the end of October 2021.
