Chinese automotive giant Dongfeng Group, known for collaborations with Japanese brands like Honda and Nissan as well as European brands such as Renault and Peugeot, has introduced its Nammi brand in Nepal. The company officially launched the Nammi VIGO 06 (Nammi-06) today at the NADA Auto Show 2025 in Kathmandu, alongside the start of nationwide bookings.
We got the chance to test the Nammi-06 across different parts of Kathmandu, and the experience was impressive. Despite its boxy, off-road SUV design, being fully electric makes it feel light and easy to maneuver, almost like driving a compact car.
Design & Exterior
From the front and rear bumpers to the wheel arches and body cladding, the Nammi-06 gives off a strong off-road vibe. The unique “Heaven & Earth” themed tailgate adds a touch of character, while T-shaped LED headlamps and triangular pixel tail-lights complete its distinctive look. The SUV rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and comes with a panoramic sunroof for a premium touch.
Interior & Features
Inside, the cabin is modern, smart, and practical. Highlights include:
- Welcome & memory seats
- Music-synced ambient lighting
- Heated & ventilated driver’s seat
- 12.8-inch infotainment system and 8.8-inch digital cluster
- Wireless charging (50W)
- 36 storage spaces across the cabin
- One-touch rear seat fold and the ability to convert the front seats into a bed
- 500L boot space with a triple-layer design
Tech & Safety
The Nammi-06 is loaded with segment-first features such as:
