We recently spent some time behind the wheel of the JMC Vigus 2.5TD 6-Speed Manual.

It’s a straightforward workhorse aimed at buyers who need a bakkie that can get the job done, but there’s more to the Vigus than just its payload and diesel engine.

We take a closer look at its design, interior, practicality, driving experience and what it’s like living with this single-cab bakkie on the road.

So, how does the Vigus stack up against the competition?
