Mengshi M817 Launches at RMB 319,900–349,900

Mengshi M817 Officially Launches on August 17, Priced from ¥319,900 to ¥349,900 with Limited-Time Complimentary Options

Jointly developed by Mengshi Technology and Huawei, the new Mengshi M817 embodies the ethos of “Iron-blooded Warrior x Full-blooded Huawei,” highlighting its core strengths. Beyond inheriting Mengshi’s rugged off-road DNA, the M817 integrates Huawei’s full suite of intelligent technologies, elevating the hardcore SUV experience.

Design & Versions

Measuring 5,100 × 1,998 × 1,899 mm with a 3,005 mm wheelbase, the M817 features an armored-inspired design. Two distinct versions cater to varied preferences:

• Off-Road Edition: Equipped with black front/rear bumpers and an externally mounted spare tire, emphasizing its rugged character.
• Urban Edition: Boasts refined details and color schemes, offering a unique statement for city driving.

Interior & Intelligence

Inside, the M817 juxtaposes its tough exterior with sophisticated luxury. Rich tan leather upholstery dominates the cabin, while an optional mint-green interior adds vibrancy.

Powered by Huawei’s HarmonyOS cockpit, the M817 delivers top-tier intelligence. Its advanced human-machine interaction and voice control are complemented by the Huawei Qiankun ADS 4.0 driver-assist system (demo unit featured ADS 3.3). This system employs cutting-edge hardware:

• 1 × 192-line front lidar
• 3 × 4D imaging radars
• 12 × ultrasonic sensors
• 11 × high-definition cameras

In highway testing, ADS capably handled adaptive cruise control, automated ramp navigation, and responded promptly to lane encroachments with alerts or braking.

Performance & Efficiency

A 1.5T range-extender paired with dual electric motors generates 505 kW (678 hp) and 848 N⋅m torque. The 31.7 kWh CATL battery enables a 0–100 km/h sprint in 5.2 seconds despite its ~3-ton curb weight. Instant electric torque ensures responsive acceleration across all speeds. The M817 achieves a CLTC-rated range of 1,300 km, with a fuel consumption of just 7.24 L/100 km in range-extending mode—ideal for off-road enthusiasts mindful of daily costs.

Driving Dynamics

Despite its size and weight, the M817 remains agile in urban settings. Its CDC adaptive damping suspension minimizes body roll during lane changes and high-speed cornering, enhancing stability and confidence.

Off-Road Prowess

The distributed decoupled four-wheel-drive system and class-leading specs—including a 150 mm adjustable air suspension (high trim)—deliver exceptional capability:

• Approach angle: 37.7°
• Departure angle: 37°
• Breakover angle: 27.3°
• Ground clearance: 333 mm
• Wading depth: 900 mm

In off-road testing, the M817 conquered cross-axle traps and washboard terrain with ease. Rear-wheel steering (up to 20°) enables a 5.2-meter turning radius, reducible to 3.5 meters using the tank turn feature for tight trails.

Accessibility

Nine drive modes—including six terrain-specific off-road settings, two on-road modes, and an intelligent one-touch mode—empower novices to tackle advanced trails effortlessly, leveraging the M817’s robust power and traction.
