The M-Hero 917 from Dongfeng was finally launched in China. It is an off-road beast with BEV and EREV powertrain options and a peak power of 1,088 hp. Its electric version can run up to 505 km of a single charge. As for the EREV one, its mixed range reaches 1,032 km (CLTC). As for the starting price of the M-Hero 917, it is 637,700 yuan (87,500 USD). Let’s get to know it better.
For clarity, M-Hero is a high-end off-road brand under Dongfeng. After the launch of the civilian version Warrior (猛士, Mengshi) M50 ICE pickup truck, this company realized that people have a demand for these vehicles. As a result, Dongfeng developed two branches of Warrior cars. The first one comprises ICE vehicles with such models as M50 and MS600. The second one consists of BEVs and EREVs. This branch turned into an independent brand with the international name ‘M-Hero’.
We will remind you that the M-Hero 917 was revealed in August last year. In January 2023, it got the production permission from the Chinese Government. In April 2023, the production of this beast started in China. And four months after, the sales of the M-Hero 917 started in China.
In terms of exterior design, the M-Hero 917 is a brawny SUV with huge bumpers, noticeable ground clearance, short overhangs, a high bonnet line and sharp LED lights. As for the dimensions of this beast, they are 4987/2080/1935 mm with a wheelbase of 2950 mm. For a comparison, the 917 is 70 mm longer, 149 mm wider and 34 mm lower than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Despite its size, the M-Hero 917 has got only five seats inside.
Speaking about the interior design, the M-Hero is also quite interesting. It has three screens. The first of them is an LCD instrument panel. The second is the driver’s touch screen. And the third one is made for the front passenger. The M-Hero 917 has also got a wide center tunnel with a big gear shifter and a wireless phone charging pad. Mo..
