Mengshi M817 to Launch on June 27: 296 Upgrades Across Five Dimensions Redefine Luxury Off-Road

On June 27, the Mengshi M817 will officially launch in Wuhan. As the first mass-produced model co-developed with Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving, this luxury smart off-road SUV features 296 technical and equipment upgrades spanning six core dimensions: powertrain, chassis, intelligent driving, design aesthetics, comfort experience, and safety protection—where safety is treated as an independent capability system, underscoring its strategic priority.

Power & Charging: Plug-in Hybrid Benchmark for All-Scenario Power Stability

The new model features a 2.0T ‘Extreme Power’ powertrain delivering a combined output of 715 kW and peak torque of 1,241 N·m. Equipped with a 62.5 kWh battery pack, it achieves a CLTC pure-electric range of 301 km—the highest among plug-in hybrid off-roaders in its class—and a total range of 1,450 km, with a fuel consumption of just 6.99 L/100 km in charge-sustaining mode. Its key breakthrough is ‘industry-exclusive all-scenario power retention’: even during extended off-pavement traverses at sustained speeds of 115 km/h, the vehicle maintains stable battery charge—eliminating the high-load power depletion common in PHEV off-roaders. Leveraging an 800V high-voltage architecture and 6C ultra-fast charging, the battery recharges from 30% to 80% in under 10 minutes.

Chassis & Intelligent Driving: Urban Agility + Off-Road Reliability + Full-Range Intelligence

The chassis features the segment’s only 20° bidirectional rear-wheel steering (minimum turning radius: 5.2 meters) and dual-chamber air suspension with CDC adaptive damping control—balancing urban maneuverability with off-road capability and ride comfort. Nine drive modes, three mechanical locking differentials, and 900 mm wading depth form the foundation for all-terrain recovery.

For intelligent driving, the M817 debuts Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 and dual-path image-grade LiDAR, introducing a dedicated NCA Off-Road Edition that delivers seamless intelligent driving across urban, rural, and unpaved roads. The HarmonyOS Cockpit 6 integrates the ‘Xiao Yi’ off-road agent assistant and supports basic ‘Whale Fin Communication’ functionality—even without network connectivity.

Safety & Comfort: Triple-Layer Protection + Family-Friendly Off-Roading

Safety is built around the ‘Safety Iron Triangle’: military-grade armored body structure, CATL battery safety system, and Huawei CAS 5.0 comprehensive collision avoidance. This architecture has already passed extreme validation on SS5 and SS6—the ‘Double Demon Stages’ of the 2026 Taklimakan Rally—where factory-supported race teams achieved 100% finish rates and secured two championships and one runner-up position.

For comfort, the M817 introduces the industry’s first off-road-specific ‘Queen Co-Driver’ zero-gravity seat, full-function NAPPA leather seats, a fully flat-folding rear bench forming a 2.1-meter sleeping platform, 6 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) external power output, and a smart temperature-controlled refrigerator—systematically addressing long-standing family-travel shortcomings in hardcore off-roaders.

Design & Pre-Order: Eastern Aesthetics Realized; Final Pricing Announced June 27

Exterior design continues the ‘Heroic Soul’ aesthetic language, featuring an Eastern lion-inspired front fascia, ‘Cease Arms for Peace’ headlamps, and vertically oriented taillights evoking swords pointing skyward. New exterior color ‘Ulan Orange’ and interior ‘Rosy Glow Orange’ join a complete palette of six exterior and four interior color options. Pre-order starts at RMB 370,000, with four exclusive benefits valued at ~RMB 11,000—including deposit offset, limited-time paint discount, lifetime warranty on electric powertrain components, and five-year nationwide roadside assistance. All pre-order benefits expire on launch day.
