The M817 showcases MHERO’s “Toughness Aesthetics 2.0” design, featuring a trapezoidal LED light strip and an illuminated MHERO logo on the front, paired with headlamp units for a modern, tech-driven appearance. A silver off-road bumper with a 30-degree approach angle enhances its capability on rugged terrain. The SUV’s muscular side profile, measuring 5,100 mm long, 1,998 mm wide, and 1,899 mm high with a 3,005 mm wheelbase, creates a commanding presence. At the rear, cross-shaped taillights and an external storage pack emphasize its off-road character.
The interior blends minimalist design with durability, featuring a symmetrical layout and a large floating touchscreen on the center console. Below, piano-style physical buttons provide easy access to functions like climate control, complemented by a wireless charging pad, mechanical clock, and metal-finish grab handles for practicality and style.
“This vehicle combines rugged performance with cutting-edge technology, offering an exceptional driving experience,” said a MHERO Technology spokesperson. “Our collaboration with Huawei ensures the M817 meets the demands of modern off-road enthusiasts.”
The M817 is powered by a plug-in hybrid system, integrating a 1.5T engine with electric motors in a P1+P3+P4 electric all-wheel-drive architecture. This setup supports multiple modes, including pure electric, direct engine drive, parallel hybrid, range-extending generator, and regenerative braking. The system delivers 505 kW of power and 848 N·m of torque, achieving 0–100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, balancing efficiency with high performance.
The M817’s launch reflects MHERO Technology’s commitment to advancing new energy vehicles for challenging environments. By leveraging Huawei’s intelligent systems and Dongfeng’s manufacturing expertise, the SUV aims to meet growing consumer demand for sustainable, high-performance off-road vehicles in China and potentially beyond.
