Dongfeng applied for sales license for Mammoth M-Hero M800。This is a 5..2 meter long EREV (extended range electric vehicle) SUV, equipped with 1.5-liter internal combustion engine and CATL ternary battery。It will be the second model of the M-Hero brand。Let us know more about it。

M-Hero is a high-end new energy vehicle brand owned by Dongfeng Motor。It is derived from the series of armored military vehicles。Dongfeng still sells road-certified versions of these gasoline-powered beasts under its own name。But Dongfeng developed the M-Hero brand to sell trendy electric cars and range extenders。The new brand is globally oriented, targeting markets in Europe and the Middle East。The first model of the brand was the M-Hero 917 SUV。The car was launched in August this year.。Now, multi-energy is preparing to shake up the market with another model。

More on M-Hero M800

Earlier, M-Hero's product plans were leaked online, revealing the brand's intention to launch three models code-named M18-1, M18-2 and M18-3.。All of these models have electric cars and EREV powertrains to choose from。Its assembly process is located at the Dongfeng plant in Wuhan。The company plans to produce 5,000 M18-1 and 15,000 M18-2 models per year.。As for the M18-3, it is planned to be launched in 2026。

The second M-Hero model M800 is consistent with the M-Hero 917 in appearance and shape, with many sharp lines。But it has a smaller grille and a larger overhang。There is an unmanned helipad on the roof。Its size is also larger than the M-Hero 917, which is 5136 / 2172 / 2063 mm (917 is 4987 / 2080 / 1935 mm)。But the wheelbase of these two cars is similar, both are 2950 mm。However, the M800 uses a four-seat internal layout。This shows that it is not designed for off-road, but for drivers traveling in the city。

The approach angle and departure angle of this new off-road vehicle are 24 degrees and 30 degrees respectively。This is not impressive because the approach angle of M-Hero 917 is 31 degrees / 31 degrees。The front and rear track of M800 is 1755 mm。This SUV has a front wheel size of 275 / 65 R20 and a rear wheel size of 295 / 60 R20。Its curb weight is 3270 kg and its total weight is 3740 kg。

Under the hood, the M-Hero M800 carries a 1.5-liter gasoline internal combustion engine with a maximum power of 197 horsepower。It does not transmit any torque to the wheels, just like a generator。The M800 may share the same powertrain as the M-Hero 917。It consists of three electric engines with a total power output of 816 horsepower。They are powered by CATL's ternary (NMC) battery pack。

The price of the M-Hero M800 will be higher than the 917 model because of its larger size and four-seater layout。In the future, the electric version of the M800 will also be put on the market。Therefore, its selling price will be RMB 700,000 (9.$770,000) or so。We will continue to focus on the M800。Please look forward to!
