Why do you often see long-distance riders on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line choosing off-road vehicles with slightly larger appearance sizes? In fact, the reason is very simple, most of the body of this type of model is non-load-bearing design, which is more durable than the general family SUV, and the view of the cockpit is usually very good, the key is that the rear space and trunk are also larger than SUVs of the same level, and you can take friends and family to distant places.
If the budget is sufficient, the Dongfeng Mengshi 917 may be a good choice, the new car offers a pure electric version and an extended range version, the appearance size is two levels higher than the common compact SUV, belongs to the medium and large size, the price starts at 637,700 yuan, the threshold is relatively high.
In terms of appearance, the hexagonal front grille occupies the visual center of the front of the car, the three-dimensional sense is very obvious, the LED lighting headlights are integrated in the "X" headlights on both sides, the design of the light slotting is like a "scar", the raised hood rib line is like a burst of green ribs, and two triangular vents are also designed directly above the engine compartment cover. The front bumper is made of rare metal, which provides good protection and is equipped with LED auxiliary lights, which can be used to pave light on the road at night.
Not only is the appearance design tough and the materials used are solid, but the Mengshi 917 has also launched a more collectible "joint version" official reform set. Take the Mengshi 917 "Jiaolong Armor" as an example, the new car and the movie "Jiaolong Action" jointly launched, the appearance of the vehicle is painted with yellow camouflage, in addition to the large ventilation slots in front of the front of the car, it is also equipped with an aluminum-magnesium alloy bumper with a high level of protection, plus the use of aviation-grade carbon fiber material, which further improves the overall off-road performance.
At the same time, the new car also uses an unconventional wheel design, with a shiny turbine shape and a straight and stiff waistline that enhances the vehicle's identity. The doors are articulated with hinges to give them a wild and powerful look. On the roof, in addition to the new-generation luggage rack that strengthens the load-bearing capacity, the new car also features a silver paint style, which is interspersed with a yellow body paint style, highlighting the clear layering of lines.
Sitting in the car, the off-white contrasting interior looks more stylish, and the overall feeling of wrapping is strong. The central control screen and LCD instrument use a conventional distributed design, the co-pilot side is also equipped with an entertainment screen, all the positions within reach are covered with soft materials, the car is almost odorous, and the seats are wrapped in Nappa leather material, giving people a simple and not simple atmosphere as a whole. In particular, the exaggerated shape of the horizontal grip push rod type electronic gear handle, engraved with gear information, every time you push, you can clearly see the change of the current gear through the gear window, the right side of the gear handle supports the switching of driving mode, this sense of control is like driving a multi-functional armored car, very avant-garde. At the same time, this car is not lagging behind in terms of comfort configuration, with seat heating/ventilation/massage as standard, and the front seats are also equipped with leg rests for long-distance travel, which is still rare in hardcore off-road bodies.
At the power level, the Mengshi 917 provides two power systems: pure electric and extended range, the maximum output of the pure electric version is 800kW, and the peak torque is 1400N·m, which is comparable to the power performance of the V12 internal combustion engine, and the pure electric drive does not need to be fueled, and the pure electric version can run 505 kilometers (CLTC working condition) when fully charged. The maximum power of the extended range version is 600kW, and the peak torque is 1050N·m. In addition to high ground clearance and excellent approach and departure angles, the car is also equipped with magic carpet air suspension, the official package also provides nitrogen shock absorption, combined with the active steering system and wading sensing system throughout the car, the configuration of this car can be said to be mainstream in terms of off-road passability.
