The M-Hero M817 (Chinese: 猛士M817; pinyin: Mengshi M817) is a full-size luxury SUV manufactured by the Dongfeng Motor Corporation under the M-Hero brand. It is the second vehicle in the M-Hero lineup. It was launched in May of 2025.

Overview

[edit]

The M-Hero M817 is a plug-in hybrid full-size SUV designed for off-roading. The design language is similar to the M-Hero 917. It was first previewed at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show.[1] The production version was unveiled at Auto Shenzhen on May 31st, 2025.[2]

Powertrain

[edit]

The M817 uses a plug-in hybrid powertrain instead of an extended range powertrain used in the 917. Electric motors are present on both axles, giving the M817 all-wheel-drive. The motors work alongside a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4.[3]
