On November 17th, 2023, the 21st Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition was grandly opened in the Canton Fair Exhibition Hall. Known as "the first luxury electric off-road vehicle in China", it made its debut at the Warriors Technology booth in Hall 17.2, Zone D, New Energy Exhibition Area of Guangzhou Auto Show.
At this year’s Chengdu Auto Show, Warrior 917 was officially listed, with the official guide price of 637,700 yuan and 697,700 yuan. The original version of Warrior 917, the official guide price was 678,000 yuan and 739,000 yuan. At present, the new car has fully entered the user delivery stage. At this Guangzhou Auto Show, Warrior 917 exhibited five Warrior 917s, namely, exhibition cars equipped with three official optional kits, namely, Weekend Warrior, Desert Falcon and Wilderness City, and two models with official color change schemes.
In terms of appearance, the new car has greatly restored the design language of the concept car, and the angular lines are very mechy. Looking from the front, the new car adopts a flat hexagonal air intake grille, and the interior of the middle net is decorated with wavy decorative strips. The large-size brand LOGO is embedded in China Net, which is very domineering. The design of the new car also incorporates a large number of ancient weapon elements. For example, the unique LED daytime running lights are inspired by the ancient weapon-Ge.
The sharp waistline design on the side of the new car creates a good dynamic effect, and the rough wheel eyebrows and side pedals indicate that the new car will have good off-road ability. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the new car are 4987/2080/1935mm and the wheelbase is 2950mm respectively.
Warrior 917 offers a variety of wheels to choose from. There are two options for the pure electric version, namely, 20-inch aluminum alloy rim with HT tire and 20-inch forged rim with AT tire. On the basis of the pure electric vehicle, the extended-range version can also choose the combination of 20-inch forged rim +AT tire and 20-inch anti-drop tire +AT tire.
In terms of the rear end, the new car also uses many sharp line designs, which has a strong sense of hierarchy. The shape of the taillight of the new car originated from the ancient weapon-Ge, and at the same time, it was blackened and dynamic. It can be seen that the trunk door of the new car adopts a side-opening mode and an oversized spare tire box is hung, which are the classic design elements of high-end hard-core SUV.
The pure electric model can be equipped with a roof expansion platform, including a luggage rack with a weight of 150 kg, an 80W overhead light with an irradiation distance greater than 300 meters and a boarding ladder. In addition, it can also be equipped with a simulated exhaust sound and an Oriental Hawkeye intelligent drone system. On the basis of the pure electric version, the extended range version can also be equipped with an electric winch (provided by T-MAX, supporting wireless remote control and supporting 12500ibs specifications) and a full-size spare tire.
Although the Warrior 917 is a model with a hard-core style, the interior layout has a strong sense of science and technology. Its center console consists of a full LCD instrument, a large-size central control panel and a co-pilot entertainment screen, and is matched with a two-color splicing decorative panel, which has excellent texture. In detail, the new car also incorporates many innovative elements, such as the shift area similar to the yacht throttle, the gear selection on the left side and the driving mode option on the right side, which has a strong sense of ceremony when operating.
In terms of power, under the blessing of M TECH, a warrior intelligent off-road architecture composed of three hard-core technology clusters: MORA, MEGA POWER and M, Warriors 917 integrates the core advantages of "super platform, super power and super off-road" and becomes a veritable new off-road species. Warrior 917 will provide both pure electric and extended range power specifications. The former adopts four motors, the maximum output power reaches 800kW, the peak torque is 1400N·m, the wheel torque exceeds 16000N·m, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 4.2 seconds, while the latter adopts three motors layout, with a pure electric battery life of 156 kilometers and a comprehensive battery life of 825 kilometers.
In addition, the new car will have L3 intelligent driving assistance system to support high-speed, elevated autopilot navigation; Automatic driving and piloting in urban areas. It will also be equipped with technologies such as flying with unmanned aerial vehicle, reverse charging, parking service and crab walking mode.
As a new off-road species, Warrior 917 uses a large number of subversive technological innovations, from the technical route to the development landing, and then to the test and verification. Warrior 917 dares to break into the technical no-man’s land and realize the integration of the off-road technology of Warrior military vehicles and the electric intelligent technology. The calibration and verification cycle lasts for 24 months, covering 9 typical off-road roads, 100+ times of software strategy optimization and iteration, and the all-terrain test system of military standard level, which makes the warrior 917 have reliable quality that can stand the test.
Since October, 2021, Mengshi Technology has successively invested more than 1,500 R&D personnel and more than 300 Mengshi 917 vehicles to complete the reliability and durability verification of the whole vehicle in cross-altitude, cross-region, cross-climate and full working conditions, covering 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, covering more than 99.5% of user usage scenarios.
At the same time, Warrior 917 is the first in the industry, and it has passed the four-round verification of the national reliability and durability standard for 1 million kilometers of military off-road vehicles, covering the high temperature, high cold and high plateau tests of military off-road vehicles, and verifying the vehicle’s ability to cope in extreme environments.
From the ice and snow at MINUS 40 degrees to the desert Gobi at 60 degrees, from the cold region to the plateau, from Mohe to Turpan, from the harsh working conditions of off-road venues to the opening of roads in the whole scene, Warrior 917 has traveled all over most of China, and has withstood the extremely severe working conditions such as continuous acceleration and deceleration of the Flame Mountain for 3 hours in summer, continuous direct extraction of Tengger desert sinkholes for more than ten times in summer, and direct extraction of Bilutu Peak in Badain Jilin desert for more than five times in summer.
It is worth mentioning that the Warrior 917 is the first new energy vehicle in the industry to successfully cross the border secret line of National Highway 219, Dahai Road and Keriya Ancient Road. Up to now, Warriors 917 has accumulated more than 6 million kilometers of off-road reliability and durability verification, which has been verified by real-world targeted tests to improve the off-road reliability and fault tolerance of the core system.
Weekend warriors, presenting wild luxury camping imagination, side awning, tailgate table board and mounting space, make leisurely life close to nature. When electric energy lights up the whole camp and gives the body and mind to nature, a unique meditation journey will begin.
The falcon in the desert is the representative of the hard-core desert crossing, with all kinds of anti-tripping wheels, winches and multifunctional flagpole supports, showing the off-road passion of rolling blades and foaming at the mouth.
The city of the wilderness represents the enthusiasm of being ready to leave at all times. Forged wheels are more textured, and the six-piston red brake calipers customized by Brebo are more sporty and bring a full sense of security.
In addition, two exhibition cars with camel color and gray official color change scheme are selected, which intuitively presents the visual effect of Warrior 917 personalized color customization scheme.
Not only the technology and testing of hard-core rationality, but also the off-road ecological layout with temperature and style. Warriors have built an immersive off-road experience center in the park, set up a complete and systematic off-road course, and built a variety of standardized off-road scenes. At present, more than ten professional off-road bases have been signed in the country, which will provide users with the ultimate world-class oriental off-road experience. With the deepening and future development of user delivery, Warrior, as the leader of the first year of luxury electric off-road in China, is bringing the world-class oriental off-road experience to all pioneers who love off-road and outdoor in their own way.
