On July 17, the "Inspiring Moment – JF-M817 Technology Release & Pre-sale Launch" event was grandly held in Wuhan. Dongfeng Mhero Technology and Huawei jointly released the "Luxury Intelligent Off-road Technology Solution" tailored for the JF-M817, encompassing three core technology clusters: "Full-stack Huawei, All-terrain Access, and All-dimensional Safety", demonstrating powerful leading capabilities. The luxury intelligent off-road SUV JF-M817 officially started pre-sales, offering two versions: JF-M817 Pro and JF-M817 Max.

In the face of the intelligent wave in the automotive industry, Dongfeng Mhero Technology and Huawei have joined forces to integrate Huawei's leading "full-stack" technologies into Mhero's rugged DNA, creating a harmonious "symphony" of intelligent off-roading. The JF-M817 achieves an intelligent revolution in driving experience through Huawei's world-leading intelligent automotive solutions, including Qiankun Intelligent Driving HUAWEI ADS 4, HarmonyOS Cockpit 5, Qiankun Vehicle Cloud, and Qiankun Vehicle Control, making driving easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

At the event, four core technologies of the JF-M817 – "Rock-solid Chassis, Mhero Intelligent Off-road Terrain System, Extreme Power, and Battle Armor Body" – were officially unveiled. With a series of "class-exclusive" and "industry-leading" capabilities, they lay the technical foundation for "All-terrain Access and All-dimensional Safety", ensuring users can enjoy off-roading to the fullest with peace of mind.

Extreme Power: 11-mode Architecture Empowers All-scenario Driving

The JF-M817's "Extreme Power" features a 2-speed longitudinal 11-mode PHEV architecture, consisting of a front-mounted Mahle M off-road-specific engine + front motor 2-speed hybrid transmission, a rear motor with intelligent disconnection technology, and CATL off-road-specific batteries. Its key advantages include:

· 11 working modes: Supporting fuel, pure electric, plug-in hybrid, and extended-range modes, intelligently switching to the optimal power mode according to different scenarios to achieve "one vehicle, multiple capabilities".

· Impressive performance parameters: A maximum comprehensive power of 505kW and comprehensive torque of 848N・m, delivering 5-second acceleration from 0 to 100km/h; a wheel-side torque exceeding 11,000N・m ensures capability in complex terrains.

· Efficient energy consumption: A CLTC comprehensive range of 1,300km and a feed-in fuel consumption of only 7.24L/100km, balancing off-road performance and daily economy.

Battle Armor Body: All-dimensional Safety as the Bottom Line of Off-roading

The JF-M817 builds an "All-dimensional Safety" system with its "Battle Armor Body, off-road safety battery, and All-dimensional Collision Avoidance System CAS 4.0", providing robust protection everywhere:

· High-strength body structure: High-strength steel accounts for over 83.2% of the body, including up to 2000MPa hot-formed materials, with a structural length of 12.48m; the frame adopts an integrally formed closed-frame horizontal and vertical beam structure, ensuring no deformation during extreme off-roading.

· Innovative safety design: 2000MPa A-pillars with embedded hot-inflated tube beam structure, combined with the body structure, form a "safety fortress"; equipped with multiple safety backups such as automatic fuel cut-off/high-voltage shutdown, emergency door unlocking, and dual-motor disconnection independent drive technology, ensuring safety in emergencies.

Battery Safety: 10-layer Armor + Authoritative Certification

· Equipped with CATL off-road-specific batteries, adopting a 10-layer all-round armor protection system.

· The battery pack bottom guard is formed using 1300MPa integrated stamping technology, with strength far exceeding ordinary steel, ensuring the battery remains intact even when hit by sharp rocks.

· It has passed the C-NCAP NESTA six-dimensional safety certification, the most comprehensive and highest standard certification system for new energy electrical safety in the industry.

Active Safety: HUAWEI ADS 4 All-scenario Protection

Based on the HUAWEI ADS 4 All-dimensional Collision Avoidance System CAS 4.0, it provides full-speed, all-directional, all-target, all-weather, and all-scenario active safety protection, enhancing emergency response capabilities in scenarios such as sudden obstacles, sudden braking of preceding vehicles, and pedestrian-vehicle crossings.

MHERO "Full-sense Luxury": Rugged Exterior with Refined Interior

Tough on the outside, luxurious on the inside. The JF-M817's pioneering mecha-style cockpit features horizontal and vertical lines with an axisymmetric design, exuding a strong sense of the future; 91.2% of the interior is covered with soft materials, with large areas of Nappa leather, offering a luxurious touch everywhere; the studio-grade Dynaudio 18-speaker sound system and 256-color infinite ambient lighting enhance the travel ceremony; the intelligent cooling and heating refrigerator (-6℃ to 50℃) allows enjoyment of cold and hot drinks, ensuring high-quality experiences at all times.

In terms of body colors, the JF-M817 captures the grandeur of mountains and rivers in its paint options: Qinling Green, Yulong Silver, Mingsha Yellow, Caka Blue, Gezong Black, and Kunlun White, which echo the three interior themes of Yingsong Ink, Qingshan Dai, and Danxia Brown, perfectly integrating the landscape charm of Oriental aesthetics with Oriental off-road culture.

In terms of body dimensions, the JF-M817 has a length of 5100mm, a width of 1998mm, and an ultra-long wheelbase of 3005mm, assuming the posture of a "land first-class cabin" to dominate all terrains. The front and rear seats can be reclined to form a 1.7m standard double bed, and when the second row is fully down，it forms an over 2.1m comfortable bed with the trunk carpet. In terms of storage capacity, the JF-M817 has a trunk volume of 828L, which can be expanded to 2112L when the second row is folded down, accommodating large equipment such as bicycles and skis; 8 trunk fixing net buckles combined with the seat flattening design prevent items from moving during bumpy rides.

Compared with the previous Mhero M917, the M817 maintains the brand's rugged off-road performance while achieving a comprehensive upgrade in intelligent technology configurations. In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the M817's Qiankun Intelligent Driving HUAWEI ADS 4 system has more accurate road condition recognition and smoother assisted driving experience than the M917's system, providing more reliable support in complex off-road and urban road conditions. In terms of in-vehicle intelligent cockpit, the M817's HarmonyOS Cockpit 5 has a more intuitive interface and richer application ecosystem than the M917's cockpit system, bringing more convenient and interesting intelligent experiences to passengers. In terms of body size, the M817 has an increased length and wheelbase, with a more reasonable interior space layout, providing a more comfortable riding environment for both daily urban travel and long-distance off-road trips.

 The JF-M817 combines the comfort and intelligence of a city SUV, the powerful performance of an off-road vehicle, and the luxurious space of a camper van. With top-tier technology, it brings consumers a full intelligent off-road experience, opening a new era of Chinese luxury intelligent off-road SUVs.

Junfeng Company is also about to launch this product. Leveraging its rich experience in overseas market channel layout and localized operations, it will bring the JF-M817's rugged capabilities and intelligent technology to the global stage, helping this flagship model, which integrates "iron-blooded genes" and "intelligent innovation", explore new horizons in the international market, allowing global consumers to experience the unique charm of Chinese luxury intelligent off-roading.
