One of the most interesting new products of recent times, officially released on the Russian market, was the M-Hero SUV from the Chinese concern Dongfeng. Later, it should be joined by a pickup truck, and we decided to imagine what it will look like.
The year before last, Dongfeng launched a new brand in its home country, Mengshi, the first of which was an electrified SUV with the index 917. At the beginning of this year, the model reached Russia under the name M-Hero, intended for export markets. So far, it exists only as a classic SUV with a five-door body, but initially during the premiere of the brand, it was announced that a pickup with a double cabin would also appear. Considering that the M-Hero is largely based on the GMC Hummer EV electric SUV, it makes sense to add a second body variant of the American model to the range.

So far, there is only one picture of the side view of the future new product, published during the same premiere of the brand. It shows a pickup truck that looks much more like a cargo-passenger Hummer than an M-Hero. We made a version made in the style of the Chinese SUV itself. It received a significantly increased wheelbase and a large rear overhang, while the opening of the rear doors became even larger due to the expansion at the bottom.

The M-Hero SUV is built on a completely new modular frame platform called Mora (which stands for Mengshi Off-Road Architecture) with fully independent suspension and a rotating rear axle. In terms of dimensions, it is almost identical to the American GMC Hummer EV, the latter only has a noticeably longer wheelbase (3218 versus 2950 mm). The Chinese SUV can be fully electric with a powertrain consisting of four electric motors (one for each wheel) with a total output of 1088 hp and 1400 Nm of torque. There is also a hybrid 816-horsepower version with a 1.5 petrol engine designed to recharge a 65 kWh battery.

Today in Russia, the Chinese SUV is presented only in a hybrid version and in a single configuration, the cost of which is 14,490,000 rubles.
Recall that last year the Chinese showed another frame SUV under the Mengshi brand with a completely different design.
