At this year’s Chengdu International Auto Show, Dongfeng Warriors Technology showcased several high-end custom models. They demonstrated their unique understanding of electric hardcore off-roading. They emphasized aesthetics, brand, performance, and individuality. Even in a hall filled with luxury cars, Dongfeng Warriors stood out. Today, we introduce the Warriors 917 Highland Lion Edition, a highly representative model.
The Mengshi 917 Highland Lion Edition is a powerful tool designed for off-road enthusiasts. After launching the Wilderness City, Desert Falcon, and Weekend Warrior modification kits, Dongfeng Mengshi Technology introduces the Mengshi 917 Highland Lion modification kit. This new kit meets users’ diverse and personalized needs.
The new “Rock Brown” mech armor features a “Rock Brown” base color. Its sides have contrasting black and gray lines. This design creates a strong mech armor vibe. The vehicle also includes 5mm thick high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloy bumpers. These bumpers effectively absorb impacts during off-road travel.
The new car features an aluminum-magnesium alloy underbody shield. The alloy thickness reaches 8mm. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, stone impact protection, bottoming out prevention, and sound insulation.
The irregular X-shaped daytime running light design is sharp. The vertical LED daytime running lights extend to both sides of the hood. The new car adds black metal protective bumpers to the exterior, based on the original 917 model.
The new car features sharp lines on the sides. It has a black, gray, and brown color scheme that creates a strong mech look. The dimensions are 4987 mm long, 2080 mm wide, and 1935 mm high. The wheelbase measures 2950 mm.
The Dongfeng Mengshi 917 Highlander Lion features a new generation roof platform. It supports a maximum weight of 150 kg. You can load bicycles, kayaks, and rooftop tents. The multifunctional rear tow hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 2.5 tons. It can tow RVs, motorcycles, and fishing boats.
The Dongfeng Mengshi 917 Highlander Lion features a spare tire bracket. This bracket attaches to the vehicle’s frame. It prevents damage to the tailgate. It also accommodates a full-size spare tire. The design links with the tailgate. Opening the door is quick and easy.
Like many rugged off-road vehicles, the new car emphasizes a blend of functionality, luxury, and intelligence in its interior. It lacks the traditional “rough” feel of classic off-roaders. Instead, it presents a unique and refined design.
The LCD instrument panel, central control screen, and passenger entertainment screen create a strong sense of technology. The gear lever and air conditioning area retain many physical buttons for off-road functions. The trim panels around the gear lever feature irregular patterns. The details are precise.
