In Belarus the price of this SUV is almost the same as in China
In Belarus, official sales of the brutal Dongfeng Mengshi M-Hero 917 SUV, which is called the «Chinese Hummer», have started. Interestingly, in the neighboring country the car turned out to be, one might say, cheap: for the hybrid version with an 816 hp power plant. they are asking for 330 thousand Belarusian rubles – approximately 9.2 million Russian rubles.
For comparison, in China they ask for an SUV from 637.7 to 678 thousand yuan (7.98-8.48 million rubles), and the price voiced by a representative of the official dealer «Avilon» the price of exactly the same car in Russia – 18 million rubles! With such a difference in cost, it makes sense to purchase the Mengshi M-Hero in a neighboring country; besides, it is sold by an official dealer – the one responsible for sales of Voyah cars in the Republic of Belarus.
The hybrid Mengshi M-Hero 917 has a 1.5-liter turbo engine, which has no connection with the wheels and is used exclusively to charge the traction battery, through which three electric motors are powered (one on the front axle, two & ;mdash; on the back). A heavy SUV accelerates to 100 km/h in 6 seconds, the range is according to the CLTC calculation method – 1026 km.
The purely electric Mengshi M-Hero 917 will also appear in Belarus, it will be more expensive. But this version will be more expensive in Russia – they will ask for 19.5 million rubles for it.
