800,000 budget to buy high-end hard-core off-road, what would you choose?Even last year, foreign imported off-road vehicles led by Land Rover Defender would be the only choice for consumers.

However, now that the time has come to the end of 2023, domestic high-end off-road vehicles have also begun to roll up, of which a budget of 800,000 yuan to buy a Mengshi 917 is a good choice.

So the question is, with a budget of 800,000, who is more "hard" Land Rover Defender or Warrior 917?

In terms of appearance, the overall design of the Land Rover Defender is relatively traditional and retro, while the mecha style of the Warrior 917 can be said to be quite radical. Among them, the Land Rover Defender provides a total of three model versions with different body specifications, but the price is less than 800,000 yuan and only the 90 series models, so the professor is mainly aimed at this model.

The Defender 90 series is positioned as a short-axle version of the whole series, and its body length and wheelbase performance are relatively conservative. The length, width and height of the body are only 4583mm, 2105mm, 1969mm, and the wheelbase is only 2587mm. The length, width and height of the Mengshi 917 have reached 4987mm, 2080mm and 1935mm respectively, and the wheelbase has also reached 2950mm.

Short and sturdy is also an advantage for hardcore off-road vehicles, with the two-door Wrangler and Jimny often able to traverse extreme terrain with their compact bodies. Therefore, the compact body of the Defender 90 also has a special advantage over the large Warrior 917 in terms of passability.

Its approach angle reached 375 °, the departure angle reached 40 °, and the longitudinal passing angle reached 307°, the minimum ground clearance for full load also reached 216mm. For comparison, the Warrior 917 has an approach angle of 31°, a departure angle of 31°, and a longitudinal passing angle of 197°。It only has a minimum ground clearance of 230mm with the blessing of air suspension, which is a slight advantage, and the passability indicators in other aspects are not as good as the Defender 90.

I have to admit that compared with the large-sized Warrior 917, the small-sized Guardian 90 does have a lot of advantages in terms of passability. However, with the blessing of new energy technology, the Mengshi 917, which has the blessing of pure electric range extension dual routes, has opened the gap of an era in terms of power performance.

Among them, the extended-range version is equipped with a front and rear three-motor four-wheel drive system, with a maximum system power of 600kW and a maximum torque of 1050Nm. The all-electric version is equipped with a four-motor four-wheel drive system, with a maximum system power of 800kW and a maximum torque of 1,400Nm.

In addition, limited by the 550kmCLTC working range of the pure electric version of the model, although it is not the main sales model of the Mengshi 917, because the pure electric version has the blessing of four motors and four wheel drive, it can also make many difficult tricks unimaginable by traditional hard-core off-road vehicles, such as the crab mode.

In fact, even in the three-motor version, its power performance has far exceeded that of the V8 5The 0-liter supercharged engine is the most high-performance version of the Land Rover Defender. The two models equivalent to the Warrior 917** are equipped with 20t turbocharged engine and 30T turbo + electric supercharged engine, the maximum power of the two engines is 221kW and 400kW.

It is undeniable that limited by the long body size, the passability of the Warrior 917 is indeed inferior to the short and concise Land Rover Defender, but the former has a far leading advantage in terms of power performance.

In addition, behind the Mengshi 917 is a company with a military background, and there is no reason why a car company that makes military vehicles cannot find a product that is not as passable as civilian vehicles. Therefore, the professor believes that the passability of the Mengshi 917 is completely lost in design and positioning, rather than in technical strength.

So what do you think of these two models?
