# MHERO II (M817) GCC Spec: Premium PHEV Off-Road SUV for the Middle East

The Middle East has long been one of the world's most important markets for large luxury SUVs and high-performance 4x4 vehicles. Today, Chinese premium new energy vehicles are bringing new choices to buyers looking for a combination of power, technology, off-road capability and long-distance driving range.

The **MHERO II, also known as the M817, is now available in GCC specification for Middle East markets**.

This is particularly important for buyers in the Gulf region. Instead of sourcing a China domestic-market vehicle, professional importers can consider the **MHERO II GCC Spec**, developed for overseas markets with specifications including **left-hand drive, CCS2 charging compatibility and Middle East-oriented configuration**.

China EV Source can support overseas dealers, importers and professional buyers interested in sourcing the MHERO II GCC Spec from China.

## MHERO II and M817: What Is This Vehicle?

The **MHERO II (M817)** is a large premium plug-in hybrid off-road SUV from Dongfeng's MHERO brand.

It combines the characteristics Middle East SUV buyers frequently look for:

* Large 5-seat SUV body
* Body-on-frame construction
* Dual-motor intelligent AWD
* PHEV powertrain
* High power and torque
* Long combined driving range
* Multiple off-road terrain modes
* Premium intelligent cabin
* Advanced driver assistance technology

At **5,100 mm long, 1,998 mm wide and 1,899 mm high**, with a **3,005 mm wheelbase**, the MHERO II has the road presence expected from a premium full-size off-road SUV.

## Why GCC Spec Matters for Middle East Buyers

Not every vehicle sold in China is automatically suitable for the Gulf market.

For professional vehicle importers, there is an important difference between a **China domestic specification vehicle** and a vehicle configured for overseas GCC markets.

The MHERO II GCC specification provides features relevant to Middle East buyers, including:

**Left-Hand Drive (LHD)**
Suitable for major GCC markets such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain.

**CCS2 Charging Compatibility**
The GCC specification uses an EU CCS2 charging interface, an important consideration for overseas charging compatibility.

**Middle East Market Configuration**
The GCC version should be considered separately from China domestic versions when checking specifications, equipment and local market requirements.

Before ordering, buyers should always confirm the exact GCC configuration and documentation required by their destination country.

## Built for Middle East Driving Conditions

One of the strongest selling points of the **MHERO M817 GCC Spec** is its combination of electrified performance and serious off-road capability.

The vehicle offers multiple terrain modes, including:

**Sand, Mud, Rocks, Deep Snow, Light Snow, Wading and Auto modes.**

For Middle East customers, **Sand Mode** is particularly relevant.

Combined with intelligent AWD, a body-on-frame chassis and double-wishbone independent suspension, the MHERO II is positioned for customers who need more than a conventional urban luxury SUV.

Higher configurations can also provide advanced chassis equipment such as intelligent air suspension and CDC dynamic damping control.

## 505 kW Dual-Motor AWD Performance

The MHERO II GCC delivers:

**505 kW maximum system power**
**848 Nm maximum torque**

Acceleration from **0–100 km/h takes approximately 5.2 seconds**.

These figures give the M817 strong performance for a large off-road-oriented SUV while retaining the advantages of a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

For customers considering traditional large-displacement luxury SUVs, the MHERO II offers a different proposition: strong electric motor response combined with the long-distance flexibility of a gasoline-assisted PHEV system.

## 1,113 km WLTC Combined Range

Long-distance usability is particularly important in the Middle East.

The MHERO II GCC specification combines a **31.7 kWh LFP battery** with its PHEV system.

Official specification data lists:

* 110 km WLTC electric range
* 1,113 km WLTC combined range
* 140 km CLTC electric range
* 1,300 km CLTC combined range

This allows owners to use electric driving for many shorter journeys while maintaining long-distance flexibility when required.

For customers concerned about charging availability on longer routes, this can make a PHEV off-road SUV more practical than relying entirely on a battery-electric vehicle.

## Fast Charging and 6 kW V2L

The MHERO II GCC supports fast charging, with **20–80% charging taking approximately 15 minutes** according to the GCC specification.

It also provides **6 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) output**.

V2L can be particularly useful for:

* Camping
* Desert activities
* Outdoor equipment
* Mobile power requirements
* Off-road travel

This strengthens the vehicle's positioning as both a luxury SUV and a lifestyle/off-road vehicle.

## Luxury and Intelligent Technology

The MHERO II is not designed only around off-road capability.

Depending on configuration, equipment includes features such as:

* 15.6-inch central touchscreen
* Digital instrument display
* W-HUD head-up display
* Apple CarPlay
* Android Auto
* Intelligent voice control
* 360° surround view
* L2-level intelligent driving assistance
* Premium power-adjustable seating
* Panoramic sunroof
* Intelligent exterior mirrors
* Advanced parking and safety assistance

This combination allows the M817 to serve both as an off-road vehicle and as a premium daily SUV for business owners, executives and high-income private customers.

## MHERO II for Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is one of the most natural potential markets for the MHERO II GCC.

Large SUVs and capable 4x4 vehicles have strong market relevance, while customers are increasingly being introduced to Chinese premium and electrified vehicles.

Potential customer profiles include:

* Premium SUV buyers
* Business owners
* Off-road enthusiasts
* Luxury vehicle dealers
* 4x4 specialists
* Corporate and VIP users

For Saudi buyers searching for a **MHERO II Saudi Arabia**, **M817 GCC Spec** or a **Chinese luxury PHEV off-road SUV**, the GCC version provides a more relevant starting point than a China domestic-spec vehicle.

## MHERO II for UAE

The UAE is another important market for premium Chinese vehicles.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi have mature luxury-car markets, while distinctive high-performance SUVs can attract customers who want something different from traditional European, American and Japanese brands.

The MHERO II combines:

**Luxury + PHEV + AWD + Off-Road Capability + Chinese EV Technology**

This makes it particularly interesting for UAE dealers and premium customers seeking new products in the luxury 4x4 segment.

## Other GCC Market Opportunities

The MHERO II GCC Spec can also be considered for:

**Qatar** – premium private buyers and luxury SUV customers.

**Kuwait** – strong SUV and 4x4 culture with demand for powerful premium vehicles.

**Oman** – suitable positioning for customers requiring highway comfort combined with off-road capability.

**Bahrain** – a smaller market, but with potential among premium and specialist vehicle buyers.

Exact import, registration and certification requirements should always be verified for each destination before shipment.

## MHERO II GCC vs Traditional Luxury SUVs

The MHERO II is not simply competing on price.

Its strongest advantage is offering Middle East customers a different combination of characteristics:

| Buyer Priority | MHERO II GCC |
| -------------------------- | ------------- |
| Luxury positioning | Yes |
| Plug-in hybrid | Yes |
| Dual-motor AWD | Yes |
| Body-on-frame | Yes |
| Sand/off-road modes | Yes |
| Long combined range | 1,113 km WLTC |
| High output | 505 kW |
| V2L | 6 kW |
| Smart cockpit | Yes |
| GCC-oriented specification | Available |

For buyers traditionally considering large premium SUVs and 4x4s, the M817 represents a new-generation Chinese alternative focused on electrification, intelligent technology and off-road capability.
