The full-size frame SUV DongFeng Mengshi (Warrior) is now offered in a whole range of modifications. Recall that this model is based on the design of the legendary American all-terrain vehicle Humvee / Hummer H1 and has been sold to civilian customers since July 2021.
Until now, Mengshi was available to ordinary consumers only as a truck with a single-row cab and a “naked” chassis for any superstructure. From now on, a whole range is available, which consists of four body modifications:
truck with a single row cab (two doors),
truck with double cab (four doors),
cargo-passenger wagon with a standard roof (four doors + two tailgate doors),
cargo-passenger station wagon with a high roof (four doors + two tailgate doors).
The entire family is now called the Mangshi Retrograde 500 Series - the change is due to the fact that DongFeng is growing a separate brand from the model name.

Mengshi is suitable for use in high altitude conditions (it can be operated even at an altitude of more than 4500 m) and in a wide temperature range (from minus 35 to plus 41 degrees Celsius).
The base configuration of the Mengshi Retrograde 500 Series includes a 4.0-liter Cummins EQB150-20 turbodiesel with 194 hp. and a torque of 600 Nm. It is combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, two-speed transfer case. The average fuel consumption is 13.5 l / 100 km, the cruising range on a full tank is more than 900 km.
Like the original Hummer, the Mengshi is based on a riveted steel frame with box section spars. The body has a frame made of rectangular tubes and external elements made of aluminum and composites. All suspensions of the car are independent, the drive is permanent all-wheel drive.
