Warrior 917 Test Drive New Benchmark of Domestic Luxury Hard Off-road Vehicle

　　With the gradual recovery of the domestic automobile market, since the beginning of this year, major car companies have continuously opened up a new personalized car market. Among them, the "hard-core off-road vehicle" has undoubtedly become a new explosion point in the current domestic market. How hot is it? It can be seen from the workshop that 2023 is called "the first year of hard-core cross-country".

　　During the Chengdu Auto Show held not long ago, the first model of Warriors Auto Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Warriors Technology) was officially listed, with a price of 637,700 yuan. As a pioneering work of Warrior Technology, Warrior 917 is the first model of M TECH Warrior’s intelligent off-road architecture, and it is also the first luxury electric off-road vehicle with extended range and pure electric dual-power version in the world.

　　It is not difficult to see that Warrior 917 has a very important strategic significance for Warrior technology brand. Not much to say, let’s take a look at what kind of surprise it will bring us through the test drive experience of Warrior 917!

　　1. Warrior 917 combines the imposing manner, demeanor and majesty of lion dance in the East with modern technology, and deduces a luxurious off-road style.

　　In terms of appearance, Warrior 917 adheres to the design concept of "male soul" and draws inspiration from "lion awakening in the East" as the DNA of modeling. The angular front hatch cover lines are matched with the sharp front bumper, which is very mechy. The new car adopts a flat hexagonal air intake grille, and the interior of the middle net is decorated with wavy decorative strips. The large-size brand LOGO is embedded in China Net, which is very domineering.

　　In the whole front face design, the shape of the lamp group is the most amazing, especially the cross-type daytime driving inspired by the ancient weapon "Ge", which is highly recognizable. The official also gave this headlight a very stylish name, calling it "the headlight of the martial arts."

　　Two sharp lines on the side of the new car extend from below the A-pillar to the rear of the car, effectively stretching the visual length of the car body, and further strengthening the hard-core atmosphere of the new car with rough wheel eyebrows and side pedals. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the new car are 4987/2080/1935mm and the wheelbase is 2950mm respectively. It is reported that the approach angle and departure angle of Warrior 917 both reach 31, the maximum climbing angle can reach 45 and the maximum wading depth is 900 mm..

　　The new car will offer a variety of rims to choose from. There are two options for the pure electric version, namely, 20-inch aluminum alloy rim with HT tire and 20-inch forged rim with AT tire. On the basis of the pure electric vehicle, the extended-range version can also choose the combination of 20-inch forged rim +AT tire and 20-inch anti-drop tire +AT tire.

　　In terms of the rear end, the new car also uses many sharp line designs, which has a strong sense of hierarchy. The shape of the taillight of the new car is also derived from the ancient weapon "Ge", which has been blackened and dynamic. It can be seen that the trunk door of the new car adopts a side-opening mode, and an oversized external storage box (optional external spare tire) is hung, which are the classic design elements of high-end hard-core SUV.

　　The electric version of the new car can be equipped with a roof expansion platform, including a luggage rack with a weight of 150 kg, an 80W overhead light with an irradiation distance greater than 300 meters and a boarding ladder. In addition, it can also be equipped with a simulated exhaust sound and an Oriental Hawkeye intelligent drone system. On the basis of the pure electric version, the extended range version can also be equipped with an electric winch (provided by T-MAX, supporting wireless remote control and supporting 12500ibs specifications) and a full-size spare tire.

　　In addition, the heroic spirit of Warrior 917 is also thoroughly implemented in the body color matching. Based on the user’s co-creation, the new car offers three color schemes: Fanjing Green, Aden Grey and Gnehi Black in the name of three sacred mountains, which not only demonstrates the brave warrior’s "fearless conquest" spirit, but also naturally integrates the lofty and vast feelings of home and country.

　　Second, the interior perfectly integrates intelligent technology with hard-core off-road, conveying a pleasing oriental artistic conception and showing a luxurious texture.

　　The design of the appearance of the Warrior 917 has also been continued in the car, such as the metal frame around the central control panel and the design of the air outlet of the beacon air conditioner, which highlights the hardcore without losing the texture. The design of the new car’s gear lever area is also very brilliant, which looks like a multi-functional aircraft gear shift handle. Its left side is used for gear control and its right side is used for driving mode control (the new car has five off-road terrain modes such as snow, sand and rock). There is also an air suspension adjustment area in the middle of the gear lever, which can adjust the suspension stroke of the vehicle by 150 mm.　

　　In addition to the overall modeling, it brings a sense of hard-line style, and the interior of Warrior 917 also creates a very rich scientific and technological atmosphere. A five-screen multi-element interactive system consisting of a full LCD instrument panel (12.3 inches), a central control panel (15.6 inches), a co-pilot panel (12.3 inches), a rear panel and a HUD has realized the functions of 5G remote smart phone, Bluetooth keys, vehicle status monitoring, remote parking and so on. The new car is also equipped with Qualcomm 8155 chip, and its powerful computing power will effectively enhance the cockpit interactive experience.

　　A large-area physical key operation area is set below the air outlet of the front air conditioner, and functional operations such as air conditioning system and front and rear differential locks can be operated by physical keys in this area. The button has moderate damping and timely response, which is convenient for the driver to operate accurately during driving and is conducive to ensuring driving safety, and the design of the solid button is more in line with the hard-core style of the whole vehicle.

　　The multi-function steering wheel presents a more fashionable and technological appearance. Common telephone and entertainment control buttons are integrated on the steering wheel, which makes the operation more convenient. What is more special is that the start button of the new car is also integrated on the steering wheel, which is full of "fighting sense". In terms of materials, the steering wheel is wrapped in high-grade leather, which makes the grip very comfortable.

　　In terms of interior materials and details, Warrior 917 uses three kinds of high-grade materials: luxurious leather, precious solid wood and textured metal, conveying a pleasing and elegant oriental luxury artistic conception. Under the embellishment of traditional cultural embroidery technology, it is natural and harmonious. The pistol-type door armrest design inherits the military concept of the warrior, and Peng Xian guards the trend of a world.

　　It is worth mentioning that the Warrior 917 is also equipped with a number of intelligent off-road black technology configurations, the most representative of which is the Oriental Hawkeye intelligent UAV system, which has the function of automatic flying, and can realize 12 original innovative functions such as automatic path planning, early warning of insufficient road width, precise landing, steep ground line detection, automatic identification, voice control, and night living thing detection; It can realize voice-controlled take-off, landing, return flight and other control operations.

　　In addition, the intelligent security system of the new car is composed of five radars of the vehicle itself. Four corner radars can automatically detect moving objects within 30 meters near the vehicle, and one front radar can detect moving objects within 50 meters ahead, achieving security detection coverage over 8,000 square meters. Early warning and driving away are carried out by means of information display, vibration, car lights, horn honking, etc., so as to enhance playability and ensure the safety and fun of wild luxury.

　　In terms of other configurations, the new car is also equipped with streaming media rearview mirror, far-infrared night vision system, wading induction system, etc., as well as Dana Confidence series 16-speaker luxury audio system and intelligent fragrance system, further strengthening the luxury style of Warrior 917.

　　Third, the seat materials are advanced, and the comfort configuration is rich. With surround sound insulation and ENC active noise reduction, a quiet and comfortable space is created.

　　The design concept of Warrior 917 "General’s Seat" originated from the armor of the ancient generals in China. With the quilting design of high mountains and flowing water, it has an extraordinary bearing. The seats are wrapped in Nappa leather, with 16-way electric adjustment of the main driver’s seat, 14-way electric adjustment of the auxiliary driver’s seat and 4-way adjustment of the headrest of the front and rear seats as standard. The front and rear seats are equipped with heating, ventilation, massage and other functions, and the comfortable and luxurious configuration is full.

　　In terms of driving space, the 176CM experiencer has a punch space in his head after adjusting the seat to a suitable position in the driver’s seat; Keeping the position of the front seat unchanged, the experiencer has a head space with one punch and two fingers in the back row, and the leg space is close to three punches. At the same time, thanks to the flat design of the back ground, even if the road is far away, the passengers in the back center will not feel embarrassed.

　　It is worth mentioning that, as a hard-core off-road SUV, Warrior 917 pays great attention to the comfort and convenience experience of the rear passengers. The rear seat of the new car is made of the same material as the front seat, with good lateral support on both sides and headrest with lateral support. The "armored wind" air outlet of the rear air conditioner, charging port and leather folding armrest with cup holder, which are unified with the style of the front air outlet, further optimize the visual aesthetic feeling and practicality. And the rear armrest is also equipped with a large-size LCD touch screen, which can control functions such as air conditioning, seat heating and seat ventilation.

　　In terms of storage space, it is very easy to put down two bottles of 500ML drinking water in the conventional glove box, front central passage, central armrest box and door panel storage compartment. The storage capacity of the trunk is quite satisfactory, but it is understandable for a hard-core off-road SUV, which is more than enough to meet the storage of equipment needed for short-distance travel or outdoor off-road. Moreover, the back of the rear seat supports electric adjustment, and the storage space of the trunk has certain expansion ability.

　　In other aspects, due to the high body of the new car, in addition to adjusting the air suspension to facilitate passengers getting on and off, the new car is also equipped with handles on the inside of A and B columns, which are commonly used in off-road vehicles. In addition, the new car also supports optional small tables on the rear side of the front seats, further enriching the practicality of the vehicle.

　　4. MEGA POWER Warrior Power provides pure electricity and extended range dual power forms. The pure electric version has a zero acceleration of only 4.2 seconds, and the extended range version has a comprehensive battery life of up to 1026 kilometers.

　　In terms of power, the pure electric version of Warrior 917 is equipped with front and rear four motors and a 142.7 kWh double-layer high-capacity high-safety off-road battery pack. The wheel torque exceeds 16,200 Nm, and the horsepower is as high as 1,088 horsepower. It takes only 4.2 seconds to accelerate at zero speed, and the CLTC comprehensive battery life reaches 505 kilometers. The extended range version of Warriors 917 is equipped with a combination of three motors and a 1.5T high-efficiency range extender, with a horsepower of 816 horsepower and a 65.8-degree high-safety off-road battery pack. CLTC has a pure battery life of 200 kilometers and a comprehensive battery life of 1,026 kilometers.

　　Our test drive this time has become a full-scale version of Warrior 917, and my first impression of driving a new car is that it is in great contrast with the appearance of Wittmann. As we all know, quiet power intervention and smooth power output are the inherent characteristics of extended-range vehicles, but thanks to many cutting-edge technologies such as VMC chassis dynamic domain control and AKC rear-wheel steer-by-wire steering carried by Warriors 917, the minimum turning radius of the new car is only 5.1 meters, so it feels very smart when driving it. In particular, the "crab walk" equipped with lateral driving function further reduces the driving threshold of this "big guy". Especially when starting to leave the parking space or parking in the warehouse, even novice drivers will not find the vehicle difficult to control.

　　With the deepening of the accelerator pedal, the powerful power reserve makes the power output more dense, and the climbing process of the vehicle speed is very brisk. When you need to overtake, you just need to step on the accelerator slightly. The acceleration ability of 6 seconds will bring you enough confidence and a very direct sense of acceleration.

　　As a hard-core SUV that emphasizes off-road properties, with the support of MEGA POWER system, Warrior 917 can follow the changes of terrain and road conditions, and realize high-precision rapid response adjustment for power, suspension, steering and other systems. In fact, the core value of this system lies in enhancing the traction, maneuverability and stability of vehicles on off-road roads and assisting in improving off-road performance. Under the urban road conditions, it can easily filter out the vibration from the road surface and ensure the comfort of the occupants in the car.

　　It is worth noting that the traditional hard-core SUV generally has the characteristics of poor NVH performance under high-speed working conditions, but the Warrior 917 is very good at controlling the noise from outside the car. Of course, for a new energy vehicle, it is rarely affected by engine noise. However, Warrior 917 still deeply considered the NVH performance of the whole vehicle. Thermal insulation glass combined with ENC active noise reduction, as well as the Dana 16-speaker luxury sound system mentioned earlier, almost completely blocked the wind noise and tire noise from entering the car, creating a quiet and comfortable space comparable to a luxury car.

　　Fifth, the intelligent off-road architecture of M TECH Warriors not only gives products high-efficiency power, but also brings powerful off-road performance.

　　Warrior 917 is based on M TECH Warrior Intelligent Off-road Architecture, which includes three hard-core technology clusters: MORA Warrior Skateboard Off-road Platform, MEGA POWER Warrior Power and M Warrior Off-road All-terrain Intelligent Solution, which helps to bring drivers a more extreme off-road experience. As we have just said, MEGA POWER Warrior Power is more than enough to deal with all kinds of road conditions in urban driving, and for more complicated and steep off-road road conditions, Warrior also provides more reliable solutions.

　　The M ATS all-terrain intelligent system carried by Warrior 917 supports five off-road driving modes, including snow, mud, sand, rock and wading, and intelligent off-road AUTO mode. With the intelligent far-infrared night vision system and intelligent decision-making system, it can automatically sense the changes of nine typical off-road surfaces. Combined with AI intelligent algorithm and collaborative control software strategy, it can adjust the off-road driving mode of vehicles in real time to cope with various complex terrain and road conditions.

　　This test drive, we also passed some unpaved roads such as gravel potholes and sand, which obviously didn’t bring any trouble to Warrior 917. As we all know, the adhesion of wheels will be obviously reduced under sand conditions, which makes it very easy for vehicles to get stuck in the initial stage, especially those with high horsepower. In the sand mode, Warrior 917 intelligently adjusts the rear axle torque to be greater than the front axle torque, and the suspension also adaptively changes the vehicle to a posture of front high and rear low, effectively avoiding the situation of excessive front axle torque, making it very easy for the vehicle to start in the sand.

　　In the process of driving in sand, Warrior 917 can timely ensure the same dynamic sliding of the front and rear axles according to the change of vehicle posture, and intelligently adjust the optimal driving force, braking torque and driving torque of the front and rear axles based on the dynamic sliding rate of the front and rear axles, so that the vehicle can run in sand briskly. With the real-time adjustment of traction control system, body dynamic control system and anti-lock braking system, the ride comfort of vehicles driving in sand is further optimized.

　　In addition, in the sand mode, Warrior 917 has also made directional optimization for ABS anti-lock braking system. When driving, it can be clearly felt that the intervention of ABS is more obvious under the flat sand working condition, so as to prevent the accumulation of sand at the front of the car and affect the acceleration. On the ramp, especially in the downhill stage, we can clearly feel that the tolerance of the anti-lock braking system is higher. At this time, accumulating a small amount of sand in the front of the car will help the vehicle to achieve a more stable downhill.

　　When passing through some gravel potholes, we switch the driving mode to rock mode, at which time the vehicle automatically adjusts to a higher ground clearance and a low speed and high torque setting. Even if the differential lock is not opened or not, the electronic slip-limiting system can intervene smartly and quickly to ensure the torque stability of the grounded wheels. In the face of continuous cannonball pits, we can quickly gain more powerful traction through the addition of differential locks, and combine the function of "magic carpet chassis" to clearly grasp the passing conditions of the road surface and find the most reasonable passing route.

　　Finally, although we didn’t have the experience of wading in road conditions this time, Warrior 917 equipped the vehicle with a 1500 MPa high-strength battery bottom guard for this working condition, and the wading depth can reach 900 mm. I believe Warrior 917 can also calmly cope with the challenge of this extreme off-road environment.

　　Summary: Since the official release of the brand, in a short period of one year, Bravissimo Technology has completed the construction of all-field capability systems such as brand, technology, products, ecology and services, and ran out of the "Bravissimo Speed" with extreme efficiency. The arrival of Warrior 917 also marks the official completion of the integration and innovation of Warrior military vehicle off-road technology and intelligent electric technology.

　　As a luxury electric off-road technical solution made in China, the appearance of the Warrior 917 is a pure male soul with the oriental lion dance, and the recognizable front face design is matched with the sharp and stylish body lines, the lion’s roar array grille, the front headlights of the martial arts and the tail lights of the sword pointing to the sky, depicting the domineering spirit of stopping the martial arts. A five-screen multi-element interactive system is built in the car, and based on Qualcomm 8155 high computing platform, the intelligent interactive experience of off-road cockpit is realized. At the same time, with the help of a large number of luxurious leather, precious solid wood, "general seat", Dana audio system and other elements, it further shows the continuous pursuit of luxury texture by China car companies. More importantly, Warriors 917 has once again refreshed our understanding of the off-road capability of domestic new energy vehicles through the all-terrain intelligent solution brought by M TECH intelligent off-road architecture.

　　Sharp in shape, the male soul is in the heart. "Warrior" has come, and a new era of luxury electric cross-country in China has come!
