Mengshi X700 Makes Global Debut at Chengdu Motor Show, Debuting with Huawei Qiankun 2.0 Smart Tech
On August 21, the 29th Chengdu International Motor Show officially opened, with Mengshi Motors presenting its full vehicle lineup at Hall 4 and unveiling the first model of its all-new X series—the Mengshi X700—to the world. Positioned as a luxury smart all-terrain SUV, the X700 is designed for life explorers who value self-expression and distinctive style. Unlike other "boxy" SUVs on the market, the Mengshi X700 carries a true martial aesthetics heritage and off-road pedigree, inheriting Dongfeng's military-grade off-road capabilities and Mengshi's iconic design language, now elevated with cutting-edge intelligence to meet the expectations of modern families seeking comfort, technology, quality, and character.
The X700 represents a new evolution of Mengshi's "Heroic Soul" design philosophy. While retaining the brand's signature solid, square-built presence, it introduces Eastern aesthetic concepts and contemporary design elements, resulting in fluid lines and refined detailing. The fusion of strength and elegance, toughness and grace, gives the vehicle a more approachable, modern, and fashionable stance—making it what the brand calls the "most beautiful box" that balances off-road power with urban sophistication.
Using original design to interpret Eastern aesthetics, the X700 abandons the crude angular lines typical of traditional off-roaders. Instead, its side profile draws inspiration from the brushstroke logic of Chinese calligraphy—starting, moving, and finishing—creating a visual impression that is both stable and spacious, rounded and full. The wheelbase and body length follow a 0.618 golden ratio, establishing a harmonious three-part proportion among off-road stance, cabin space, and functional requirements, while delivering generous approach and departure angles for superior passability—achieving a perfect balance between design beauty and practical utility.
The front fascia features a "lion awakening" grille paired with "heaven and earth" vertical headlamps, combining high recognition with Eastern artistic charm. The "twin celestial vault" taillights convey upward momentum, and diamond-pattern motifs inspired by the ancient Sword of Goujian are embedded in the lamp housings, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship that echoes antique Eastern artifacts. The vehicle also debuts an industry-first customizable emotion screen, integrated into the rear carrier with a smart display module that supports personalized content and social interaction, adding emotional value and fun to every outdoor adventure.
In line with the brand's "Searching Colors of Mountains and Rivers" narrative, the X700 introduces six exclusive body colors inspired by China's landscapes—Ulan Orange, Gezong Black, Kunlun White, Inkstone Gray, Libo Green, and Nyingchi Blue—each corresponding to emotional expressions of passion, determination, ease, composure, leisure, and clarity. These colors resonate with the X series' triple meaning of eXplore, eXperience, and relaX, making the vehicle a direct extension of the owner's lifestyle attitude.
This year, Mengshi and Huawei Qiankun have entered a new phase of comprehensive strategic cooperation, jointly unveiling eight hardcore intelligent off-road technologies. This deep integration of advanced intelligence and new-energy off-road engineering makes city commuting easier, long-distance travel more relaxed, and off-road exploration more fulfilling, propelling new-energy off-roading into a new era of luxury smart driving.
As a flagship result of this cooperation, the Mengshi X700 is equipped with the strongest, newest, and most comprehensive Huawei Qiankun intelligent stack, delivering a premium smart experience that truly understands life. The vehicle features Huawei Qiankun ADS 5, Harmony Cockpit 6, Qiankun vehicle optical technology, Qiankun cloud platform, Qiankun vehicle control, and Whale Fin communication—all integrated into the off-road context. The ADS 5 system offers enhanced perception, decision-making, and assistance capabilities for less stressful driving on complex roads; Harmony Cockpit 6 evolves into a smart companion that comprehends needs, proactively serves, and offers caring company during journeys; and Whale Fin communication ensures stable connectivity even in remote areas, making exploration more reassuring.
Beyond its smart credentials, the X700 is engineered for genuine off-road performance, catering to refined families' aspirations for light outdoor living. Its capabilities allow it to go further with confidence. The vehicle measures 5035mm in length, 1999mm in width, and 1910mm in height, with a 2920mm wheelbase, offering generous interior space as a standard mid-to-large SUV. The class-exclusive 150mm ultra-long-travel dual-chamber air suspension balances urban comfort with off-road support, ensuring a plush ride in the city and steady composure off-road. Ground clearance reaches 328.8mm, with approach and departure angles of 37.5° and 38.3° respectively, a breakover angle of 31.3°, and a maximum wading depth of 800mm—all leading figures in its class. Powering the X700 is the industry's only plug-in hybrid system that never loses charge in any scenario, combining low city fuel consumption with worry-free long-distance range. It also features the industry's most advanced intelligent all-terrain system, incorporating expertise from top off-road specialists, enabling beginners to instantly tackle challenging terrain like seasoned pros.
With the X700's debut, Mengshi now operates three clearly defined product series: the Flagship series for extreme hardcore off-roading, represented by the Mengshi 917; the M series for luxury smart off-roading, including the new Mengshi M817 and M817 Ultimate; and the X series for smart family mobility, which combines professional off-road capability with a focus on family comfort. Starting with the X700, three more X-series models will be launched within the next three years, accelerating the brand's family-oriented smart mobility product expansion.
Off-road technology, the brand insists, is not merely about conquering terrain—its ultimate value lies in safeguarding daily scenarios like family trips and outdoor recreation. From extreme capability to versatile family use and light urban off-roading, Mengshi continues to broaden mobility boundaries with professional off-road expertise, crafting luxury smart off-road vehicles that truly understand users, and enabling more people to enjoy a relaxed, free, and spirited smart off-road lifestyle.
