Dongfeng, one of China\u2019s big four state-owned auto manufacturers, racked up these pre-orders for its M-Hero M817 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/hybrid\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:hybrid;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">hybrid<\/a>, acting as an alternative to Tesla\u2019s products with a multi-faceted value proposition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">The M817\u2019s off-road capability fills a niche that Tesla can\u2019t yet fill in China since its Cybertruck isn\u2019t sold in the country. Dongfeng also sells its M817 for 329,000 yuan, equivalent to about $45,854, allowing drivers to receive a solid amount of versatility without spending a fortune. The 5-seat SUV features a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and two electric motors, resulting in a 4.2-second 0-62 mph time and a superb all-electric range for a hybrid vehicle of 124 miles. Additionally, its 912-horsepower rating is complemented by 944 lb-ft of torque and a 4&#215;4 drivetrain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] mt-1  line-clamp-2 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Dongfeng M817 SUV<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Dongfeng\u2019s M817 is equipped with Huawei\u2019s latest ADS 4 driving assistance system.

Drivers receive a 33-degree approach angle, a 34-degree departure angle, and a 13.1-inch ground clearance. Those seeking extra ground clearance can increase this figure to 15.1 inches by opting for air suspension. On the display front, a 15.6-inch floating curved central screen takes center stage with aviation-inspired switches and a rotary knob to minimize reliance on touch controls. Passengers have access to 13 power outlets, and buyers can choose between a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) or an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) powertrain.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"col-body mb-4 font-bold text-2xl md:text-3xl\">How Tesla is faring in China as of late<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">While Dongfeng received positive news after its initial pre-orders, Tesla registered 9,900 vehicles in China between July 14 and 20, down nearly 20% from 12,300 the previous week and 5.7% lower than the same time last year, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/eletric-vehicles.com\/tesla\/tesla-china-weekly-sales-decline-both-sequentially-and-year-on-year\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EV;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EV<\/a>. Last year, Tesla\u2019s sales three weeks into Q3 were up over 70% year-over-year. Tesla China registrations had been climbing somewhat after the company posted its lowest amount in two months at the start of July. From January 1 to July 20, Tesla&#8217;s sales are down 4.8% year-over-year, with a total of 291,300 vehicle deliveries.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Getty\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"636\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/pac85x.D1.lV2nukwA0HFA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYzNg--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoblog_arena_articles_145\/8567615296b7a99247cfbdf9409e5162\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] mt-1  line-clamp-2 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Getty<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"col-body mb-4 font-bold text-2xl md:text-3xl\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Unlike the hundreds of thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/xiaomi-yu7-tesla-model-y-rival-launch-reservations\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:pre-orders that Xiaomi\u2019s YU7 electric SUV pulled;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">pre-orders that Xiaomi\u2019s YU7 electric SUV pulled<\/a> last month in China, the deposits for Dongfeng\u2019s M-Hero M817 are refundable.
