"Among our pre-order customers, over 70% chose to go all the way and directly ordered the top-of-the-line four-wheel-drive Ultra version!" Mengshi CEO Wan Liangyu revealed this information after announcing the Mengshi X700's launch prices and benefits.

On October 25, the Mengshi X700 was officially launched, with 4 new models introduced at a limited-time launch benefit price of 209,800 to 269,800 yuan, paired with multiple benefits worth up to a total of 65,000.

If compared horizontally with competitors in the same class, the Mengshi X700's price among "boxy off-roaders" is not cheap, but if you deeply experience this newly launched vehicle, you'll find that the Mengshi X700 at under 300,000 yuan is actually "one against three" — buying one Mengshi X700 can satisfy 99.99% of a modern family's vehicle needs.

In this world, truth and falsehood are intertwined, and choosing a new car is no different — without a deep experience, it's probably hard to understand the difference between a "true boxy off-roader" and a "boxy shell." So in car purchasing, there's a non-professional term called the "regret index." Some models are indeed cheap when bought, but after using them, you find yourself regretting "pain points" every few days. Therefore, the Mengshi X700 launch event did not list specifications again, but first invited four big names who, after truly deeply experiencing the Mengshi X700 for a week, came to share their most intuitive impressions of the Mengshi X700.

Tranquility leads to far-reaching

Niangao Mama is not an automotive professional blogger — her professional focus is actually "maternal and infant blogger," or in non-professional terms, a "child-rearing professional." She took the stage first, giving the impression of being in the wrong venue, but then again, these days, how many families buying cars don't have a "little monster" at home?

During the verification process, Niangao Mama focused on "true comfort" and "true safety."

The Mengshi X700 measures 5035mm in length with a 2920mm wheelbase, paired with a space utilization rate of up to 74.7%, so for Niangao Mama's family of three, the space is more than ample. Niangao Dad even loaded a folding bicycle and the family's commonly used appliances all at once into the Mengshi X700's trunk during the experience.

Niangao Mama was full of praise for the Mengshi X700's comfort: the cloud-sensation magic carpet seats throughout the vehicle have 60 built-in adjustable air bags, and the front passenger seat is equipped with a dual 127° golden-angle zero-gravity queen seat. When the rear seats are folded flat with one touch, a nearly 2-meter bed opens up, and combined with the full-featured second row's power-adjustable backrests, ventilation, heating, and massage functions, this vehicle's performance in urban congested conditions is completely that of a top-spec nanny car.

What she highlighted was the Mengshi X700's silent cabin. Four-door silent electric soft-close doors plus double-layer laminated acoustic glass keep the common problem of "boxy off-roaders" — wind noise — ruthlessly outside the vehicle. In Niangao Mama's real-world testing, even at highway cruising speeds, the cabin's noise level was quiet enough for children to sleep peacefully. And in places you can't see, the Armor Body 2.0 with 7-layer A-pillar armor and 42,416N·m/deg body torsional rigidity, plus 9 airbags throughout the vehicle, and the Mengshi-grade CATL off-road safety battery's ten-layer structural chassis armor, build a physical defense line for family travel. This is not just a car — it's a mobile, extremely safe family fortress.

Fast and far-reaching

Huawei Senior Vice President and Yinwang (Huawei Qiankun) Technology CEO Jin Yuzhi, despite suffering from altitude sickness and breathing oxygen along the way, didn't forget a little episode encountered during the Mengshi X700's real-world testing journey: during the test drive, the group was "playing in water" with the Mengshi X700, and a family of three in another boxy off-roader at the scenic area saw the Mengshi X700 having fun in the water — the child wanted his dad to join in too, but his dad awkwardly said: "Our car is on highway tires..." (The Mengshi X700 "playing in water" was actually also fitted with production-version highway tires.)

Jin Yuzhi summed it up: "Dad's face fell to the ground."

The soul of a "true boxy off-roader" must ultimately face interrogation on unpaved roads. Han Lu drove the car into muddy ground and gravel roads, examining the vehicle's bottom line from the most rigorous off-road perspective.

Under the unibody structure, the Mengshi X700 compensates for its hardcore shortcomings with what can only be called a luxury electronic and chassis system. The Rock Chassis 2.0 integrates MRC magnetorheological shock absorbers, intelligent dual-chamber air suspension, and a magic carpet preview system. This means the suspension is no longer a rigid mechanical structure, but has neural reflexes that adjust damping 1,000 times per second. Cameras scan the road ahead in advance, and before the wheels hit potholes, the chassis is already prepared. This "magic carpet"-like experience reduces cabin impact by over 40%.

But don't be fooled by its comfort. The Mengshi AI all-terrain intelligent off-road system supports one-touch true AUTO mode and 13 driving modes, paired with intelligent E-lock and rear axle mechanical differential lock, as well as 800mm class-leading wading capability — it can carry you calmly across streams and steep slopes.

Han Lu's assessment after the test drive was extremely straightforward: opting for the dual-chamber air suspension on mid-to-low trims is absolutely worth it — this chassis is "tough in difficult sections, won't easily overheat or drop the lock." It lets you face the wilderness without trading backaches for off-road thrills — undoubtedly the most luxurious experience in long-distance expeditions.

Full of "clever tricks" everywhere

If the chassis and space are the Mengshi X700's foundation, then the fully-equipped Huawei ecosystem is its sharpest fang. Tech blogger Huasheng Shuo, after experiencing it, was full of praise for this "true intelligence" combination.

Inside the cabin, the 15.6-inch Huawei smart dual screen powered by HarmonySpace 6 not only offers silky interaction but also connects the full-scenario ecosystem. On the intelligent driving front, the Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 system paired with a lidar boasting up to 896 lines lets this massive vehicle navigate urban traffic with ease. More importantly, its intelligent driving doesn't downgrade in off-road scenarios — the addition of off-road version NCA and RCA roaming cruise assistance means even unknown wilderness trails have tech protection.

For players who love to tinker, the Mengshi X700 also offers a "big toy": Robo travel photography. The dedicated exterior gimbal interface links with the onboard drone, plus the tailgate's customizable emotion backpack screen — this car instantly transforms into an outdoor camping social hub. Combined with 6kW external discharge capability, it's a mobile energy station and filming base. Among boxy off-roaders under 300,000, those that can combine advanced intelligent driving, smart cabin, and outdoor playability so deeply are few and far between.

Generous and refined

Pioneer owner A Guo's appearance broke the stereotype that hardcore boxy off-roaders are mostly male owners. If competitor hardcore boxy off-roaders are exclusively for male hormones — bulky, heavy steering, large blind spots — often not friendly enough to female drivers, A Guo's one-week real experience gave a completely different answer.

For her, the Mengshi X700 is first and foremost an extremely easy car to drive. Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 greatly relieves driving fatigue during urban rush hours, and APA intelligent parking assistance lets this 5-meter-plus giant elegantly park in narrow spaces. The 360° panoramic view and transparent chassis mean she has zero blind-spot anxiety in complex road conditions. A Guo shared a detail: when she drove this car to pick up her best friend, her friend was stunned by the HarmonySpace cabin's silky interaction and the HUAWEI SOUND 21-speaker audio quality — completely breaking the stereotype that "off-road vehicles equal bare-bones."

A Guo's verification had no complex parameters — only the composure and grace of daily use. With a woman's sensitivity, she proved that beneath the Mengshi X700's hardcore "armor," there's a daily experience full of quality and convenience. This is precisely the most down-to-earth proof of "buy one car, replace three": it not only takes you over mountains and across rivers, but also provides composure in the daily urban life of oil, salt, firewood, and rice that rivals luxury sedans.

Looking back at the entire launch, the Mengshi X700 used six hardcore dimensions — "true driving control, true comfort, true intelligence, true fun, true safety, true off-road" — plus the "true beauty" endorsed by Nazha, to piece together a "six-plus-one" seven-facet true boxy off-roader.

Let's do the math. If you need a car with an 800V high-voltage platform and up to 360km pure electric range to handle five days of low-cost commuting; if you need a car with zero-gravity seats, large space, and high safety to take care of family weekend outings; if you also need an off-road vehicle with air suspension and strong wading capability that can take you to explore unknown scenery — in the traditional market, the out-the-door price of these three vehicles would far exceed 300,000.

The Mengshi X700, at a price of 209,800 to 269,800 yuan, seamlessly stitches these three together through one chassis, one intelligent driving system, and one cabin. Of course, viewed from a professional perspective, it's not flawless. As a unibody boxy off-roader, in extreme high-intensity rock-climbing scenarios, its physical limit is not as high as body-on-frame hardcore vehicles; the entry version doesn't come standard with air suspension and requires additional optioning. But this is precisely where the Mengshi engineering team's clarity shines: they know that 90% of users' off-road scenarios are riverbanks, gravel, and mud — not rock climbing. Using actively adjustable chassis to cover these needs and passing the saved weight and cost benefits to the cabin and intelligent driving — this is a more cost-effective philosophy of car-making.

At this price point, the Mengshi X700 didn't just launch a new car — it provided an extremely efficient solution. It turns "buy one car, replace three" from a marketing slogan into a tangible life experience. For those wanting a truly all-around, no-compromise true boxy off-roader under 300,000, the Mengshi X700 is indeed the only answer right now.
