Brave plateau moat warrior 917% became the first luxury electric off-road vehicle to cross the ancient road of Kriya.
Recently, China’s first luxury electric off-road vehicle, Warrior 917, successfully completed the crossing of the Keriya ancient road under the witness of many off-road e-families, becoming the first luxury electric off-road vehicle crossing the Keriya ancient road in China.
Previously, with the deep integration of innovative intelligent electric technology and hard-core off-road chassis technology, the electric intelligent off-road chassis of Warrior 917 stood out among many participating models and won the "Top Ten Chassis in China in 2023" and the "Best Off-road Award" simultaneously. The successful crossing of the Kerria ancient road once again verified the excellent chassis performance and ultimate off-road capability of the Warrior 917.
As the legendary ninth line of Xinjiang’s entry into Tibet, the Keriya Ancient Road is regarded as a ceiling-level cross-country crossing route, which makes every cross-country person fascinated. The Keriya Ancient Road lies in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains in Tibet and Xinjiang. Since its opening, it has become famous as an off-road circle with "winter and summer are not feasible and the difficulties are abnormal". Canyon, precipice, Daban, volcano, plateau, glacier and lake are criss-crossed, and the landform features are extremely complex and the altitude fluctuates greatly. It is often necessary for off-road vehicles to cross successfully at the right time and in the right place.
As the first masterpiece of Warrior Technology, Warrior 917 is built based on Warrior Intelligent Off-road Architecture M TECH, equipped with three hard-core technology clusters, namely Warrior Off-road Platform MORA, Warrior Power MEGA POWER and Warrior All-terrain System M ATS, providing two power modes: pure electric and extended range. The whole system comes standard with cutting-edge technologies such as intelligent air suspension with 150 mm adjustment range, 10.6-degree rear wheel steer-by-wire steering and VMC chassis dynamic domain control technology, which not only has strong power, strong road trafficability and flexible driving.
Ceiling-level hard core crossing route
The ancient Kriya Road has been regarded as the most difficult and dangerous route to Tibet since its opening, and there is no one. The difficulty of this route is a great test for both cars and people. Even under the conditions of guided road survey and plateau cross-country driving experience, people and cars need to go through the comprehensive tests of high altitude, long slope climbing, wading driving, snow and ice weather and other unknown factors at the same time, which is even more difficult.

After gathering in Lhasa, the senior cross-country players and warrior science and technology workers from the cross-country E family arrived in Gaize County via the Ali Dabei Line, and traveled for 360 kilometers in three days from September 24 to 26, successfully crossing the Keriya Ancient Road. Prior to this, most of the vehicles that were able to complete the crossing of the Keriya ancient road were heavily modified off-road vehicles, and no new energy vehicles had ever been able to cross here.
The extended range version of Warrior 917, which is affectionately called "the weapon for long wear" by riders, is equipped with three motors and a 1.5T high-efficiency range extender, which can realize the powerful power output of 816 horses with over 10,000 wheel torque. It is equipped with a 65.8-degree high-safety off-road battery pack, with a pure battery life of 200 kilometers and a comprehensive battery life of 1,026 kilometers for CLTC. There is no essential difference between the battery replenishment in the extreme crossing scene and the traditional fuel vehicle, and there will be no endurance anxiety and trouble. This crossing model only uses the bottom guard and roof rack selected by the original factory, which is basically the state of the original car.
You know, as a new off-road species with the same origin as the warrior military vehicle technology, Warrior 917 has passed the verification of the national reliability and durability standard of 1 million kilometers of military off-road vehicles for four rounds, covering the high temperature, cold and plateau three high tests of military off-road vehicles, and passed the assessment of military off-road working conditions such as slope leap, obstacle impact and step climbing, and the ability of vehicles to cope with extreme environments. This also means that in terms of off-road performance, Warrior 917 has a quality far exceeding that of ordinary vehicles, which is also the basis for this successful crossing.
Of course, in extreme crossing, awe of nature and cross-country is necessary. The support car in the convoy towed 600 liters of gasoline to provide continuous energy supply for the convoy.
Reverse wear is just in different directions?
Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of Wanshan Mountain, is an insurmountable natural barrier, which has been deliberately avoided by both the ancient Silk Road and the new Tibet Highway. Under the gaze of Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of thousands of mountains, which stretches for more than 2,000 kilometers, the terrain of the ancient Kriya Road is complex, and it is not enough to describe the dangers and difficulties here to say that it is a car dismantling yard.
Why is the Keriya Ancient Road a ceiling-level crossing route in China? Because its altitude soars very fast, from a few hundred meters to an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. People’s will and experience, the performance and reliability of the car are indispensable. High performance is the basic requirement in this line, and it will be eliminated if it is not met. The forward crossing is from Xinjiang to Tibet, and the altitude is climbing. The difficulty of reverse penetration is that you have to be in a difficult mode at the initial stage. High altitude and complex and dangerous topography coexist, and it is not only the possible high penetration that needs to be overcome, but also several kilometers of continuous uphill roads. People and cars must have a "big heart", otherwise just moving forward is an extravagant hope.
Through the previous rainy season, all the road conditions along the way have been washed, and it is difficult to find markers and ruts. The road conditions per kilometer are almost unknown, and the difficulty of crossing river valleys, snow, snow-capped mountains, Gobi and gravel roads can be imagined.
In the face of complex terrain, Warriors 917′ s powerful all-terrain system, M ATS, has demonstrated its ability to turn rough terrain into smooth terrain. The intelligent air suspension can provide an adjustment range of up to 150mm as needed, and it can cope with it calmly whether climbing rocks or crossing streams and rivers. The maximum wading depth of 900mm undoubtedly doubles driving confidence, and the maintenance-free feature after wading also makes team members sit up and take notice.
The mighty power plateau sees the true chapter.
Driving on the plateau, power attenuation is a big pain point of traditional fuel vehicles, not to mention off-road, even if driving on paved roads, it is common to be overwhelmed when encountering altitude climbing. This is also the main reason why most of the vehicles that successfully crossed the Keriya ancient road were traditional large-displacement hard-core off-road vehicles.
Hardware configuration is the key index of off-road performance. MORA, the warrior off-road platform, adopts native electrification architecture, fast torque response and wide torque platform, so that vehicles can maintain good continuous strong power output, and cope with complex terrain changes and altitude climbing more calmly. It is necessary to accelerate, speed and speed. Simply put, power is on call. The members of the challenge team, especially the old off-road guns driving the Warriors 917, praised the power advantages of electric off-road.
Moreover, in the construction of the frame, the Warrior 917 uses high-strength materials to build the internal high-pressure integrated longitudinal beam, which enhances the impact resistance of the whole vehicle and can effectively prevent the vehicle from breaking down under complex road conditions.
Driving in high-altitude no-man’s land, with dense mountain passes, high and low altitude, requires high driving skills and experience. How to drive in different sections and how to solve problems are the top priorities.
Warrior 917 even served as a support car when passing through difficult sections. In Daban, a red soil at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, there was a big slope with a drop of more than 400 meters, and a support car could not climb. Finally, it was dragged up by Warrior 917.
In Ashkule Volcano Group, an old cross-country gun drove the Warrior 917 directly to the crater, paying tribute to the youngest volcano group in Asia in a unique way.
Look at the magnificent mountains and rivers, and cross the natural barrier to see the road. With its powerful power, off-road capability and reliable reliability, Warrior 917 successfully completed the pioneering challenge of crossing the Keriya Ancient Road for the first time, fully interpreted the hardcore and toughness of new off-road species, and made many senior hard-core off-road players personally experience the strength and confidence of electric off-road in the high-intensity off-road challenge, which was written in the new chapter of China electric off-road crossing challenge.
