Performance
The MHERO I delivers a jaw-dropping maximum power of 800 KW (1088 hp/1073 bhp) and a massive total torque of 1400 Nm (1033 lb-ft). This powerhouse can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds, showcasing its astonishing acceleration. Additionally, it achieves a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), making it a true marvel of engineering and performance.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 142.7 kWh and a net usable capacity of 135.0 kWh, providing a 7.7 kWh buffer (5.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 381.68 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range is 450 km (280 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 30.0 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 100 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 118 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 61 minutes with an average charging speed of 92 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 9% to 82%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 85 kW, with each charging session taking about 69 minutes and 11 seconds.
In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 40 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 11 hours and 28 minutes. This journey would require three charging stops from 15% to 81%, with a total charging time of 188 minutes.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 12 hours and 16 minutes using a home charging setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is located on the left rear side, making it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger. A second port is on the right front side. This extra port gives you more parking options for AC charging.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 6 kW of power, including the ability to charge other vehicles.
Drivetrain
The MHERO I has an all-wheel drive system supported by four motors. One for each wheel. The motors used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.
Suspension
The front and rear suspension is double wishbone. It uses air suspension and hydraulic dampers. The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically. The minimum ground clearance is 230 mm, and the maximum is 335 mm.

Brakes
The MHERO I is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear. The front discs measure 343 mm, while the rear discs are 343 mm.
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking in this model is primarily facilitated through one-pedal driving. Unlike some models, Automatic regen or coasting is not available here. However, it is not considered full one-pedal driving since, at low speeds, the vehicle will keep rolling until it comes to a stop by itself.
If you lift away the foot completely the regen is at one fixed level. This can’t be adjusted.
The maximum regenerative power is 100 kW.
