At the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, the highly anticipated second new car from Voyah finally made its first appearance, and it was immediately one of the main focus of media attention. Even the editor himself had to wait a long time to clear some space for photos, and this new car is the Voyah ESSA’s first native intelligent electric architecture dual-power MPV – The Dreamer.

Luxury Everywhere

The new car continues the design philosophy of the family-style luxury yacht in its exterior design, which shows a strong sense of heaviness. In the front part, the size of the hexagonal grille is very large, and the integration of the through-type daytime running lights and the luminous logo above the straight waterfall grille also increases the recognition of the vehicle.

In addition, the new car also uses different grilles according to two different power versions. The pure electric version has a fully enclosed grille, while the extended-range version has a conventional design due to the presence of an extender.

The shadows of the Voyah FREE can also be seen in the headlights on both sides, but the details are even more exquisite; the light source configuration has not been announced yet.

On the side, the Voyah Dreamer once again shows an elegant body posture. The use of multiple chrome strips also becomes a very important finishing touch. At the same time, although the new car is an new energy MPV, the front and rear door handles are not built for reducing wind resistance, but adopt the currently popular hidden design in the new energy field, and are more familiar with the outside.

In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Voyah Dreamer are 5315/1980/1810 millimeters, and the wheelbase is 3200 millimeters, reaching the level of a large MPV.

The bottom design, featuring multi-piece chrome-plated wheels, adds a touch of atmosphere and luxury to the entire vehicle. It is also paired with Pirelli UC6, which is defined as a very balanced all-round performance tire, with a size of 20 inches, which is also relatively coordinated with the vehicle’s size.

Compared with the exaggerated design of the front face, the tail shape appears much simpler. However, the overall design style still emphasizes stability, and there are also unique features such as a set of combination light strips used for the tail width lamp.

If the previous content always feels that this Dreammaker is inseparable from the FREE, then from the moment of entering the car, they begin to take different paths. In comparison, the luxurious degree of the materials used in the Voyah Dreammaker’s interior is obviously inclined towards comfort and luxury style. The overall interior is based on blue and white with gold as a highlight, and the application of these three colors creates an elegant and high-end feel.

Front row features intelligent system

So let’s talk about the front row first. Although the intelligent infotainment screen in the Voyah Dreammaker no longer supports the liftable function, it still exudes a strong sense of technology. At the same time, the infotainment system in the front row of Voyah Dreammaker also takes into account the entertainment and multi-functional needs of both driver and passengers, instead of adopting an obviously biased preference between the front and rear rows as most MPVs do.

The multifunctional flat-bottomed steering wheel is equipped with common functions on both sides.

Below the center of the triple screen is a touch control panel, which integrates the adjustment functions of the entire vehicle’s air conditioning, including the hazard warning lights. The overall operational sensitivity and texture are not compromised.

Further down is a yacht-style gear knob that can be pushed forward and backward, with electronic parking buttons and two cup holders placed around it.

Basically, we covered the front row part. Let’s take a look at the essence of an MPV, which is believed to be located in the rear row.## Luxurious Rear Seats

First of all, it should be mentioned that the Landtour Dreamer offers two options for the layout of the rear seats. One is the seven-seater version that most people are familiar with and likely to choose. The car showcased at the auto show, however, is the flagship four-seater version. This version takes luxury and extravagance to the extreme as it allocates more than half of the passenger compartment to two seats.

As a result, it is a breeze to enjoy all kinds of rest and natural pleasures as if in first-class cabins, and it goes without saying that ventilation, heating, and massages are not overlooked. Moreover, this seat inherits the feature of Landtour’s models: being quite comfortable, which makes it the embodiment of ride comfort.

Meanwhile, a partition has been designed for the rear seats. On the one hand, it takes the form of a mini-bar, extending the second row and separating it from the front, which greatly enhances privacy of the rear seats.

On the other hand, a small televison from Xiaomi, which can be raised and lowered, is installed in the middle of the rear seats to further isolate the rear seat passengers from the front.

In the position of the central armrest of the rear seats, many interactions and controls can be done through a small screen in front of it. At the same time, the new car offers a range of enjoyment-oriented configurations such as heated/cooled cup holders, built-in refrigerators, and so on.

Overall, the interior of the Landtour Dreamer pushes the luxury of its exterior to greater extremes. In addition to the above-mentioned details, the car also features a starry sky roof above the rear, which used to be exclusive to lie-flat first-class seats in an airplane cabin but now allows passengers to reach out and touch the stars. The materials used in the overall interior design are very soft, and a beige perforated leather with a unique texture is extensively used, which creates an atmosphere of grace without sacrificing luxury.### Summary

It is currently known that the powertrain of the Voyah Dreamer will first appear in a pure electric version, followed by an extended range version. The electric four-wheel drive version can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds. However, the range data for both versions has not been disclosed yet.

Although the price of the Voyah Dreamer has not been announced, and the new car is expected to be officially launched next year, based on the exhibited car at the auto show and its positioning, its price will not be lower than that of the Voyah FREE, expected to be in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. Whether the primarily family-oriented MPV consumers are willing to accept this price remains to be seen. Will the intelligent and luxury new energy MPV impress them? Let’s wait and see.
