The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced today the 355th batch of “Road Motor Vehicle Production Enterprises and Products Public Notice”, and the Voyah Dreamer appeared in the notice.
Currently, the known information about the Dreamer is as follows:
Price
On April 10th, Voyah Dreamer announced the pre-sale price range. The pre-sale price range for the 7-seater version is 380,000 to 480,000 yuan, and the customized four-seater version is priced from 600,000 yuan.
It should be noted that the current announced price range is “pre-sale price”, and the official price range is expected to be slightly lowered based on this in the future.
Dimensions
Length, width and height: 5,315 x 1,985 x 1,820 mm, wheelbase 3,200 mm, with two options of 7-seater and 4-seater. The top-end model is a four-seater. The curb weight of the pure electric model is 2,620 kg, which is 85 kg lighter than the extended-range model.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Voyah Dreamer offers four different wheel styles, with tire specifications of 255/50 R20.
Power Parameters
- The maximum power of the pure electric version is 320 kW, the maximum torque is 620 N·m, and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is 5.9 seconds;
- The maximum power of the extended-range version is 290 kW, the maximum torque is 610 N·m, and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is 6.9 seconds.
Both models have a dual-motor four-wheel drive layout and are equipped with air suspension and adjustable shock absorbers. The suspension structure is a front double wishbone and rear multi-link. The battery capacity of the pure electric and extended-range versions was not mentioned in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announcement.
Conclusion
Currently, Voyah Dreamer has not yet revealed specific range information, but we can refer to the Voyah FREE:
-
Pure electric four-wheel drive version, battery capacity 88 kWh, NEDC range 475 km (295 miles);
-
Pure electric rear-wheel drive version, battery capacity 88 kWh, NEDC range 505 km (314 miles);
-
Extended-range four-wheel drive version, fuel tank volume 56 L, battery capacity 33 kWh, NEDC comprehensive range 860 km (534 miles).The range performance of Voyah FREE is quite ordinary compared to its peers. If Voyah Dreams adopts the same three-electric configuration as Voyah FREE, the range will probably only get worse.
Voyah Dreams has a much larger body size than Voyah FREE, so we hope to be surprised by the battery capacity. From the currently known information, the extended-range version of Voyah Dreams is the correct way to go.
The 7-seat version of Voyah Dreams is priced at ¥380,000-¥480,000, which is basically targeting the Buick GL8 Aviar, while the four-seat version with a starting price of ¥600,000 competes with higher-end fuel MPVs such as the Alphard and Vellfire.
In terms of hardware, Voyah Dreams surpasses GL8 in power, chassis configuration, comfort, and intelligence configuration. The configuration of the 4-seat version is even “judged to have reached the top”. However, the brand appeal defined as luxury is slightly lacking for the Voyah brand, and brand value is a point that buyers of luxury MPVs are more concerned about.
Therefore, how to shape its brand influence is a point that Voyah needs to think more deeply about regarding Voyah Dreams.
