New Energy MPV – The Dream Maker – Arrives on the Market

Finally, the sinking MPV market has welcomed a new player. In this article, we will talk about the first MPV entering the market with great fanfare – the Dream Maker from Landtourer.

First, let’s take a look at the product itself. The Dream Maker measures 531519851820, with a wheelbase of 3200mm. Judging from its appearance, it is definitely a large MPV.

The Dream Maker is equipped with the Landsea power system, supporting two power options: pure electric and intelligent multimode.

The pure electric version, also known as the “Zero Carbon” version, is equipped with 82kWh and 108.7kWh battery packs respectively, providing CLTC ranges of 475 km and 605 km to meet the different needs of urban and fixed intercity users.

Of greater interest to me is the intelligent multimode version. The power system is based on the Landtourer FREE range extender system, optimized for larger and heavier MPV models, with an added specific engine direct drive mode for certain scenarios. Achieving a comprehensive range of 750 km (pure electric range of 68 km) under the WLTC standard, the Dream Maker is calculated to consume 7.5L of fuel per 100 km according to the 51L fuel tank capacity, which directly surpasses the outdated GL8.

In terms of power output, the intelligent multimode Dream Maker can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.6 seconds, while the pure electric version can do it in 5.9 seconds. The driver must be skilled in handling the vehicle, otherwise the VIPs in the back seat may give you the boot.

As for the chassis, the Dream Maker is fully equipped – with an aluminum front double wishbone and rear five-link suspension system, it balances effective vehicle passability, driving stability, ride comfort, and ease of boarding and alighting, which is superior to traditional fuel-based MPVs. As the world’s first new energy MPV featuring an air suspension system and CDC with magic carpet function, the Dream Maker adjusts damping through intelligent regulation to achieve the ride and handling quality of an executive-class sedan. At high speeds, the air suspension system automatically lowers the vehicle body height, reducing wind resistance and energy consumption, while providing a sense of ceremony when passengers board or alight, because the vehicle body height is lowered during this process.

In terms of riding space experience, the Voyah Dreamhouse has a wheelbase of up to 3200mm according to the description, and is equipped with luxurious dual electric sliding doors as standard, with flexible 2+2+3 seven-seat and customized 2+2 four-seat layouts, all of which are premium seats. As a mobile high-level flat, the Voyah Dreamhouse can carry four 24-inch suitcases and seamlessly accommodate seven people without folding the third row, ensuring comfortable seating for every passenger and secure storage of luggage for multiple people, thanks to the advantage of 41 storage spaces in the entire vehicle. The 0-carbon version provides a 40L front trunk, which is both safe and private due to the electric drive system.

The Voyah Dreamhouse is equipped with zero-gravity and wide seats, the second-row independent seats with a 70° large-angle electric legrest and a maximum rear rotation angle of 155° backrest, and also comes with sleep headrests and three-level heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The seats are covered with OEKO-TEX eco-friendly skin-friendly fabric certified for baby protection, providing the ultimate luxurious riding experience. The three-zone intelligent air conditioner, pure air management, and the Danish sound system create an immersive and relaxing experience. With up to eighty noise reduction designs in the entire vehicle, the noise level in the Voyah Dreamhouse is lower than that of super-luxury executive cars under driving speeds of 60km/h, 80km/h, and 120km/h. Coupled with the quiet driving characteristics of the electric drive, it creates a deep-sea-level sound insulation effect, defining a new level of comfort for MPVs. By the way, the Voyah Dreamhouse is also the first MPV to be equipped with a heat pump air conditioning system, which is more efficient and comfortable.

On the intelligent vehicle system, the Voyah Dreamhouse is the world’s first MPV equipped with the flagship Qualcomm 8155 automotive chip, with stronger computing power and faster response speed, and coupled with a gigabit 5G network which brings smoother voice interaction, navigation, and audio-visual entertainment experience. The Dreamhouse is equipped with 1.4 meters of borderless intelligent triple screens, and the three screens work together to complete various tasks. The main and auxiliary drivers can push navigation, music, and other information to each other, thus achieving an independent and exclusive cockpit experience. The entire vehicle is equipped with 5 millimeter-wave radars, 7 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars, supporting 26 advanced driving assistance functions, including automatic lane changing when flashing turn signals, full-scene automatic parking, remote control parking, etc. It is the first MPV model equipped with an L2+ level driving assistance system, covering all scenarios of vehicle use. The car also boasts a leading OTA upgrade function for the entire vehicle, allowing the vehicle to stay up-to-date with the latest technology.

In terms of safety, the LanTu Dreamer adopts a Hyper Five-star safety standard, using the world’s first 2000Mpa integrated hot formed laser-welded door ring and 2000Mpa aluminum-silicon coating door anti-collision beam. With more than 70% of high-strength steel used throughout the entire car, the LanTu Dreamer creates an ultra-high-strength, cage-style cockpit framework, redefining MPV cockpit safety. Considering that MPV has a lower ground clearance, the LanTu Dreamer uses a full-scene battery safety protection system, which pioneers in 1500MPa hot-formed high-strength steel battery bottom guard plate, which leads the industry in battery safety. The LanTu Dreamer is also equipped with active safety systems such as fatigue driving monitoring and night vision system, which elevates MPV safety to a new height.

Finally, with regards to price, the LanTu Dreamer is divided into the “Dream,” “Thought,” and “Family” series, of which the “Family” series is priced at 369,900 RMB, the “Thought” series at 389,900 RMB, the “Dream” series at 439,900 RMB, and Private custom edition starting at 639,900 RMB.
