In a puzzling Facebook reveal, Voyah introduced its plans to bring the world's fastest electric MPV to Europe. The specific release date and pricing are, unfortunately, a mystery as of now. And, if we're scratching our heads about something else - it's the name. Is it the DREAM or the DREAMER? Apparently, even Voyah's marketing team is unsure. It seems most Chinese sources refer to it as Dreamer but the EU destined version may be called Dream. Labeled as the world's fastest MPV, the Voyah Dream doesn't simply boast speed; it brings an amalgamation of features, some seemingly pulled straight out of luxury sports cars. One can't help but appreciate the vastness of this MPV - standing at a staggering 5,315 mm in length, 1,985 mm in width, and 1,820 mm in height. Yet, it's closer to the ground than most - almost mimicking a sports car's low-slung stance. It has a ground clearance of just 125 mm.
The sportiness doesn't stop there. The
Dream(er) claims to go from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 5.8 seconds, at least in
its standard EV version. Sounds more like a sports coupe than an MPV, right?
But here's the twist: its spacious interior can comfortably accommodate seven
people. Now, onto that interior. The
triple-screen set-up at the front is sure to make any tech enthusiast nod in
approval. And if that's not enough, the first two rows of seats offer heating,
ventilation, and of course, massage functions. A little relaxation while
zipping around doesn't sound like a bad idea. Dreamer's top-end version offers
a DYNAudio sound system for the final luxury touch. And for the tech-savvy
drivers out there, the L2 autonomous driving system comes with a plethora of
features, including automatic parking, lane-keeping assistance, and more.
Although, note that not all these features come with the base version.
The trunk space stands impressive at {427
liters} with all three rows of seats in place. The Dream provides different
powertrain versions. The EV version with a standard battery boasts twin
electric motors, offering a total of 435 horsepower, while the EREV
(range-extender) version is slightly dialed down - 394 horsepower and 10 Nm
less than the EV model. The standard EV Dream comes with an 82-kWh battery,
claiming a range of 475 km. And if you're someone who's constantly paranoid
about running out of charge, the extended version with a 108.7
kWh battery offers a 605 km range. The EREV version features a 1.5-liter
turbocharged petrol engine that's solely responsible for juicing up the
25.57-kWh battery. This hybrid approach promises an all-electric range of just
82 km, but with the range extender, it goes up to 750 km. Though, there's an
amusing catch. The measurement metrics for the EV and EREV versions differ,
leading to some range discrepancies. The EV version used the CLTC cycle for its
results, while the EREV went through the WLTC process.
To match diverse pockets and desires,
Voyah has introduced different series and price ranges in China. Whether you're
looking at the Family, Think, or Dream series or pondering between the
four-seat or seven-seat version, there's a Dreamer (or is it Dream?) for you.
It remains a mystery for now if the company will replicate the model portfolio
and the pricing for the EU market. In China, the Family version starts at an
equivalent of € 51,710, the Think model starts at € 54,500 and the
topof-the-range Dreamer Dream starts at € 61,490. A larger battery pack
requires an additional € 7,000, and the 4-seat version of the Dream starts at an
eye-watering € 89.450. Add the bigger battery, and you have a € 96,400 world's
fastest electric MPV that wants to compete with the best luxury brands out
there. Voyah's electric MPV is a blend of luxury, sportiness, and
functionality. While it's gearing up to contend with premium EV brands, only
time will tell how well this Dream(er) fares in Europe. Its only competitor is
the Mercedes EQV 300 Extra Long, which comes with a 100 kWh battery and a
measly 204 horsepower electric motor, and with a 417 km range.
