Dongfeng Voyah Dream in Beijing – 1,530 km CLTC PHEV or 700 km CLTC EV, which one will Malaysia get?

Vellphard, Wey G9, M8, X9, D9, 009 – if you don’t want any of these, you might want to wait for this. It’s a bit hard to avoid saying Voyah as if you were Bruce Lee, or not think about an English word referring to people who like to watch others do certain things, but what’s in a name when you’ve got this much luxury, eh?

Anyway, the Voyah Dream (called the Dreamer in some markets) is going to be one of three Dongfengs that will make their Malaysian debut at June’s Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS), the other two being the MHero II off-roader and 008 family SUV. MHero and Voyah are to Dongfeng what Tank and Wey respectively are to GWM.

In China, the Voyah Dream can be had in PHEV and EV versions – the latest PHEV version has 800V architecture, 5C charging, a 62.5-kWh battery (there’s also a 43.2 kWh option with a 225-km CLTC EV-only range), a 350-km CLTC EV-only range and a 1,530-km combined range, while the EV version has a 700-km CLTC range, a 108.7 kWh NMC battery and two electric motors (551 PS total).

Length, width, height and wheelbase are respectively 5,315, 1,980, 1,820 and 3,200 mm. The 653 PS/915 Nm PHEV version (1.5T + two electric motors) does 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and maxes out at 203 km/h.

There’s rear-wheel steering (up to five degrees, tank turns are possible – imagine an MPV doing it!), a 29-inch augmented-reality head-up display, a 17.3-inch ceiling monitor, a 15.6-inch touch-screen, a 13-litre centre console fridge and air suspension with continuous damping control.

There were seven- and four-seat versions on display at Auto China 2026 in Beijing. Inside, you generally find gold-plated bits where you’d expect to see chrome (including on the two-tone steering wheel!), but it’s the four-seat version that really takes the cake.

This extremely plush guy has a curtained partition between the two rows of seats on which is mounted a huge TV. There are also elaborate footrests that combine with the reclining seats to provide a business class-style lie-flat sleeping area, and all windows save for the front ones are curtained.

Whether or not we’ll get this four-seat version is probably something we can only Dream about, but the seven-seater is almost a given. The more pertinent question is, will we get the PHEV or the EV? Of all the Chinese luxo-MPVs currently in Malaysia, only the GAC M8 and GWM Wey G9 are PHEVs.
