Large luxury MPV was previously offered as a full EV and comes in seven and four-seat variants.
Voyah has started deliveries of the extended-range edition of its Dream MPV export version to international markets with Belarus becoming the first recipients.
Priced from $69,700, the seven-seater MPV offers up to 915km of range, with the extended-range unit offering the instant acceleration of an electric car with the range of an internal combustion engine.
Extended-range EVs use electric motors to drive the wheels but feature both an engine and a large battery, with the engine acting as a generator for the battery, enabling the car to run on pure electric power for a longer period than standard plug-in hybrids or with the onboard engine working to top up the battery as it goes.
Voyah was the first Chinese EV maker to offer this technology in Europe with the Free SUV and the technology is steadily gaining traction among other Chinese EV makers such as AVATR already adopting the technology and more brands like XPeng and Zeekr announcing plans to use it in future models.
The EREV version of the Free has proven popular with buyers in Belarus leading Voyah to extend the offering to the Dream MPV, making it the only extended-range EV MPV available in the country.
In China, EREV versions of popular MPVs often outsell their fully electric counterparts by a volume of 9:1 as they offer additional flexibility when travelling between cities with less charging required.
The Voyah Dream is built on the ESSA platform and features dual electric motors with a combined output of 422hp, good for a 0-100kph sprint of just 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 200kph.
The Voyah Dream hasn’t yet been tested by EuroNCAP but in China claimed the full five stars on C-NCAP, in part thanks to five-layer protection for the battery and extensive use of high-strength steel in the vehicle construction.
Inside, the Dream features a triple-screen dashboard layout, reclining captain’s seats in the second row with built-in leg rests, USB sockets, and heating, ventilation, and massage functions. and a large panoramic roof with electric sunblind.
It can also be specified in a super-luxurious four-seater edition with a large rear screen and executive seats with additional high-end features.
