As a medium and large MPV under Dongfeng's "VOYAH New Energy", the VOYAH Dreamer PHEV is also a relatively popular product in the plug-in hybrid MPV market, with monthly sales of 3,034 units, although it is not remarkable, it is already ranked third in the same market (only for plug-in hybrid version). Not only that, in order to further strengthen the product competitiveness of the VOYAH Dreamer PHEV, VOYAH officially announced the exterior design of the new Dreamer PHEV some time ago, and the new car is scheduled to start pre-sale on August 28, and will also be officially unveiled at the upcoming Chengdu Auto Show. So speaking of which, let's take a look at the different experiences that this new version of the VOYAH Dreamer PHEV can bring us.
First of all, from the basic exterior styling, although the facelift of the VOYAH Dreamer PHEV is called a "facelift", the overall changes are actually not small. For example, the front face of the new car has been replaced with a new style of grille, and the whole shape looks more classy than the old model. At the same time, the waterfall grille, which is denser than the old model, bears some resemblance to BMW's kidney grille and Mercedes-Benz Maybach's front grille. In addition, the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV also gets more large chrome trim strips, which further accentuate the luxurious atmosphere of the whole car.
It is also worth noting that directly above the front windshield of the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV, a new watchtower-style lidar has been added, of course, in addition to this, more intelligent perception hardware, as well as a new intelligent driver assistance system (Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0), will also make the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV have a better intelligent driving experience than before.
At the same time, when we come to the side of the body, we can see that a lot of chrome trim strips are also given to decorate, and the new style of wheel shape is also consistent with the front grille style, and the denser multi-spoke wheels can also give a stronger business atmosphere. As for the rear part, the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV continues the design language of the old body, and the split lamp cluster adopts a personalized light source design, which is also highly recognizable when lit. In addition, the rear of the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV also has more chrome trim than the old model, which can also improve the visual sense of luxury at the rear.
In terms of other intelligent configurations, although the interior map of the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV has not yet been announced, it is certain that the new car will be equipped with Huawei's HarmonyOS car machine system, compared with the current models on sale, the fluency and functionality of the new car have been significantly improved, and it also supports Huawei's "Internet of Everything" function.
In terms of powertrain, the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV is expected to be equipped with the third-generation VOYAH power system, which includes a powerful electric four-wheel drive system, a relatively larger battery pack in the same class, and a high-thermal efficiency hybrid engine, etc., so that the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV has better fuel economy. And as you can see from the promotional poster, the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV is going to lead the automotive hybrid technology into the 3.0 era, so the final actual performance of this car is still worth our expectations. As for the chassis suspension, the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV still provides a front double wishbone rear five-link suspension structure, while the high-end models will also be given an intelligent magic carpet air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system, so as to further improve the driving comfort of the vehicle.
Editor's summary
I have to say that the upgrade of the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV is still very obvious, although we can only make a basic description and conjecture about the appearance of the new VOYAH Dreamer PHEV, but we can also feel the relatively stronger competitiveness of the new car. Moreover, compared with the current VOYAH Dreamer PHEV, the new car is more convincing with Huawei's ADS 3.0 intelligent driving solution, and more intelligent sensing hardware can also support richer and more advanced intelligent driving functions. Therefore, on the whole, with the current sales of the VOYAH Dreamer PHEV, if the new model can be given the same price as the current model after it is launched, or if it is more volatile, then it will indeed set off a new wave in the plug-in hybrid MPV market.
