Large three-row crossovers are gaining popularity in China, and Dongfeng has prepared such a model for its most prestigious brand, Voyah. The flagship crossover was announced back in April, and now Voyah Taishan is shown in light camouflage in branded photos — and the first details have emerged.
Even through the decorative film, it is clear that the appearance of the upcoming crossover is made in the same style as the recently announced Voyah Passion L sedan . The steep front end is decorated with a monumental radiator grille with vertical slots, and two-level headlights are installed on the sides. Voyah itself is not shy about comparing Taishan with the Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover : in one of the published photos, the cars are standing next to each other. However, the dimensions of the two models are indeed similar: length – 5.3 meters, wheelbase – 3.1 meters. Although the direct competitor for the Voyah flagship will still be the Zeekr 9X .
There are no images of the interior yet, but it is known that Voyah Taishan will have a three-row cabin for six passengers, that is, there will be two seats in each row. It will also have advanced on-board electronics with artificial intelligence and augmented reality. The head of Voyah, Lu Fang, also said that the flagship crossover will have the latest Huawei ADS 4.0 Ultra autopilot. It will include four lidars at once, the body of one of them traditionally rises above the windshield. Such an autopilot will correspond to the third level of autonomy.
The Voyah Taishan crossover will be the first model built on the new Tianyuan platform with an 800-volt electrical system. According to preliminary information, a purely electric version and a serial hybrid will be available. Another feature of the new architecture will be the deep integration of Huawei solutions, meaning that the IT giant will provide not only its autopilot, but also other services. Previously, axial electric motors (each delivering up to 680 Nm), fully controlled chassis, steering by wire and active hydropneumatic suspension were announced for the flagship.
The Voyah Taishan crossover is currently undergoing final testing in the deserted northwest of China. The market debut is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year, which means the flagship could be first shown at the Chengdu Auto Show in early September.
