Voyah, the premium electric vehicle (EV) brand of Dongfeng Motor (HKG: 0489), made its MPV model Dreamer officially available in China on Saturday, following the model's unveiling at the end of November last year.

Voyah is offering four versions of the model, with three seven-seat versions starting at a range of RMB 369,900 ($55,485) to RMB 439,900 and a customized version starting at RMB 639,900.

Voyah announced the MPV on November 17 last year, positioning it as "the world's first large luxury electric MPV."

Pre-orders for the MPV began on April 7, with a starting price of RMB 380,000, and Voyah said later that day that it had received more than 2,000 pre-orders for the model within five hours.

Voyah said Saturday that the model has received more than 4,000 orders since the pre-sale and deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter.

Like the company's first model, the Voyah FREE SUV, the Dreamer MPV is also available in an all-electric version as well as a version with extended-range technology.

Based on Voyah's ESSA electric vehicle architecture, the vehicle measures 5,315/1,980/1,810 mm in length, width and height and has a wheelbase of 3,200 mm.

The vehicle will offer intelligent electric four-wheel drive and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as fast as 5.9 seconds, making it the world's fastest MPV, the company previously said.

According to information released by Voyah yesterday, the all-electric version of the Dreamer MPV is powered by dual motors both with 160 kW of maximum power and 620Nm of peak torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds.

It can charge from 20 percent to 80 percent in as little as 20 minutes and has a CLTC range of 475 km for the standard-range version and 605 km for the long-range version.

The extended-range version has front and rear motors with a maximum power of 130kW and 160kW respectively and a peak torque of 610Nm. The version can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and has a WLTC range of 750 km.

The Dreamer MPV's smart cockpit uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8155 chip, the same as current mainstream flagship EVs. It also has L2 assisted driving and remote parking functions.
