Seats swivel, slide sideways and massage: This is what the Chinese luxury Voyah Dream 9 looks like—more than 60-thousand dollars

In China, the luxury MPV category is what large SUVs are for us: a car executives and families who want maximum space use to get around. Voyah Dream 9 is the new flagship of this class, and technically it’s mainly a showcase of what Huawei can deliver today.

Five versions and a price that starts above 60-thousand dollars

As reported by the portal CnEVPost, pre-sales started on September 5, 2026, with prices ranging from 429 900 to 529 900 yuan, i.e. roughly from $63,420 and up. The customer can choose from five versions—three plug-in hybrid and two fully electric—at the Ultra, Ultra+ and Lizun trim levels. If you order during pre-sale, you can get a discount of up to 50-thousand yuan.

The dimensions match the class: 5,325 mm in length, 1,998 mm in width and a wheelbase of 3,200 mm. Up front, a massive chrome grille dominates, turning the car more into a limousine than a family van.

555 kW in the hybrid, 120 kWh in the electric model

The plug-in hybrid version combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with electric motors on both the front and rear axles, for a total output of 555 kW. The battery is 65 kWh and supports fast charging at 5C: from 20 to 80% in 12 minutes, which is unusually fast for a hybrid.

The fully electric version is built on a pair of motors rated at 175 kW in the front and 300 kW in the rear. What’s more interesting is the battery: 120 kWh, which, according to Voyah, is the biggest you’ll find today in the MPV segment. The manufacturer has not yet disclosed the range.

The chassis got three-chamber air suspension with adaptive dampers and a rear axle with 10-degree steering. With a car that’s over five meters long, it’s a feature you’ll appreciate every time you park.

Huawei everywhere you look

The autonomous functions are handled by Huawei ADS 5, fed with data from 37 sensors. These include the main lidar with dual optical path and 896 channels, plus three solid-state lidars. The system covers city driving, highway driving and parking, and the architecture is designed for L3 autonomy.

The onboard system is HarmonySpace 6 built on the MoLA 2.0 architecture with a multimodal language model. Huawei also provides XPixel headlights that can project navigation arrows onto the road. So Voyah is essentially selling a car that’s a Huawei technology showcase both inside and out.

The cabin is three-row, and the highlight is the second-row seats. They swivel, slide to the side, and offer a zero-gravity mode plus mechanical massage. Exactly this is why companies buy cars like this in China. The rear row is a proper office space as well as a place to relax.

Up front, there’s a continuous full-width display across the dashboard. Voyah clearly bet that in this class, you don’t compete with engines anymore — but with how the car feels from the inside.

Will we see it here at some point?

Almost certainly not in this form. Voyah is part of the Dongfeng group, and in the European market it currently offers only a fraction of its lineup. Plus, the luxury MPV segment is a category that is practically not sold to us. For similar money, Slovak buyers usually opt for large SUVs or station wagons.

What’s interesting is that it’s more of a direction-setting demonstration. The combination of lidars, a large battery, and Huawei’s ready-made software ecosystem is gradually moving into cheaper models that are already arriving here. Dream 9 shows where the ceiling is today.
