Voyah “Taishan” Flagship PHEV SUV: A Zeekr 9X Challenger with a 65 kWh Battery

Voyah, the premium new energy vehicle brand under Dongfeng Motor Corporation, just pulled the wraps off its new flagship SUV, internally codenamed “Taishan.” This beast is set to shake up the premium PHEV market with a six-seat configuration and Voyah’s smart hybrid system.

Performance and Range That Impress

Underneath its sleek exterior, the “Taishan” boasts a 65 kWh ternary lithium battery. This powerhouse gives it a substantial CLTC pure electric range of 370 km. For those longer hauls, the combined range stretches beyond an impressive 1400 km. And when it’s time to refuel, the 5C ultra-fast charging capability means you can juice up the battery from 20% to 80% in a blistering 12 minutes. This kind of charging speed is a definite game-changer for long-distance drivers and daily commuters alike.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Design

The “Taishan” isn’t just about range, it is also packed with tech. It features four LiDAR sensors, integrating Huawei Qiankun ADS 4, a sophisticated advanced driving assistance system, alongside air suspension and rear-wheel steering for a smooth and controlled ride. Inside, drivers and passengers will experience the HarmonySpace 5 cockpit, promising a highly connected and intuitive user experience.

Visually, the “Taishan” makes a statement. The front fascia rocks a large, waterfall-style shield grille, crowned by an integrated LED light strip that flows into an illuminated Voyah logo. The split-headlight design tucks the main high and low beam units into the side air intakes, giving it a distinctive and aggressive look.

From the side, the SUV showcases a stylish two-tone body, complemented by streamlined star door handles and wing-style welcome pedals. The rear is capped off with a sleek, full-width taillight design.

Dimensions and Market Position

This new SUV is generously sized, measuring 5230mm in length, 2025mm in width, and 1817mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3120mm. While its official name is still under wraps, whispers from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology suggest it might be called the “Voyah 9L Taishan.”

Upon its market debut, the “Taishan” is poised to go head-to-head with premium models like the Aito M9 and the Zeekr 9X. Analysts project its starting price to hover around 450,000 yuan (about 62,000 USD), positioning it competitively in the luxury SUV segment. With its combination of impressive range, advanced technology, and striking design, the Voyah “Taishan” is definitely one to watch in the evolving Chinese EV landscape. In fact Voyah is not new to this market having been an established presence in china for some time. Chinese brands frequently release new vehicles like the Taishan. Other brands also frequently release new SUV models to meet the market needs.

This commitment to innovation and robust competition continues to drive the rapid evolution of the new energy vehicle sector in China, setting new benchmarks for the global automotive industry. This is also highlighted by the incredible number of EV exports from China. This new Voyah also underscores how seriously manufacturers are taking the EV sales race.
