On November 21, 2025, the bustling halls of the 2025 Auto Guangzhou were abuzz with excitement as Dongfeng’s premium electric vehicle brand, Voyah, unveiled its most ambitious model yet: the Dream Shanhe, a flagship four-seat luxury multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) designed to redefine ultra-premium travel. The Dream Shanhe—officially launched at the event—lands with a starting price of 709,900 yuan (about $99,800), a figure that boldly signals Voyah’s intent to compete in the rarefied air of high-end mobility.
The Dream Shanhe, as reported by CarNewsChina, is not just another MPV. With its imposing dimensions—5,315 mm in length, 1,998 mm in width, and 1,800 mm in height, plus a 3,200 mm wheelbase—it commands attention even before the details emerge. And details, there are plenty: the newest edition debuts a striking “Moonlit Purple Cloud” exterior color, a floating brand emblem, and 20-inch “Star Swirl” wheels. For those who appreciate a touch of visual drama, the Shanhe’s two-tone body design and upgraded wheels set it apart from its more utilitarian siblings.
Inside, the Dream Shanhe is a sanctuary of comfort and technological wizardry. The “Starlight Surround” cockpit, as described by CarNewsChina, is anchored by a full partition that creates a truly independent rear cabin. The centerpiece? A jaw-dropping 50-inch IMAX screen that transforms the back seat into a private cinema. Rear passengers are treated to 166-degree “Space Capsule” zero-gravity seats, complete with a “Shanhe Cloud Couch” comfort mode—language that might sound fanciful until you see the plush, reclining seats in person.
But the indulgence doesn’t stop there. Voyah has lavished the Shanhe with amenities typically reserved for first-class airline cabins: an electric shoe storage compartment, intelligent warm footrests, a collector’s edition custom umbrella, and a smart dual-temperature refrigerator. Every detail is designed to cocoon occupants in luxury, making the Shanhe as much a rolling lounge as a means of transportation.
Under the hood, the Dream Shanhe is as sophisticated as its interior suggests. According to CnEVPost, the Shanhe is built on an 800V hybrid system paired with a 62.5-kWh battery pack. This setup delivers a CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) pure electric range of 320 kilometers, while a full tank and fully charged battery extend the combined range to an impressive 1,405 kilometers. For those with a need for speed—or at least, speed of charging—the Shanhe supports 5C fast charging, allowing the battery to jump from 20% to 80% in just 12 minutes. That’s the kind of convenience that could make even the most skeptical executive rethink their travel habits.
The plug-in hybrid version of the Dream Shanhe is no slouch in the power department either, boasting a combined system output of 420 kW (563 horsepower) and a robust 840 N·m of torque. The vehicle’s underpinnings are equally advanced, featuring a front double-wishbone and rear five-link suspension, intelligent four-wheel-drive, and air suspension with “Magic Carpet” CDC (Continuous Damping Control) functionality. These features promise a ride that’s both serene and responsive, even on less-than-perfect roads.
Technology is at the very core of the Dream Shanhe’s appeal. The integration of Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 4 assisted driving system and the HarmonySpace 5 cockpit system positions the Shanhe at the cutting edge of automotive innovation. The Ultra version of the Qiankun ADS 4 system brings enhanced autonomous driving capabilities, while the HarmonySpace 5 cockpit transforms the cabin into a digital command center. It’s a marriage of comfort and connectivity that’s increasingly sought after by modern luxury buyers.
Voyah’s journey to this moment has been swift. The brand, launched by Dongfeng in late 2020, introduced its first model, the Voyah Free, in June 2021. The Dream MPV followed in May 2022, quickly establishing itself as a contender in the premium segment. By August 2024, the facelifted Dream—now equipped with Huawei technology—entered the Chinese market, and its popularity was immediate: the updated Dream sold 85,627 units in just twelve months, according to China EV DataTracker. This momentum carried into 2025, with Voyah delivering a record 17,218 vehicles in October alone, a 69.52% increase over the previous year and a 13.10% jump from September.
The Dream Shanhe, however, represents a new pinnacle for the brand. Its price tag—over double that of the regular seven-seat Dream MPV, which starts at RMB 329,900 ($46,400)—places it firmly in the ultra-luxury category. The regular Dream MPV, while still impressive, is 20 mm taller but otherwise shares the same footprint as the Shanhe. Yet, it’s the Shanhe’s bespoke features and technological upgrades that justify the premium, as Voyah seeks to attract a clientele accustomed to the very best.
The 2026 Dream MPV lineup, revealed alongside the Shanhe, offers eight variants: five plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and three battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The PHEV variants begin at RMB 329,900, while the BEVs start at RMB 369,900. The highest-priced versions of each are equipped with the same HarmonySpace 5 and Qiankun ADS 4 Ultra system found in the Shanhe, underscoring Voyah’s commitment to spreading advanced technology across its range.
It’s worth noting the strategic significance of the Dream Shanhe’s debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show. The event is a major stage for automakers to showcase their latest innovations, and Voyah’s decision to launch its most luxurious model there signals both confidence and ambition. The ultra-luxury MPV segment, while niche, is growing in China and globally, as affluent consumers seek vehicles that offer privacy, comfort, and seamless connectivity—attributes the Shanhe delivers in spades.
For Dongfeng and Voyah, the Dream Shanhe isn’t just a halo product; it’s a statement of intent. By marrying cutting-edge technology with meticulous craftsmanship, they aim to challenge established luxury brands and carve out a new space in the premium electric vehicle market. If early sales and customer interest are any indication, the Dream Shanhe may well become a symbol of China’s automotive ascent, blending tradition, innovation, and a dash of audacity.
As the auto industry continues its rapid evolution, Voyah’s Dream Shanhe stands as a testament to how far Chinese luxury vehicles have come—and just how high they’re aiming to go.
