For reference, Voyah just launched its first flagship six-seater plug-in hybrid SUV under the Taishan series last month with a price range of 379,900 to 459,900 yuan (53,200 to 65,000 USD), also the first Chinese vehicle to feature a three-chamber air suspension system with Electronic Damper Control and 16° bidirectional independent rear-wheel steering.
This model is equipped with Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 4.0 advanced driving assistance system, HarmonyOS Cockpit 5.0, 5C fast-charging, 22-way electrically adjustable zero-gravity seats, and a 32-speaker audio system. It is likely the Voyah Taishan 8 will adopt similar configurations.
In comparison, the Voyah Taishan 8 is smaller with body dimensions of 5200/2025/1814 mm (l/w/h), and a wheelbase of 3090 mm. The Voyah Taishan measures 5230/2025/1817 mm, with a 3120 mm wheelbase.
