Voyah has turned the new Taishan X8 into an immediate sales story: the large SUV pulled in more than 15,000 pre-orders in its first 18 hours, and more than 60% of buyers went straight for the top Ultra+ version. The Voyah Taishan X8 is aimed at the Li Auto L9, especially in a segment where size, screen count, and battery bragging rights do a lot of the talking.
The Taishan X8 launches with five trims priced from 292,900 to 379,900 yuan. Voyah is also offering a temporary 10,000 yuan cash incentive made up of an insurance subsidy and trade-in support, plus option-package discounts of up to 12,000 yuan and a three-year interest-free loan with a 50% down payment. In other words: the sticker price is only part of the game, as usual.
Voyah Taishan X8 design and cabin tech
The Taishan X8 keeps Voyah’s familiar design language but adds a few flourishes aimed at the premium-crossover crowd. There is a light-up grille, DLP intelligent projection headlights, and the kind of dimensions that make parking a negotiation: 5200 x 2025 x 1814 mm, with a 3090 mm wheelbase.
Inside, the headline act is HarmonySpace 5.2, a cockpit system developed with Huawei. Voyah pairs it with a 10-inch instrument panel, two 15.6-inch front displays, a 55-inch projection screen, and ambient lighting, which is a fairly direct answer to rivals that have made cabin theatre part of the sales pitch.
Platform, suspension and driver-assist hardware
Underneath, the SUV rides on the Qingyun Driving Platform 2.0 with a double wishbone front suspension and a five-link rear setup. It also uses adaptive dampers and a three-chamber air suspension, the sort of hardware buyers in this class increasingly expect rather than admire from afar.
Voyah has not been shy about the sensor suite either. The Taishan X8 carries four lidars and roughly 30 other sensors for its driving-assist system, putting it squarely in the high-spec end of China’s fast-moving assisted-driving race.
PHEV and EV powertrain details
The Taishan X8 is offered with two powertrain choices, both of them dual-motor and both all-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.5-liter turbo engine with two electric motors and comes in 645 hp and 666 hp versions.
- PHEV output: 645 hp or 666 hp
- Electric range: 245 km or 370 km on the CLTC cycle
- Total range: 1321 km or 1506 km
- Fuel use with a depleted battery: 6.8 l/100 km or 6.5 l/100 km on WLTC
- 0-100 km/h: 5.9 seconds or 5.5 seconds
The all-electric version produces 645 hp and hits 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. Buyers can choose batteries rated for 603 km or 727 km of CLTC range, and fast charging from 20% to 80% takes 10-12 minutes. For a large SUV, that is the sort of spec sheet designed to make rivals work harder than they would like.
