Dongfeng Motor's EV brand Voyah (HKEX: 7489) launched the 2027 Zhiyin SUV on Friday, equipping the new model with Huawei's next-generation LiDAR and assisted driving system while offering a limited-time promotional price to attract buyers.
The 2027 Zhiyin is offered in only 1 variant, named the 896-channel Qiankun Edition, with a limited-time promotional price of 197,900 yuan ($29,470) and an official guide price of 212,900 yuan.
By comparison, the previous version of the Zhiyin launched by Voyah in August 2025 started at 202,900 yuan, offering 2 rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variants and 1 all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant at the time, with the top-spec trim priced at 242,900 yuan.
The core change in the new Zhiyin lies in its assisted driving hardware. The new model is equipped with Huawei's next-generation 896-channel dual-optical-path image-grade LiDAR, paired with Huawei Qiankun ADS 5, whereas the previous version used a 192-channel LiDAR and ADS 4.
Voyah said the LiDAR adopts integrated dual-focal technology to balance both short-range and long-range perception. The new vehicle supports features including highway and urban navigation assist, parking space-to-parking space 3.0, and valet parking assist, and is equipped with the omnidirectional Collision Avoidance System (CAS) 5.0.
Developed on an 800V high-voltage silicon carbide platform, the 2027 Zhiyin comes standard with a rear-wheel-drive single motor delivering a system power of 230 kW (308 hp). Buyers can pay an additional 20,000 yuan to opt for a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with a total system power of 395 kW.
The new model packs an 81 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, offering a CLTC range of 650 kilometers (404 miles) for the RWD version and 600 kilometers for the AWD version.
