• Distributor AI Mobility Co., Ltd. (บริษัท เอไอ โมบิลิตี้ จำกัด), a new subsidiary of AAS Group set up in 2026, appointed sole distributor by Dongfeng Motor Group (Autolifethailand, 2026-09-22¹, Naewna, 2026-09-23², The Nation PR, 2026-09-22³); Bangkokbiznews says the company was set up earlier in 2026 (Bangkokbiznews⁴). The official site states the same: "VOYAH enters Thailand through AI Mobility, its official distributor, part of AAS" (voyahthailand.com⁵).
• Agreement signed 2026-07-30 (The Nation PR³); announced 2026-09-22.
• Brand launch + official Thai price 2026-11-20 (Autolifethailand interview, 2026-10-27⁶, The Nation, 2026-10-28⁷); Bangkokbiznews confirms the 20 November date but not the pricing (Bangkokbiznews⁸ — the article shows no publication date).
• Sales start 2026-12-01 at the Ekkamai-Ramintra and Bangna showrooms (The Nation⁷); Autolifethailand says first deliveries happen during Motor Expo in early December (Autolifethailand⁶). Motor Expo 2026 runs 2–13 December at Challenger Hall 1–3, Muang Thong Thani; Voyah has a 220 m² booth (Autolifethailand — Motor Expo 2026 booth plan⁹).
• First model Dream, a 7-seat, 100% battery-electric luxury MPV (Autolifethailand⁶). Thai coverage also calls it the Dream 9 — see Which Dream?.
• Models on sale (as of 2026-11-03) none. Dream announced, with a date.
• Showrooms 2 in Bangkok at launch (Ekkamai-Ramintra, Bangna), 6 more Bangkok + regional sites planned for 2027.
• Current price band none official. Pre-launch estimates only: "roughly ฿2.59–3.0 million" from briefing materials (The Nation⁷); "expected not above ฿3 million" (Autolifethailand⁶); "may open at ฿2.5–3 million" (Carwizard¹⁰). None of these is an official price.
• Import imported from China. Bangkokbiznews says the EV is imported and qualifies for 0% duty under the ASEAN–China FTA (Bangkokbiznews — AAS wins VOYAH rights⁴), and the first 500 cars are being shipped to Thailand by sea (Autolifethailand⁶). Neither source uses the word "CBU"; evchu records the launch cars as CBU on that basis ◐.

Thai spelling. The distributor's own appointment release, as printed by Autolifethailand and Naewna, writes the brand โวย่า ("VOYAH (โวย่า)") (Autolifethailand¹, Naewna²); Bangkokbiznews uses the same spelling (Bangkokbiznews⁸). Other spellings seen: โวห์ย่าห์ (Posttoday, 2026-09-25¹³) and วอยาห์ (car250 category label). The official Thai site uses Latin "VOYAH" only. Bangkokbiznews writes the model ดรีม 9 (Bangkokbiznews⁴).

AAS Group is a Thai premium-car retail group of almost 40 years' standing ("a specialist in premium automobiles for nearly 40 years" — voyahthailand.com⁵; "more than four decades" — The Nation PR³). AAS is also the Porsche importer (AAS Auto Service Co., Ltd., founded 1986) and the Avatr distributor (Infinite Automobile Co., Ltd.) — see the Porsche and Avatr brand pages. For Voyah, AAS set up a separate new company, AI Mobility Co., Ltd., in 2026 to handle import, distribution, the dealer network and nationwide customer service (Autolifethailand¹, Naewna²; year from Bangkokbiznews⁴).

• AI Mobility CEO: Anuwat Inthraphuvasak (อนุวัชร อินทรภูวศักดิ์) (Naewna², Bangkokbiznews⁸).
• Dongfeng counterpart: Wang Long (หวัง หลง), Chairman, China Dongfeng Motor Industry Import and Export Co., Ltd. (Naewna², The Nation PR³).
• Agreement: Sole Distributor Agreement with Dongfeng Motor Group, signed 2026-07-30 (The Nation PR³). Dongfeng originally planned Hong Kong as the Dream's first export market, then moved the debut to Thailand to coincide with the Thai business launch (Bangkokbiznews⁸).

Volume targets: 500 units in the rest of 2026 and 1,200 in 2027, cut from an earlier 2,800 for 2027 because new excise rules are expected to raise prices of Chinese imports (Autolifethailand⁶, Bangkokbiznews⁸) ✓. The first lot of 500 cars is being shipped by sea (Autolifethailand⁶). Grandprix's headline reports AI Mobility aims for 500 bookings at the debut (Grandprix¹⁴) ยังไม่ยืนยัน — headline only; the article body was not read.

Investment: ฿200–300 m for at least six showroom/service sites in Bangkok and the provinces (Bangkokbiznews⁸). Marketing budget ฿50–60 m for the rest of 2026 (The Nation⁷).

Local assembly: none yet. Initial cars are CBU imports from China. AI Mobility and Dongfeng are studying Thai assembly: a first phase of contract SKD assembly, possibly a JV with one partner, possibly land and a plant later — no decision until the government's new excise structure is clear (Autolifethailand⁶, Bangkokbiznews⁸, The Nation⁷). Bangkokbiznews reports the industry expectation that excise on imported EVs rises from 10% to 30% or more in 2027 versus 2% for locally assembled cars ยังไม่ยืนยัน — not an official rate.

Why BEV only: BEVs from China enter at 0% import duty under the ASEAN–China FTA, while a PHEV pays 80%, so the Thai Dream is the EV version (Bangkokbiznews — AAS wins VOYAH rights⁴).

Showrooms#

Sources: The Nation⁷, Autolifethailand⁶ (both list the same sites and quarters; Autolifethailand writes "MSphere" for Emsphere).

Service centers#

Aftersales operations in Bangkok begin 2026-12-25. Parts come from the AAS Kalapaphruek Service Hub warehouse; collision repair goes to an AAS Body & Paint Centre; lead EV technicians are trained and certified at Dongfeng's headquarters in Wuhan; roadside assistance and a call centre are planned (The Nation⁷). Parts-delivery target: within 9 working days, with a local parts stock (Autolifethailand⁶).

Charging network partners#

None announced. ยังไม่ยืนยัน

Warranty terms#

From the distributor's pre-launch briefing, as reported by The Nation (The Nation⁷) ◐ — a second source has not confirmed it, and the official warranty document will come with the launch:

• Vehicle: 5 years / 150,000 km
• High-voltage battery: 8 years / 200,000 km
• Roadside assistance: offered; term not published
• Wallbox: not announced

A 5.3 m, three-row, seven-seat luxury MPV with "zero-gravity" second-row seats (CnEVPost¹²) and power sliding doors on both sides (Carwizard¹⁰). AI Mobility names the Toyota Alphard and Lexus as rivals (Autolifethailand⁶); Carwizard adds the XPENG X9, Zeekr 009 and Denza D9 (Carwizard¹⁰).

Which Dream? (Dream vs Dream 9)#

China sells two Dreams: the original Dream (梦想家, on sale since 2022, BEV / PHEV / EREV) and the new flagship Dream 9 (Dreamer 9), launched in Beijing on 2026-09-22 as a BEV and a PHEV (Wikipedia¹⁵, CnEVPost¹²). The Thai car is the Dream 9 BEV ◐:

• Bangkokbiznews, twice, names the Dream 9 as the first Thai model and says Thailand gets the EV version (2026-09-23⁴, Dream 9 targets 3 markets¹¹).
• Posttoday and Carwizard say the same (Posttoday¹³, Carwizard¹⁰).
• The distributor's late-October briefings call it the "VOYAH DREAM" (Autolifethailand⁶, The Nation⁷, Bangkokbiznews⁸). The Nation's report quotes "more than 30,000 pre-orders in China within 48 hours of launch", the figure Bangkokbiznews gives for the Dream 9 (Bangkokbiznews — Dream 9¹¹).

evchu lists the car as the Dream, the name the distributor uses, and identifies it as the Dream 9 in the generation name. The Thai marketing name (Dream or Dream 9) is ยังไม่ยืนยัน until 2026-11-20.

Lineage & platform#

• Generation: Dream 9 (China pre-sales 2026-09-05, launch 2026-09-22) (CnEVPost pre-sales¹⁶, CnEVPost launch¹²). Wikipedia treats it as a luxury variant sold alongside the original Dream rather than a replacement (Wikipedia¹⁵).
• Platform: ยังไม่ยืนยัน for the Dream 9. The original Dream uses Dongfeng's ESSA (Electric Smart Secure Architecture) (Wikipedia¹⁵); the Dream 9 launch material names only its chassis: "Huju Chassis P" (The Nation PR — Dream 9 debut¹⁷), "Huju Premium" (CnEVPost¹²).
• Architecture: 800 V — stated for all Dream 9 versions (CnEVPost¹², The Nation PR¹⁷) and for the Thai car in the distributor briefing (The Nation⁷) ✓.
• Origin: imported from China — recorded as CBU ◐ (see At a glance; no source uses the word "CBU"). Plant ยังไม่ยืนยัน — the original Dream is built in Wuhan (Wikipedia¹⁵).

Lineup events#

Trims#

The Thai trim line-up is not published. China sells the Dream 9 BEV in three trims — Ultra ¥429,900, Ultra+ ¥469,900 and Lizun Edition ¥529,900 (CnEVPost¹², Bangkokbiznews¹¹) — but which of these Thailand gets has not been announced (Bangkokbiznews¹¹). Until the launch, evchu lists one provisional trim, marked upcoming, with no price.

BEV AWD 7-Seat — no Thai price (upcoming)

Standard equipment

The Thai equipment list is not published. China-market Dream 9 equipment, for reference only: Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 with one 896-line lidar, three solid-state lidars and 37 sensors in total; HarmonySpace 6 cockpit; three-chamber air suspension with dual-valve EDC dampers; rear-wheel steering up to 10°; second-row "Zero Gravity" seats that rotate; 21.4″ second-row ceiling screen; VOYAH Sound with 35 speakers; 13 L heated/cooled fridge; 11 airbags (CnEVPost¹², The Nation PR¹⁷, Posttoday¹³); power sliding doors on both sides (Carwizard¹⁰). Carwizard lists a 17.3″ ceiling screen and 22 speakers instead (Carwizard¹⁰) — the figures conflict; Thai spec to confirm at launch.

• Dream 9 PHEV (1.5 T + dual motors, 65 kWh, 555–560 kW): plug-in hybrid — out of scope. Not planned for Thailand at launch; it would pay 80% import duty (Bangkokbiznews⁴, CnEVPost¹²).
• Original Dream (2022–, China BEV 82–108.7 kWh NMC, PHEV, EREV): not announced for Thailand (Wikipedia¹⁵). Its PHEV and EREV versions would be out of scope anyway.
