Taishan is Voyah's six-seat flagship SUV. It pairs a 65 kWh CATL battery with a 1.5T engine, dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, and is officially scheduled for the UAE in Q3 2026. This guide separates confirmed China data from still-unannounced UAE details.
For families considering a luxury Aito M9 or Zeekr 9X alternative with electric daily driving and long touring range, while waiting for final UAE dealer specifications.
📋 No official Gulf MSRP yet — OEM specs only. Request a dealer quote below.
🌍 Voyah UAE has scheduled Taishan's UAE introduction for Q3 2026. As of the 18 July review, UAE pricing, trims and final delivery timing were not published.
11 kW is a conservative export estimate; UAE AC rate and connector require the dealer specification sheet.
Voyah claims 5C and 20→80% in 12 minutes. The 325 kW value is a theoretical 5C × 65 kWh estimate, not a guaranteed UAE peak.

The community-proven kit to get YouTube, Google Maps and an Arabic keyboard onto your imported car's screen
🌍 Proven by thousands of owners (XDA + Russian and Gulf communities). Verified caveats: BYD removed ADB in v1.7+ (newer units need a downgrade or an AI Box), OTA updates can wipe apps, and video on the driver screen while moving is illegal and unsafe. APKs must be arm64-v8a.
Adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to any Android car screen
🌍 Thousands of Amazon owner reviews — the standard in the head-unit scene. On newer locked BYD DiLink units owners use the AI Box hardware variant instead of the APK — warranty-safe and non-invasive.
Unlocks YouTube, IPTV, video and web browsing inside Android Auto — free and open source
🌍 Installs on your phone (not the head unit) and needs developer mode + Unknown sources in Android Auto settings. For cars with Android Auto. Video while driving is unsafe and illegal — passengers and parked use only.
An app store of 100+ screen-adapted apps for Li Auto and Zeekr — installed from a laptop or the MagicBox dongle
🌍 The de-facto standard in the Russian Li Auto community (Russian UI). Gulf owners can replicate the same result free via plain ADB (adb install -g) — the service just adds convenience and a curated catalog.
The Gulf's community charging map — live status, owner reviews, and the 'free the charger' ping
🌍 Every report you file earns reputation and helps the next owner — this is OUR map, grown by our community.
Plan your Gulf road trip with charge stops tuned to OUR summer heat — not Europe's weather
🌍 Built for our roads: Salmi corridor, the Causeway, Riyadh–Dammam — under real summer conditions.
Read live EV battery data with a cheap Bluetooth OBD dongle
🌍 Used-buyer alert: true battery health (SOH) is NOT exposed via standard OBD on BYD — you get SoC and voltages only. For an authoritative report before buying a used BYD: dealer diagnostic (VDS) or a pro tool like the Foxwell NT710.
Saudi Arabia's national fast-charging network (PIF + Saudi Electricity Co.)
🌍 KSA only — the must-have app for any EV owner in Saudi Arabia. Network targets 5,000 chargers by 2030.
Petromin's charging network — 200+ locations across Saudi Arabia
🌍 KSA — largest network by locations (200+), strong at urban/retail sites. Complements EVIQ.
The UAE's federal charging network — expanding nationwide
🌍 UAE only — key for trips outside Dubai (Northern Emirates, Abu Dhabi highways). Scaling to 1,000 chargers by 2030.
Dubai's original charging network — 400+ stations
🌍 Dubai only — registration is mandatory for DEWA public chargers.
Practical Gulf guidance — separating verified experience from estimates and pending specifications.
Do not treat CLTC as a summer forecast. Check EV range and charging speed with all three rows cooled once the dealer car arrives.
Treat a China import as Chinese-only until its exact software build proves English support. Arabic is currently undocumented.
Request UAE warranty wording for the triple-chamber suspension, rear steering and battery before ordering.
The 1,400 km combined figure is CLTC. Speed, heat and payload will reduce it on Gulf roads.
Checklist to prep your EV for 50°C summers. Each item extends battery life and improves your daily drive.
Announced with multiple LiDAR sensors for China; UAE activation, maps and functions need dealer confirmation.
Announced within the Huawei suite, but availability outside China is unconfirmed.
No published Euro NCAP or independent Gulf result for Taishan was found by the review date.
Request battery health, isolation and charging-history reports for any import.
How do I X — quick tasks every owner should know.
Hidden features, easter eggs, and tricks you won't find in the manual — from real owners.
On the showroom car, record the Language screen and software build, then test one climate command in Arabic, English and Mandarin. A display language is not enough; capture the assistant's actual response.
When the car arrives, log start and end SOC, elapsed time, ambient temperature and charger power. The 20→80% in 12 minutes claim matters more than the theoretical 325 kW figure, and depends on battery conditioning and charger capability.
