The most visible change in the Voyah Dreamer modification scene over the past 10 years is the iteration of floor materials—from burlap to aviation aluminium—reflecting the changing needs of MPV users. I've reviewed installation records from more than a dozen modification shops and will walk you through the 10-year evolution of the Voyah Dreamer aftermarket scene.
▲ Voyah Dreamer modification culture evolution: real shots of 10-year floor iteration results
2015–2017: The Burlap Era
Around 2015, the mainstream floor material for Voyah Dreamer modifications was burlap. There were historical reasons for this:
- In 2015, MPV modification was just emerging, and owners were unfamiliar with "floor modification"; burlap was cheap and easy to install
- Burlap floor cost was 500–1500 yuan, affordable for nearly every owner
- Installation took only 1–2 hours—ready while you wait
But burlap's problems were also obvious:
- Poor wear resistance (500–1000 rotations), visible wear after 3–6 months
- Hygroscopic (natural fiber), a mould disaster zone during the plum rain season
- Easily deformed (no internal frame), dents appeared after 1–2 week of luggage pressing
- Hard to clean (fiber structure traps dirt), requires professional tools
I saw a Voyah Dreamer owner who had burlap flooring installed in 2016; in 2017, during the plum rain season, the floor got seriously mouldy and had to be completely removed and reinstalled.
2018–2019: The Solid Wood Transition
From 2018 to 2019, some Voyah Dreamer owners began trying solid wood floors (Burmese teak, South American teak). Solid wood's advantages:
- Better aesthetics (natural wood grain, strong premium feel)
- Medium wear resistance (2000–4000 rotations)
- Mid-range price (2000–5000 yuan)
But solid wood's drawbacks quickly surfaced:
- Warps from moisture (disaster zone during plum rain season / humid spring days)
- Requires waxing maintenance (high upkeep for owners)
- Inconsistent craftsmanship (variable wood quality from different origins)
Solid wood flooring was quickly phased out in the south, though some northern owners kept it. I saw a Voyah Dreamer owner who installed solid wood flooring in 2018; in 2019, during the plum rain season, the floor warped 2–3mm mm and had to be torn out and reinstalled.
2020–2022: The Aviation Aluminium + UV Printing Era
After 2020, aviation aluminium flooring began to spread. But early aviation aluminium floors used a UV printing process:
- Aviation aluminium substrate + UV coating
- Price 2000–4000 yuan (early pricing)
- Installation time 1–2 day
- Wear resistance 1200–4000 rotations
Problems with UV-printed aviation aluminium:
- UV coating softens at high temperatures (summer sun exposure issue)
- UV coating becomes brittle and cracks at low temperatures (northern winter issue)
- UV coating discolours with long-term use (white turns yellow, dark colours fade)
2021–2022 was the "bonus period" for UV-printed aviation aluminium—low price, fast installation, decent looks. But by 2023, with many owners reporting UV coating issues, the industry began to reconsider.
2023–2025: The HPL High-Temperature Press Era
From 2023 onward, aviation aluminium flooring using the HPL high-temperature press process became mainstream:
- HPL layer wear resistance: 8000–15000 rotations
- Price 5000–8000 yuan
- Installation time 2–3 days
- Lower long-term cost of ownership
The advantages of the HPL process were quickly recognised by the market:
- No discolouration (colours are settled before pressing with pre-produced stock)
- No delamination (resin fully cured, monolithic structure)
- High-temperature resistant (curing temperature 130°C far exceeds use temperature)
- Matching accessories (stable colour means footrests and pedals match)
Since 2024, HPL-process aviation aluminium has been the mainstream choice for Voyah Dreamer modifications, capturing over 70% of market share.
2026+: Pure Aluminium Yunluo + Lightweight Fabric Texture
From 2026, automotive floor modification has entered a new phase:
New Direction 1: Pure Aluminium Yunluo (top-tier luxury). 500-wire 5052 aviation aluminium + crystal footrest, priced at 12,000+, ideal for business reception scenarios.
New Direction 2: Lightweight Fabric Texture. SPC stone-plastic powder + synchronised grain embossing, density 0.8 g/cm³, priced at 6000–8000 yuan, suited for new-energy vehicle owners.
New Direction 3: Antibacterial Materials. Silver-ion technology, 99.9% antibacterial rate, ideal for families with children and health-conscious users.
New Direction 4: Eco-Friendly Materials. 0 formaldehyde + mother-and-baby-grade eco certification, ideal for premium family MPVs.
3 Changes in Voyah Dreamer Modification Culture
Change 1: From "Whether to Install" to "What to Install". In 2015, owners cared about "should we install a floor?"; in 2025, owners ask "HPL or fabric texture?". Floor modification has become standard equipment for MPVs.
Change 2: From "Price-First" to "Performance-First". In 2015, owners chose the cheapest burlap; in 2025, owners choose the best-performing HPL. Consumer mindset has upgraded.
Change 3: From "Fast Installation" to "Refined Craftsmanship". In 2015, owners wanted ready-while-you-wait service (burlap in 1–2 hours); in 2025, owners are willing to wait 2–3 days (HPL process timeline). Demand for craftsmanship precision has risen.
Voyah Dreamer Modification Community Circles
Voyah Dreamer owners fall into three typical community circles:
- Business Reception Circle: Choose pure aluminium Yunluo or HPL-process aviation aluminium, valuing aesthetics and ambient-light integration
- Family User Circle: Choose fabric texture or HPL aviation aluminium, prioritising eco-friendliness and durability
- Modification Enthusiast Circle: Research HPL vs UV differences, aluminium alloy grades, PE-layer materials, and are willing to pay for technology
FAQ: The 5 Questions Voyah Dreamer Owners Ask Most
Q1: Should I modify the factory floor on my Voyah Dreamer? A: The factory PVC floor is fine short-term; long-term, we recommend upgrading to HPL-process aviation aluminium.
Q2: What process should I choose for floor modification? A: HPL high-temperature press process. Market-validated since 10, with stable performance.
Q3: Is pure aluminium Yunluo worth 12,000+? A: Worth it for business reception vehicles; not recommended for family use. Added weight and high price are the main barriers.
Q4: How long until I can pick up the car after modification? A: HPL / fabric texture: 2–3 days; pure aluminium Yunluo: 4–5 days.
Q5: How much does it cost to modify the floor on a Voyah Dreamer? A: HPL aviation aluminium 5000–8000 yuan; fabric texture 6000–8000 yuan; pure aluminium Yunluo 12,000+.
Industry Data: MPV Floor Process Iteration
Based on public data from the 2025 China Automotive Aftermarket Association Modification Branch:
- In 2015, burlap accounted for 80% of MPV floor modifications
- In 2020, aviation aluminium + UV printing accounted for 70%
- In 2025, HPL-process aviation aluminium accounted for 70%+
- In 2026, pure aluminium Yunluo + fabric texture is forecast at 25% (emerging direction)
Modification Recommendations Summary
Looking at 10 years of evolution, the HPL process is the current optimal choice for Voyah Dreamer floor modifications; going forward, pure aluminium Yunluo + fabric texture + antibacterial are emerging directions. Owners should choose based on budget and use case—HPL aviation aluminium is the most cost-effective mid-range option.
