A video circulating on Chinese social media shows a Voyah Taishan SUV moving diagonally along a highway. The footage captures the vehicle traveling at speed while its body remains angled relative to the direction of movement, suggesting a potential rear-axle thrust-angle offset.
The Voyah Taishan features a bidirectional rear-wheel steering system capable of a maximum angle of 16 degrees. This system is designed to reduce the turning radius to 5.4 meters. However, the available footage lacks verified data regarding wheel position, driver inputs, or vehicle speed, making it impossible to confirm the cause of the movement.
While the manufacturer lists specific dimensions for the Taishan, including a 5,230 mm length and 3,120 mm wheelbase, the video does not confirm the exact model or configuration. Sustained diagonal tracking can lead to increased tire scrub and heat, though no damage has been verified in this instance.
In a separate incident reported in September, a Voyah Taishan X8 owner in Wuhan experienced a rear-wheel-steering failure warning shortly after delivery. The dealership initially suggested replacing the rear-steering assembly before reaching a settlement with the owner. This case remains distinct from the highway incident.
