Voyah Passion
The Voyah Passion is a full-size luxury sedan produced by Dongfeng under the Voyah brand.
Overview
In December 2022, the Chinese electrified vehicle brand Voyah introduced its third model, which was also its first sedan in the form of the Passion luxury limousine. The car was maintained in an aesthetic identical to the Free SUV and Dream minivan, distinguished by a slender silhouette with hidden door handles, door ribbing and a gently sloping roofline reminiscent of fastback cars.The front belt was formed by aggressively shaped headlights, which were joined by a light strip integrated with the company logo formed from LEDs. The rear part of the body was adorned with, among other things, an opening spoiler, while 31 sensors, 12 cameras, 5 radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors ensure movement in semi-autonomous driving mode. The Passion was based on a modular ESSA platform shared with the Free model, which allows, among other things, the flat location of the propulsion system batteries under the passenger cabin in a skateboard configuration. The luxuriously arranged interior was dominated by displays, which also formed an angled touchscreen air conditioning panel. In addition, the dashboard was covered by a strip of three 12.3-inch screens serving as the digital instrument display, a central infotainment touchscreen and a passenger entertainment display.
The Passion was released as a pure electric model in April 2023 in mainland China. The car can be purchased both in traditional form and through a so-called battery subscription model along the lines of the rival NIO. Prices for the luxury limousine start at 322,900 yuan.
