I test drove this car in Shenzhen, to my surprise it drove like a Peugeot 3008 which is also made by Dongfeng. Later there was a Voyah owner at my charging station and I asked about the range, he said:"It's OK, it tends to lure you to drive faster so you never get good range out of it. I have never gone over 380km."

I gather that the range extender version of the Voyah Free is where the model really shines, having likely been originally designed in that configuration. Also the Voyah Dreamer MPV is already hitting the road - saw one the other day myself in a parking lot and the fare collector dude was gasping at the luxurious aura it oozes. The Maserati-esque front grille is really at home there. That, with the Zeekr 009 MPV (where's the review of the much anticipated 001 btw, I'm sure you're not gonna miss that one?) - Chinese car reviewers are running into a busy schedule ahead!

In the past, Catherine（我是阳离子） also made two versions in Chinese and English, but later she only made the English version and put the English version with Chinese subtitles on China's domestic platform, which proved to be very effective.This saves you energy and allows you to express your understanding and analysis more fully in your native language. Everyone can understand the subtitles without affecting the communication at all.

I personally like Nio's dash screen better, for some reason the angle seemed awkward on the Free and Nio also have HUD. Nio also have the "Queen" from pax seat and the battery swap. However, the air suspension on ES6 is a real concern, I made an U-turn, it wobbles like a boat 🤣 Anyways, I like Nio ES6 over Voyah Free, but at this point, I m actually interested in checking out Audi Q4 Etron as it is even cheaper than both and it is an Audi... also I personally do not need a 4 second 100km EV 🤣

I have an audi q4 e tron. And to be honest i am disappointed. Firstly you have to pay extra for a lot of things. Starting price is around 50k usd but if you wanna full spec it, then you will easily end up on 70k+. Every small thing costs extra yet it doesn't feel like a premium car. I tried Voyah Free here in Oslo and liked it much better than my Q4. Also the app for Q4 is not finished as well as infotainment update. They have been promising for 2 years and still thaven't been able to deliver. Very disappointed to be honest. I expected more from Audi...

The only thing I am suspicious of on Voyah Free is if the range of really is 550 km or not... I have heard chinese EV don´t have accurate range, specially here in Norway where roads and climates are way different than China. Here in Oslo, the Voyah Free car dealer said they put 500 km WLTP for Voyah free just to be on the safe side, however, in China they claim it is 535-550 km WLTP... and over 600 km if you drive it in cities. I guess I will find out. I have ordered one Voyah Free since it is free to cancel it, even 14 days after i get it. If I am not happy with the range by then, I might give it back.
