TheVoyah Passion (Chinese:岚图追光;pinyin:Lántú Zhuīguāng) is afull-sizeluxury sedan produced byDongfeng under theVoyah brand.[1]
In December 2022, the Chinese electrified vehicle brandVoyah 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 theFree SUV andDream minivan, distinguished by a slender silhouette with hidden door handles, door ribbing and a gently sloping roofline reminiscent offastback cars.[2]
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.[3] The Passion was based on a modularESSA platform shared with the Free model, which allows, among other things, the flat location of the propulsion system batteries under the passenger cabin in askateboard configuration.[4] 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.[5]
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 rivalNIO. Prices for the luxury limousine start at 322,900 yuan.[5]
In December 2023, Voyah introduced the plug-in hybrid version of the Passion with changes to the front and a lower purchase price.[6][7][8]
The Passion was initially available exclusively with a pure electric powertrain, with a plug-in hybrid version added later.
The pure electric model uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system consisting of a front motor outputting 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) and 310 N⋅m (229 lb⋅ft) of torque and a rear motor outputting 215 kW (288 hp; 292 PS) and 420 N⋅m (310 lb⋅ft) of torque, for a total of 375 kW (503 hp; 510 PS) and 730 N⋅m (538 lb⋅ft) of torque. This allows it to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). Buyers can choose between two battery packs: a 82.1 kWhNMC pack with asemi-solid-state electrolyte with a 170 Wh/kgenergy density supplied byFarasis providing 580 km (360 mi) of range (CLTC), or aCATL-supplied 108.7 kWh NMC pack for 730 km (454 mi) on a single charge.[9]
The plug-in hybrid system also uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system along with a 1.5-litre (1,467 cc; 89.5 cu in) turbocharged inline-four petrol engine outputting 100 kW (134 hp; 136 PS). It consists of a 130 kW (174 hp; 177 PS) front motor and a 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) rear motor, for a total of 390 kW (523 hp; 530 PS) with the engine. It has a 0– time of 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). It comes with a 43 kWh NMC battery pack supplied bySVOLT providing 202 km (126 mi) of electric-only range (WLTP), with a combined range of 1,260 km (783 mi) (CLTC).[6][7][8]
