The Voyah Free Is Way Better Than We Expected

[@everyelectriccars]

Cars from China are FAR better than what we get here in North America

[@Fauzanarief-n7i]

Because electric car market in china are far more competitive than North America, in china there are hundred of electric brand competing with each other. Meanwhile in North America there is only Tesla and couple legacy automaker that made EV

[@everyelectriccars]

@@Fauzanarief-n7i That’s because automakers are scared to venture into that market. Tesla and The Korean siblings are the only ones making it happen here. GM and Ford aren’t even yet players until they’ve even reached the threshold in sales. Look, if BYD or their sister company makes the move to come to North America, it’s over for EVERYONE besides Tesla and Korean siblings. I’d even cancel my Fisker Ocean order even though it’s just a couple months away from delivery. That’s how serious it is with BYD

[@TalismanPHX]

Good job Ethan, the Free is quite attractive but the electric range is very subpar.

[@theolich4384]

Before even watching the video - hats off to the team working in Shanghai's scorching heat. Xinkule, Ethan!

[@senseihEnRY16]

damn, never knew Dong Feng have a team that could make a handsome premium ev like this. Would love to see the designer team of Voyah to also work on Dong Feng's non premium vehicles.

[@Zerro3707]

They can make really good cars, but they have no idea on advertising...

[@derbigpr500]

People say "it looks like this", "it looks like that", etc. The point it, every car you compare it to and say some element of it looks like it comes from that car, overall this looks better. It's incredibly well designed and tasteful.

[@etienne6641]

Hey there! I'm a buyer of this car. Just wanted to let you know that all of the alarms can be individually turned off, including lane crossing, seat belt, and all driver monitoring beeping

[@peeep6347]

What are the disadvantages? Do you recommend it?

[@Benalecjohn]

@@peeep6347 the range is not the best, it uses a lot of kWh, but for city traffic it's ideal, amazing drive feel

[@Brick-Life]

Great to see Dongfeng improve passenger cars

[@unclezeppy]

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."

[@sbomorse]

They have some superb EV's in China. In the UK we're left with hugely expensive premium brand EV's or still expensive "cheap" EV'S.

[@jaffarbaqi]

Love this car. And, color is important, more than people admit. Hope they bring it to KSA eventually.

[@vasukitransport7644]

[@Alberto-xw8vx]

I do not agree, that the retractable screen is a gimmick. I would love and appreciate a "minimal screen mode" when I need to focus more on the road and to get less distracted. I think this should be copied and the screen hidden even more in the "minimal mode".

[@jwickerszh]

Yeah, I was skeptical at first but then most of the driving we do we do not really huge bright screens staring at us. It is nice to have big screens when you need the entertainment or nav for long trips or while resting at a charge, but having the option to dial it down is interesting.

[@Scarbir]

Makes sense!

[@noeltimario2675]

Great review as always. Hope you can feature / review Tank 300 hybrid or the regular one. Thanks.

I don't think you need to make a Chinese version for bilibili. You can just speak English with Chinese subtitles.For example, Amy艾米饭（KZbin channel Blondie in China has 270,000 followers） has 370,000 fans on Bilibili, 我是阳离子（The KZbin channel Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记 has 83,000 followers） has 240,000 fans on Bilibili, and 570,000 fans on Douyin.Jason在中国 has 1880000 fans on Douyin，and has 564000 fans on Bilibili（The name of the channel ：Mr有意思），and has 250,000 followers on his KZbin channel（KZbin Channel Name：Living in China）All of them only speak English. 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.

Welcome to Beijing Ethan!

[@paulpisters668]

Although it’s design is eclectic but I love it.

[@paulsunday7688]

It has a similar form to Mazda from the side

[@VSL_babyface]

i tried this and the nio es6, every Chinese auto reviewer suggested Voyah Free over Nio Es6, I disagreed... The Free only beeps whereas the ES6 vibrates the steering like Lexus. 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 🤣

[@Zrqdon]

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...

[@VSL_babyface]

@@Zrqdon oh, i was only looking at the Q4 etron 40, the 50 isnt worth it as I mentioned i dont need a super fast suv and we dont get snow here in GuangZhou China here, so I also dont need AWD lol (47k usd for 40) and yes, I think all the traditional automakers have similar problem with their old infotainment systems that they never update, I m more interested in how it drives... I mean I dont hate the Free but it just not as good as I was told... I still lean towards Nio ES6 between the 2 especially when I have someone who constantly have motion sickness, the "queen passenger seat" will help alot 🤣🤣🤣 and rear seats dont mean anything to me, i got no one to carry around with as well, anyways, i m still interested in trying it out, until then i wouldnt know and i guess everyone have diff preferences. Most ppl say Li One looks great from inside out, I also did not agree 🤣😂

[@Zrqdon]

@@VSL_babyface Yeah I agree, i think 40 would be good for you. I have 50 because its AWD and since it is a plus to have it here in Norway due to snow and mountanious landscape. I will say that Q4 has a really good range, but would not say it is a premium car! The WLTP for my Q4 is 474 km, but it drives above 500 km now in summer (around 400 km in winter). 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. But good luck finding a car you like! It is not easy.

[@VSL_babyface]

@@Zrqdonthanks for letting me know about the Q4 man, for Voyah Free, its hard to say about the range, most people go real crazy coz of the power it delivers you know. Most people wont use the "eco" mode with the strongest braking regen, so i assumed Voyah Free might able to hit 500km if you use drive it normally and not flooring pedal at every stop light lol i say this because i read user reviews, it seemed whenever they have any EVs here, they tend to say... "i m the fastest car when the light turns green", that kinda tell u that person's range will be shorter than a normal driver lol 🤣🤣 oh and i also askes the salesperson about the Auto Emergency Brake... funny enough he said it will bleep the driver and he doesnt even know if it stops the car for you ... for Nio, the salesperson said if u put any input on the brake pedal, it will not engage brakes for you whether you did applied enough brake power to stop the car or not 🤣🤣🤣 so, be aware that their AEB isnt very smart yet 🤣 Thanks for your advance again for Q4, because each of them have pros and cons, I want to take my time to.think about it first 😂 good luck with the Voyah Free my frd 👍👏

[@Zrqdon]

@@VSL_babyface yeah Q4 is amazing in driving that is for sure! And the steering wheel is one of the best i have seen. I have a child and family, therefore i need a bigger car. That is the main reason I want to change my Q4, the baby seat takes all the space in the trunk... Yeah let's see how Voyah Free is. It is hard to find out after a short testdrive. Right now I am very sceptic but want to give it a chance. Thanks for your reply friend 🙌👍

hello and welcome. the hybrid plugin and this got a stunning 693 hp (510 kw) of power. What is like the 0-60 mph? 4.7 seconds seems way too slow for a vehicle so powerful. The rivian R1S for comparision, got 835 hp and weigh a lot more, but can do a 0-60 mph in 3 flat (and aerodynamic is also worse)

[@jzvr5842]

There is literally zero difference to the average buyer whether it's 3 or 4.7, both are more than fast enough, how a car drives is way more important than just acceleration.
