The Voyah Soulmate Has A 901km Range!

[@wwbren]

I really like their dedication to their logo. Curved screen makes it so much more elegant to look at, makes more sense here than on mobile phones.

[@DIVEnSOME]

That’s a perfectly designed car.everything is just enough,not too much useless tech and everything responds ,not to mention no range anxiety.

[@janwong3705]

Insane when you consider that Dongfeng, Voyah's parent brand, were just making tough but spartan trucks a little more than 2 decades ago. What a time to be alive.

Nuts acceleration not necessary, 300 to 350 miles minimum on a f ull charge very important . Tons of sensors and gizmos not necessary but real comfy well postured seats with reclining rear seat adjustment with a nice big screen and hud essential, listen up car makers. Oh yeh , genuine sport suspension that can transform to decent floating comfort suspension and nicely cosseted from external sounds like road and tyre noise , you will have then cracked it.

[@igormac88]

Ok, the usability of that sliding screen is debatable, but that rear seat is enormous for the category. 900 km on the chinese cycle translates to 600s maybe on the WLTP cycle, which still is quite a lot

[@richardgledhill]

Thanks guys. I haven't been impressed by Voyah until now, but I think if you put a Nissan Qashqai badge on it (one of the biggest-selling small family SUVs in the UK), it would fly off the shelves. Some really nice styling details in there too, quite a handsome thing for an SUV. By the way, the most recent car to have air channels through the bonnet like that is the Polestar 3... Looking forward to your test drive - do you know if they have any plans to bring cars to Europe or the UK yet?

[@Wheelsboy]

There's a few cars that I missed when it came to the front vents, including the Vinfast VF9 (easy to forget), and the Polestar 3 that you mentioned. Looking forward to the test drive of the Soulmate as well, because Voyah has been surprised me before with some nice vehicles. While I'm at it, I also look forward to driving the Polestar, which I think looks amazing.

I-Pace is a stunner, but it was just too early to the game and never received the updates to range and charging that it really needed. There was also the small issue of it being incredibly expensive compared to newer EVs.

[@Kimbrough87]

@@Wheelsboy OK yeah definitely wish the charging speed was much faster and the range was much better. The best I’ve been able to get going with the smaller wheel size is about 270 miles.

The range numbers are the usual CLTC bullshit. I wish they would stop with these inflated numbers. Real highway range probably about 500-600km, looking at the size of the car and its front.

[@TsLeng]

Yes but it's 109 kWh. Give it 6km/kWh and yes it's easy 600km range. A real minimum 400km range highway speed car. And I bet the price will be super competitive. 800v charging too. Crazy stuff.

[@squrler]

Ehhh, the motor specs aren’t even final; let’s wait a bit to see what it can actually do range wise before we start repeating the manufacturers claims as fact shall we

[@cwdjdsd-36321cs]

900km is not surprising these days for Chinese EVs because the nio et7 150kwh battery version has a range of more than 1000km in real world testing.

[@Wheelsboy]

When did I say it was fact? I said it has an official range of 901 km on the CLTC cycle. These test cycles exist in order to give consumers a consistent standard by which to compare different cars, so that's why we repeat them in our videos.

[@pakistandriving]

Take it to one of the highest points in China - about 1000km from the coast, charge it to 100% with a diesel generator you have towed in another car, drive / roll 900km to a low point on the coast - Voilà you have a 900km EV - at least that's how NIO do their range tests.

[@TB-up4xi]

@@kamsunleong6648 I don't know how this saying became popular - it means nothing and conveys nothing - there is nothing "in the pudding" .....the proper saying is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" - it conveys a similar sentiment as "it looks good...on paper" - meaning that the purpose of the pudding is to be eaten, it can be made from the best ingredients by the best chef and presented perfectly but until the pudding is eaten you can't judge how good it is i.e. the "proof" of how good the pudding is can only come from eating it.

If charging are fast enough, with charge stations spread out like petrol stations, range shouldn't be an issue anymore. Let's hope we'll reach there soon.

you are not going to drive non stop 700 km for sure. Its better to take couple of breaks where fast charging is available and you can top it over there.

The Vinfast VF9 also has those front air inlets which go through to the hood. Pretty much the only cool thing about the VF9 really, since the rest of the car is mediocre at best.
