On June 24, at the Wuhan Intelligent Connected Testing Facility, Voyah officially unveiled the pre-sale of its latest model, the Voyah FREE+, through a unique live-streamed event. This innovative launch combined professional testing with in-depth demonstrations, showcasing the car's appeal to potential buyers. As a flagship model developed meticulously over four years, the Voyah FREE+ integrates Huawei's QianKun Intelligent Driving ADS 4 and HarmonySpace 5 cockpit systems while building on Voyah's legacy of high-performance driving DNA. This marks its transformation from a sport-focused SUV to a highly intelligent and luxurious five-seat SUV.
Voyah CEO Lu Fang emphasized, "We won't compromise on features or push optional packages. Our goal is to democratize advanced intelligence, driving dynamics, and comfort for all buyers."
The Voyah FREE+ is priced from $32,035. Additionally, pre-sale buyers can enjoy attractive incentives. A deposit of $278 can be converted into $696 toward the purchase price. Other perks include free upgrades, such as soft-close doors for all four doors, headrest speakers for both front seats, and four-piston sport brake calipers.
The key highlight of the Voyah FREE+ lies in the seamless integration of Huawei's advanced intelligent technology with Voyah's exceptional mechanical engineering. The car is equipped with Huawei's QianKun Intelligent Driving ADS 4 system featuring the new WEWA architecture. Using the "World Event Engine (WE)" and "World Action Model (WA)," the system creates human-like decision-making capabilities. Compared to ADS 3.0, decision-making latency is reduced by 50%, and traffic efficiency is improved by 20%. Importantly, this system is not a simple transplant. It has been deeply coordinated with Voyah's in-house technologies, including the all-aluminum chassis, front double-wishbone and rear H-arm multi-link suspension, and an upgraded EDC variable damping system. This integration ensures a safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable driving experience.
During live testing, the Voyah FREE+ performed impressively across various scenarios. Its automatic emergency braking (AEB) in high-speed tunnels and precise steering during emergency avoidance maneuvers highlighted the perfect harmony between its intelligent driving systems and vehicle execution. This positions the Voyah FREE+ as a benchmark in engineering reliability and safety, offering users peace of mind in all driving conditions.
Voyah has always excelled in driving dynamics, and the FREE+ takes it a step further. With a user-centric approach and an "evolutionary philosophy," the car retains its class-leading aluminum chassis while upgrading to the industry-exclusive in-valve EDC damping system. Capable of 100 adjustments per second, this system achieves a perfect balance between handling precision and ride comfort across various road conditions.
In a 1-kilometer slalom test, the vehicle maintained rear-seat stability even during aggressive maneuvers, successfully passing the "Tofu Challenge" and proving its dynamic comfort. During ramp tests, the car landed with minimal oscillation, showcasing its suspension system's ability to absorb and control impacts. Coupled with a dynamic electric all-wheel-drive system that adjusts torque distribution in real-time, the FREE+ delivers exceptional performance, from hardware to real-world driving dynamics.
Under the hood, the Voyah FREE+ is powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivering a combined output of 350 kW. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The new 135 kW front motor boasts a power density of 7.25 kW/kg, making it the most powerful in its class. Paired with the exclusive "Lanqing Mode," the FREE+ offers an exhilarating driving experience. It is also the world's first hybrid SUV with a fully simulated gear-shifting system, redefining the driving value of mid-size luxury SUVs in the $41,800 price range.
The launch of the Voyah FREE+ builds on the solid foundation and rich heritage established by the Voyah brand since its inception. The first-generation Voyah FREE set new benchmarks for luxury in the marketplace. With comprehensive upgrades, the FREE+ addresses user needs and market trends, offering a compelling new option in the highly competitive new-energy vehicle (NEV) segment.
To achieve this transformation, Voyah has invested over $696 million in R&D, enhancing 1,366 functions, achieving 82 industry-leading features, and adding 136 safety enhancements. This has elevated the product from a sport-focused SUV to a highly intelligent and luxurious five-seat SUV.
The Voyah FREE+ launch aligns with the brand's growing market momentum. Recent data shows that during the third week of June (June 16–22), Voyah's flagship MPV, the Voyah Dreamer, topped China's MPV sales charts with 2,720 units sold in a single week.
The Voyah FREE+ represents the culmination of four years of dedicated development. It is not just a product upgrade but an in-depth redefinition of the value proposition for mid-size luxury SUVs in the $41,800 price range. By offering advanced intelligence, luxurious handling, and comprehensive comfort as standard, the Voyah FREE+ elevates the driving experience while reinforcing a commitment to user-centric design in today's competitive automotive market.
