It is an insane decrease, compared to the previous version with the same powertrain that’s price was at least 333,600 yuan (USD45,820). All this cash gets one a new look as the facelift has a more aggressive bumper with large air intakes and front spoiler.
The headlights of the new Voyah Free are now connected with an LED unit that goes all the way through the grille, which is also redesigned. It has become smaller and lost all the chrome plating. The new Voyah Free has also got all-black five-spoke rims which gives the front end a much more aggressive look.
From the rear, the Voyah Free is also redesigned with a sportier roof spoiler and bumper while the taillights remain the same. From the side, the car also looks largely the same. It is also worth noting that the EV is a quite big SUV measuring, 4,905mm in length, 1,950mm in width and 1,645mm in height with a 2,960mm wheelbase.
On top of that, the interior also sports a redesigned center tunnel and a cleaner look with two wireless charging pads, a pair of cup holders, and a small row of physical buttons.

The new Voyah Free is available with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine making 150hp and does not transfer torque to the wheels. Instead, it acts like a generator, charging a battery or transferring energy directly to electric motors, the first of which is in the rear axle and makes 272hp and 410Nm of torque.
