The Voyah Zhiyin debuted on August 5. Four versions of the car are available, but prices have yet to be revealed. It is the first Voyah model to be designed as a world car and underlines the brand’s desire to enter more markets overseas.
Only available as an EV, the Voyah Zhiyin is based on Dongfeng’s Electric Smart Secure Architecture (ESSA) and will be equipped with a new generation of the “Lanhai Power-BEV”. It is the fourth model of the Voyah brand and continues with the family-style design. Notably, there are through-type lights both front and rear. At the front, these integrate with the Voyah logo.
Strangely, the rear wheels have black outlining around them, whereas the front wheels do not. There is also a noticeable shark fin-like element cutting into the D-pillar. The Zhiyin has a blackened roof above the window line and also has a roof rack. At the rear is quite a large skid plate, but equally, the tailgate appears to be quite high.
The Voyah Zhiyin measures in at 4725, 1900, and 1636 mm and its wheelbase is 2900 mm. Curb weights for the versions are 2099, 2145, and 2227 kg.
At first glance inside it may appear that there is only a large dashboard-mounted entertainment screen for information. However, there remains a small instrument panel embedded around the air vents and there is a head-up display. The Zhiyin has frameless doors and features large amounts of leather. It is believed that the car comes equipped with Huawei’s smart cockpit and smart driving system.
Both single and dual-motor versions of the car are available. Rear wheel drive versions have a choice of 215 or 230 kW electric motors. Equipped with a 77 kWh battery, the single motor version has a range of 625 km and, in the long-range version, 901 km, thanks to a 109 kWh battery pack. With the dual-motor version, it uses a 160 kW electric motor on both the front and rear axles. It is equipped with the 77 kWh battery pack, giving a range of 570 km – all ranges are using CLTC. The Voyah Zhiyin uses an 800V architecture platform and comes with 5C charging capability. This means the car can, in 15 minutes, add 515 km of range. Presumably, this is for cars with larger battery packs.
The new car is an essential part of the Let’s Voyah strategy, which aims to see the brand on sale in 60 countries across six continents with annual sales of 500,000 by 2030. It is also the brand’s first more conventional-looking SUV. Deliveries should begin before the end of the year in China.
