The Voyah Free (Chinese: 岚图FREE; pinyin: Lántú FREE) is a mid-size SUV produced by Dongfeng under the Voyah brand. Later, it was replaced by a new generation called the Voyah Free+ in 2025.
Introduced to the Chinese market in the third quarter of 2021, it was designed alongside Italdesign Giugiaro. It was showcased first as a concept car during the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. The vehicle is based on Dongfeng's Electric Smart Secure Architecture (ESSA) platform, which offers multiple premium features such as adaptive suspension and driving assistance functions.
Voyah offers a high performance limited edition model called the Voyah Free DNA, which features higher power output and exterior modifications.
Overview
The Voyah Free was initially showcased as the Voyah i-Free Concept during the 2020 Beijing Auto Show in September 2020 by Voyah, a NEV brand under Dongfeng Motor.[1] The production Free was co-designed with Italdesign Giugiaro.[2] On 18 December 2020, Voyah officially launched its first model, the Free. This vehicle is offered in two power configurations: extended range and pure electric. The NEDC comprehensive cruising range stands at 860 kilometres (530 mi) for the extended range model and 500 kilometres (310 mi) for the pure electric variant.[3]
The Voyah Free is constructed on Dongfeng's Electric Smart Secure Architecture (ESSA) platform.[4] Its suspension system combines front double wishbones and rear multi-links, utilising all-aluminum subframes and connecting rods for chassis components. High-end models feature air suspension, automatically lowering during the transition to high-energy driving mode, with collaborative efforts from companies Bosch and Nio Inc.[5][3]
Equipped with L2 advanced automatic driving assistance functions, the Voyah Free incorporates three millimeter wave radars as sensing hardware. Additionally, the vehicle features 9 cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars to facilitate driving assistance functions, including full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic braking, 360° panoramic imaging, and blind-spot monitoring. Additionally, an active night vision system, effective within 150 metres (490 ft) in front, identifies pedestrians and animals.[3] Series production began in late January 2021.[6]
