2026 Voyah Free 4WD

• Dual‑motor 4WD with peak output up to 360 kW (490 hp) (all‑electric) or 310+410 kW combined (≈365 kW / 489 hp) for longitudinal range‑extender (EREV) variant.
• Acceleration in the 4.5–4.8 s range, top speed limited to 200 km/h, and CLTC electric range up to 631 km depending on variant.
• Sophisticated features including air suspension, lift‑up triple screen display, night‑vision system, massage seats, and price starting at around USD 43,500 (AED 160,000).

The Look: Clean and Technical

Voyah keeps things neat with the Free. It’s sized right for the midsize SUV segment — long wheelbase, sculpted sides, flush handles. The illuminated grille branding stands out, but it doesn’t shout. At 4,905 mm long and 1,950 mm wide, it has presence without bulk. Ride height is adjustable thanks to air suspension on higher trims. The 20-inch wheels sit flush within squared arches. Rear light bar ties it together without overdoing it.

Two Ways to Move: EV or EREV

The pure electric version runs dual motors, front and rear, together making 510 kW and 1,040 Nm. That’s serious power for a five-seater SUV. It launches from 0 to 100 km/h in under 4.7 seconds. The extended-range version is a bit different — it uses a 1.5L turbo petrol engine as a generator, with electric drive only. You still get AWD and acceleration around 4.5 seconds to 100, but with the added reach of a fuel tank and battery combo.

Both use the same platform: ESSA, developed by Dongfeng for its Voyah brand. Ride quality is supported by adaptive air suspension on select trims. The power goes to all four wheels either way, and performance stays consistent regardless of battery level or terrain mode.

Range That Doesn’t Ask Questions

The EV gets a 106 kWh battery, estimated to deliver up to 631 km on the CLTC cycle. That’s strong range by segment standards. The EREV uses a smaller battery — around 39–43 kWh — but with the fuel generator onboard, total range pushes well over 1,200 km. Top trims like the Free 318 are rated at 1,357 km. It’s a setup designed for those who drive long without charging stops.

Charging is compatible with DC fast charge systems. Full charging times vary depending on power infrastructure, but quick top-ups are supported. Regenerative braking is also included.

Cabin Tech and Materials

Step inside, and it’s all screen. Three panels span the dash — driver, infotainment, passenger. They're powered by a Snapdragon chip and voice-controlled across functions. Rear passengers get their own touch panel for climate and media. It’s a clean layout that doesn’t overwhelm.

Seats are ventilated and massaging up front. There’s ambient lighting, a scent diffuser, and a PM2.5 air quality system with filtration. Dynaudio provides the audio. Materials throughout are certified to Oeko-Tex standards, so finishes are soft-touch, not synthetic.

Safety, Assistance, and Sensors

The Voyah Free 4WD includes everything expected in this class: Level 2 driver assist, multiple radars and cameras, night vision, and a 360-degree parking system. There are 12 ultrasonic sensors working in tandem with adaptive cruise, emergency braking, and blind spot alerts.

The safety cell is designed to meet high test standards, and airbags cover front, side, and curtain zones. It’s a full-featured active and passive safety setup. Ride height can be adjusted automatically to adapt for speed or terrain.

Trim, Price, and Where It Fits

Voyah positions the Free as a luxury EV SUV with a more attainable price point. In the UAE, pricing starts around USD 43,500 for the base EREV, going up to about USD 57,000 for the top-spec 318 model with more range and upgraded equipment.

It’s a direct play against models like the NIO ES6, BYD Tang EV, and even entry trims of the BMW iX3 and Mercedes EQE SUV in overseas markets. In terms of space, features, and drivetrain options, it punches well within that set — but costs less.

Final Word

The 2026 Voyah Free 4WD doesn’t try to reinvent the category. It just brings real specs, real utility, and premium appointments together in one of the most usable EV/EREV packages right now. For those who want luxury EV features with the backup of range or versatility of full electric, it’s an option worth tracking.
