In the forums related to the Voyah car, I saw a post by a car owner sharing about OTA 2.0 upgrade, and I began to worry about the pure electric endurance after the upgrade. As someone who has driven oil cars for more than 20 years and has a strong attachment to Voyah, even my S350 at home is covered in dust! If we must find a weakness of the extended range version of Voyah, it would be the slightly lower pure electric mileage. However, perfect cars and perfect people do not exist! Voyah has all the most important vehicle elements (safety, handling, comfort, acceleration, interior environmental friendliness, high-end interior quality, and of course, the breathtaking appearance). To my surprise, after this OTA upgrade, I feel like there is a slight increase in the battery range. Yesterday when I received the upgrade notification, I paid attention to the power consumption. After the upgrade was completed this morning (with the same battery percentage of 83%, distance, speed, passengers, and duration as yesterday), the remaining battery percentage was 55% (yesterday it was 54%) and the driving distance was 38 kilometers. Voyah car owners have shared their satisfaction with the various improvements brought by the upgrade in detail, so I will not repeat them here. Today, my wife who often sits in the front passenger seat said that she felt less of the strong back-pushing sense during my acceleration in the economy mode after the upgrade. In the past, she used to feel a bit dizzy during acceleration, but in fact, the acceleration and handling performance of Voyah has always given me the feeling of "first among equals" as a car enthusiast! However, this has always been a problem area for my wife, who values safety the most as the queen of our family, and the main reason is that, driving Voyah is like riding an explosive stallion, and if you don't give it its head to gallop it will lose its true nature! So it is a bit too powerful to drive. Perhaps considering the safety aspect, the update has adjusted the acceleration, which is less fierce than before, but smoother. Novice drivers may feel more confident driving it! Indeed, the emphasis on safety in all aspects of Voyah is the most important reason why we chose it at first!!! What is the most important thing for a vehicle like a car? Is it performance, space, appearance or configuration? None of these, actually. I think for a car, safety is always the most important. Voyah is a car that places great importance on safety, and it has earned a "five-star" rating in C-NCAP safety tests and the highest overall score among Chinese brand new energy vehicle models. Obviously, the safety of Voyah is "real" and its "realness" is first manifested in the safety of its body. According to the information available, Voyah FR...
EE adopts the cage-type body skeleton cockpit, which is one of the best body structures for protecting passengers, as it not only better absorbs impact force during collisions, but also ensures complete survival space for them. Moreover, the cage-type body skeleton of Voyah FREE is extremely strong with high-strength steel and hot-formed steel accounting for up to 75% and 31% respectively, and features Voyah’s pioneering TRB+Patch composite structure for hot-formed A-pillars (greatly enhancing frontal collision resistance) and B-pillar door anti-collision beams with a high strength of 2000MPa (which can safeguard the survival space of passengers as much as possible in the event of a serious side collision). Therefore, Voyah FREE, as a new energy SUV, truly has “steel bones” and its passive safety performance has reached a leading level. Of course, for a new energy vehicle, battery safety is the real safety concern, and Voyah FREE has also made great efforts in this regard. It is equipped with Voyah’s self-developed mica battery system or amber battery system, which can achieve a non-explosive, non-smoke and non-fire performance in case of serious collisions. As for the safety of the battery after immersion, Voyah has also conducted a full range of safety tests with test results exceeding standards. The active night vision system in Voyah FREE’s intelligent driving technology can achieve a 150m ultra-long “visibility range” through high-precision smart sensors, which can avoid rear-end and collision accidents caused by unclear night light. The system also has an AI recognition and warning function, which can accurately recognize and warn even when driving at night in tunnels or under bridges, so as to assist drivers in avoiding safety accidents caused by inattention during driving at night. It can make users’ travel more secure and provide constant protection for their travel safety. The safety performance of the new member of Voyah family, the Dreamer, has also made new breakthroughs. On October 8th, the “Voyah Dreamer defines luxury with ultimate safety-challenge in active and passive safety” was completed in Changsha. In this challenge, the Voyah Dreamer successfully completed the first 90km/h ultra-US standard high-speed rear-end test and the complex scene smart AEB+ESA test in China, both of which were successfully challenged. According to public data, among the accident forms in which passenger injuries and fatalities occurred in China, rear-end accidents account for about 11%, which cannot be ignored, as it hides the safety hazards of passengers, especially those in the rear seats. However, at present, in the world, variousThe specifications for testing the rear collision of a vehicle are rare in China. The LanTu Dreamer successfully challenged the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS301, exceeding the bullet car kinetic energy by 1.88 times. FMVSS301 requires a rear-end collision speed of 80 km/h and a mass of 1368 kg for the bullet car. The LanTu Dreamer’s rear-end collision speed exceeded 100 km/h, reaching 125% of the U.S. standard. The collision mass of the bullet car was 1650 kg, which is 121% of the U.S. standard, meaning that the collision kinetic energy of the bullet car is nearly 1.88 times that of the U.S. standard. I chose the LanTu Dreamer for its responsible craftsmanship and the solid commitment of a state-owned enterprise to safety performance. As an experienced driver with a license from the 90s, I feel confident and comfortable driving the LanTu Dreamer, knowing that it’s safe and reliable.
