Since I picked up my car on November 4th, 22 and it has been over 4 months now, during which time it has traveled nearly 4000 kilometers. Let me briefly talk about my feelings about the car. First of all, about the appearance which is a subjective matter. The aesthetic taste varies from person to person. When it comes to the exterior of this car, I really like its overall design and style. The shape of the taillights looks like ears of wheat, which gives me a sense of abundance. Some people say that the front of the car reminds them of a certain model from a well-known brand, while others think that the car is a bit too short and lacks the muscular feel of an SUV. Everyone has their own preference, and that’s okay.
As for the interior of the car, the design and color matching of the FREE car give me a decent impression. However, to be honest, there is still some gap between the luxury atmosphere it creates and that of the BBA brand. The extensive use of skin-friendly materials conforms to the pursuit of environmental protection, and overall, the interior tone is good. I’m quite satisfied with the 10-level adjustable panoramic sunroof, especially when it’s cold in winter in Shandong, I like to lie in the car and let the warm sunlight shine through the sunroof onto my body. Playing some music through the Dynaudio speakers, the whole feeling is indescribable.
Now let’s talk about the shortcomings. The main one is that the back seat lacks functions such as ventilation and heating, and the configuration is a bit too low. This is a pity. As for the quietness, FREE is relatively quiet at low speed, but the tire noise is relatively loud above 80 km/h, which affects the overall quality of the car. I plan to install sound insulation throughout the car, which will cost some money.
Let’s move on to handling. The powerful engine, air suspension, front double-wishbone suspension, rear multi-link suspension, aluminum alloy chassis, and the accumulated technology of an old-fashioned state-owned enterprise in chassis tuning, make the Voyahzi’s body support stable, with excellent stability and relatively accurate steering, making the driving experience very pleasant. It gives you a feeling of driving a luxury car.
Fourth, let’s talk about intelligence. Due to the chip and software issues in the early stage, the performance of the car’s infotainment system was poor, like a fool. Now it has been upgraded to the 8155 chip + software version 3.0, and the overall performance is better. Of course, compared to Tesla and XPeng, there is still a gap. However, I believe that as long as the hardware is not outdated, the performance of the infotainment system is only a matter of time.
Finally, let me talk about Voyahzi’s after-sales service and community. In terms of after-sales, Voyahzi’s response speed is very fast, and the problem-solving is professional. The community has many activities, and as long as you have time to participate, you can always find something you like. You can post and earn points, and exchange them for camping equipment, etc. in the mall.
