Overview
About the Dongfeng Voyah Free
The Voyah Free is the halo of Dongfeng's stand at Montreal's Grand Quai — the premium end of the group, from its Voyah luxury marque, shown to signal how far upmarket a state-owned Chinese automaker can now reach. This battery-electric version (the one homologated and sold in Europe, notably Norway) pairs a 106 kWh battery with a 500 km WLTP range and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup producing 360 kW (490 hp) and 720 Nm — enough for a 4.4-second 0-100 km/h in a 2.4-tonne SUV. The cabin is where it makes its case: a sweeping triple-screen dashboard, quilted leather, a dimmable panoramic roof, Dynaudio audio, air suspension and a 72-litre front trunk. DC charging is the soft spot at roughly 100 kW, slower than the Korean and German rivals it eyes. Two honest caveats: unlike the Box and Vigo, the Free was shown but is not among the two models Dongfeng has confirmed for near-term Canadian import, and at a premium price it would exceed Quebec's $65,000 rebate cap — meaning no provincial incentive. Dongfeng has not published a Canadian price.
Editorial take
Our Verdict
Strengths
- A genuinely premium cabin — triple screens, Dynaudio, air suspension, 72 L frunk
- 360 kW and 0-100 km/h in 4.4 s from a proven, Europe-homologated EV
- 500 km WLTP range — real long-distance capability
Watch Out For
- Shown in Montreal but NOT among the two models confirmed for Canadian import
- ~100 kW DC charging is slow for the segment; premium price means no Quebec rebate

What this means for Canada
This is the battery-electric Voyah Free homologated in Europe — do not confuse it with the newer range-extender (EREV) version, whose "total range" figures include a petrol generator. Specs come from Voyah's global site and EV Database; Dongfeng has not published a Canadian price or confirmed the Free among its two near-term imports. At a premium price it would clear Quebec's $65,000 rebate cap, so expect no provincial incentive.

Equipment compared
Price and range only tell half the story. Here is the equipment, line by line, against the rival you would actually cross-shop.

The two columns do not rest on the same footing. The rival is described from its Canadian specification; the Chinese vehicle from the market where it is actually sold today. Any future Canadian version could differ.
Kia EV9 — Two trim traps worth knowing. The heat pump and heated steering wheel above are standard from the Wind trim up — the entry Light RWD has neither, which matters a lot in this climate. And "GT-Line" is not a trim: it is a $79,495 package on the Land AWD, which is where the head-up display comes from. Kia publishes no peak DC figure in kW, only that 10 to 80% takes as little as 20 minutes, and does not say whether a CCS adapter comes with the NACS port.
"Not published" means the manufacturer does not document this — not that the vehicle lacks it.
