Disastrous passion: test drive of the Chinese super sedan Voyah Passion
The electric sedan Voyah Passion has become the third model in the product line of the new premium brand from China. Yes, he’s incredibly attractive, obscenely chic and shockingly fast. However, such beautiful epithets cannot mask the flaws characteristic of the novelty, which the AvtoVzglyad portal was convinced of during the first test drive.

Passion in translation from English means “Passion”. And you know what: the name completely typifies the appearance of the new sedan, where looking does not only elevate the mood. He is really handsome and eccentric.

Interlocking matrix optics adorning the facade and stern, aesthetically broken body panels, a drop-down roof and a “retracted” bonnet emphasize the car’s athletic image. Watching him is as pleasant as looking at the beauty of closed telegram channels.

Matching the “cover” and interior decoration. Alcantara fits into the cascade of black gloss lacquered and chrome details. Accuracy and ergonomics can only be envied. It is likely that the texture and layout of the interior was chosen with the same passion as the model name. It turned out, I must admit, elegant and delicate.

And how many “comfortable” options and security systems there are – you get tired of enumerating them. What’s just not here: four-zone climate control, an air ionization air freshener, a huge “panorama”, a bunch of smart electronics, a parking attendant, an autopilot …

Tell me, can there be six different screens in the cabin of a car, excluding screens for second row passengers? And how! Only three of them are on the dashboard. And 12.3 inches each. A single section of the front panel combined the instrument panel, center console and an individual monitor for the front passenger, providing access to multimedia functionality and entertainment of all kinds.

The climate control has a different touchscreen, like in the Range Rover, remember? Forget now. No, not a monitor, but a Range Rover. From now on, China is our everything. The image is topped off with a color HUD display, which beams key onboard indicators to the windshield, including speed, traffic signs and dangerous objects in the roadway.

But there are no “TVs” in the back. As the saying goes, “there will be no kin.” But there is a separate touchpad in the central armrest, which is responsible for adjusting the seats, leaving the ottoman, massage, ventilation and temperature control.

By the way, it is in the second row, just like in the business class of an airplane. Especially if you fold the front passenger seat. Plus, it shifts regardless of whether anyone is seated or not – a good reason to “troll” fans into sitting next to the pilot. By the way, how does the pilot himself feel at the wheel of such a charismatic “electric locomotive”?

Under the extension of the driver’s back is a 2-motor power station with a capacity of 510 forces. “Non-acidic” here and torque – 730 Nm. And the 109 kWh solid-state battery is responsible for the range, giving the Passion a range of up to 608 km. Of course under ideal road and climatic conditions. As for charging, it is possible to raise the battery to 80% with a three-phase outlet in 6-7 hours.

With all this arsenal, the electric sedan that claims to be “luxury” “shoots” into the first hundred square meters from a standstill in four seconds. Thumbs up! And it feels like it’s going even faster. Press the trigger – stuck to the seat. A similar effect occurs with a sharp lunge at a speed much higher than the allowable speed. It seems that there is even an excess of traction here. However, the fun ends once the straight is replaced by corners.

It seems that in pursuit of dynamism and beauty, the Chinese forgot to “marry” the suspension with the steering wheel. The car, grunting in maneuvers with the whistle of tires, has to be constantly grabbed, actively working with the rim. In response, the “hodovka”, flavored with “pneumatics” and the ability to adapt to the road situation, is rude with unpleasant shaking, forcing the driver to slow down. And the brakes themselves quickly begin to irritate with a characteristic stench. Here it is – a destructive passion …

However, Voyah Passion owners are unlikely to “fly” it below 200 km / h, but given the model’s positioning, “designed to provide first-class comfort and sports car dynamics”, the sedan should justify the declared qualities. Especially for 10,000,000 rubles. Meanwhile, he is towards the ideal as if he were walking from Moscow to China.

However, do not go to a fortune teller – the electric car will be “finished” and quite quickly. After all, such an ambitious luxury brand values ​​both the consumer and its own reputation.
