The Voyah Free is an electric mid-size SUV produced by Dongfeng under the Voyah brand.

Introduced to the Chinese market in the third quarter of 2021, it was designed alongside Italdesign Giugiaro. It was showcased first as a concept car during the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. The vehicle is based on Dongfeng's Electric Smart Secure Architecture (ESSA) platform, which offers multiple premium features such as adaptive suspension and driving assistance functions.

Voyah offered a high-performance limited-edition model called the Voyah Free DNA, which features higher power output and exterior modifications.

The second generation, sometimes marketed as the Voyah Free+, was introduced in July 2025 and features significant integration of Huawei infotainment and ADAS systems and is available exclusively in a range extender electric powertrain.[1]
