Voyah Passion S 2026: tunnel loop stunt, price and specs

© voyah.com.cn
Voyah says a production Passion S completed a full 360-degree tunnel loop at 130 km/h, echoing Mercedes-Benz's 2010 Schumacher ad, as the 637-hp electric SUV opens pre-orders at 309,900 yuan.

130 km/h, an entry angle of roughly 16 degrees, and a full loop around the inside of a tunnel wall — that’s how Voyah is promoting its new Passion S. The company says the stunt was filmed with a real production car, without weight reduction or special visual effects. Voyah also calls it the first production vehicle to pull off the maneuver, though there’s no independent verification of the record yet.

The scenario deliberately echoes Mercedes-Benz’s famous 2010 SLS AMG commercial with Michael Schumacher, in which the supercar performed a similar tunnel run. But the Passion S has very different proportions: it’s a coupe-styled electric SUV measuring 5,050 mm long, 1,998 mm wide, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase.

The all-wheel-drive version was used for the maneuver. Its two electric motors deliver a combined 475 kW — about 646 PS. The range-topping Passion S Ultra+ is already open for pre-order at 309,900 yuan, roughly $45,600. Official materials also confirm a battery of around 98 kWh, an 800-volt architecture, 5C charging, and up to 700 km of CLTC range for the all-wheel-drive version.

The eye-catching video landed after a strong pre-order start: Dongfeng reported 10,347 orders for the Passion S in the first hour. The model is positioned against the Xiaomi YU7, and the rivalry between the two brands is increasingly moving from spec sheets into demonstrations of capability. SPEEDME has covered a similar case before: the Xiaomi YU7 GT used its Nürburgring lap time as proof of its performance ambitions.

The tunnel loop works well as a showcase of power, grip and precision handling, but buyers will care more about what comes next — the final pricing of production versions, real-world 5C charging results, and how close to the claimed 700 km the range turns out to be outside the CLTC cycle.
