Voyah Passion S 2026: price, range and specs vs Xiaomi YU7

Voyah has sharply cut the entry price of its new Passion S: a limited-time offer now starts at 223,900 yuan, or about $31,100. That is 9,600 yuan below the current base Xiaomi YU7, which costs 233,500 yuan — a gap of roughly 4.1%. The priciest Passion S trim dropped even more after the pre-sale phase, from 309,900 to 273,900 yuan, a cut of 36,000 yuan, or 11.6%. The pre-sale price for the top trim had indeed opened at 309,900 yuan.

Buyers get three trims to choose from. Regular sticker prices are 229,900, 255,900 and 279,900 yuan, while the limited-time starting prices are 223,900, 249,900 and 273,900 yuan.

Rear-wheel-drive cars get a single electric motor rated at 300 kW, or about 408 hp. The all-wheel-drive Ultra+ pairs 175 kW and 300 kW motors for a combined output of 475 kW, roughly 646 hp. This powertrain data, along with the 81.6 kWh and 98.1 kWh battery options, had already been published before sales began, during the pre-sale stage.

The longest claimed range reaches 740 km on the CLTC cycle for the rear-wheel-drive version with the 98.1 kWh battery. The all-wheel-drive variant is rated at 700 km. The architecture is 800 volts, and 5C charging can take the battery from 20% to 80% in around 10 minutes. In China, the combination of 800-volt architecture and fast charging is already becoming one of the main battlegrounds in the premium EV segment.

More unusual than the price war is the equipment list. Every trim comes with four lidar units and Huawei Qiankun ADS 5: one main 896-channel sensor is joined by three lidars covering the blind spots. The car uses 33 sensors in total. Back at the pre-sale stage, Dongfeng had already confirmed the four lidars and Huawei ecosystem on the Passion S. Voyah is making a similar bet on Huawei technology in its other new models, including the Taishan X8.

The Passion S measures 5,050x1,998x1,656 mm with a 3,000 mm wheelbase, which does put it close in size to the Xiaomi YU7. But Voyah’s advantage right now shows up most clearly in price: its current entry ticket undercuts the base YU7, while the Passion S’s maximum range of 740 km beats the 643 km CLTC figure of the new entry-level YU7.

A Russian launch for the Passion S has not been announced. Voyah’s official Russian lineup currently lists the Free, the Dream and the Passion sedan; the new Chinese Passion S is not part of it, and neither is the Taishan, which has been announced but has yet to go on sale. The brand itself has been growing fast in Russia: Voyah registrations were up 143% over the first 13 weeks of 2026, so another crossover joining the lineup would look like a logical expansion — but no confirmed timeline exists yet.
