The hybrid will be offered, among other things, with a cabin for four, however, such a design will appear only next year.
A large four-door in the line of the Chinese premium brand Voyah, which belongs to the Dongfeng concern, appeared last year: in its homeland the model is known as Zhuiguang or Chasing Light, and in export markets, including Russia, it bears the name Passion. Previously, the sedan was available exclusively as an electric car, but now the range has been expanded: sales of the rechargeable all-wheel drive PHEV hybrid have started in the Middle Kingdom.

At the same time, a VIP version with a cabin for four has also been announced for the Voyah Passion PHEV; this version was called the CEO Concierge Limited Edition (the electric car does not have this yet). Instead of a sofa, there are separate and more luxurious armchairs in the back; on the tunnel between them there is a touch panel, which obviously controls all available functions. There are also folding tables and a couple of large tablets. Note that the Voyah Dream minivan also has a similar VIP option, and it is sold in Russia.
< p>The five-seat hybrid sedan is offered in two trim levels for 252,800 and 277,800 yuan – this is approximately 3.2 million and 3.6 million rubles at the current exchange rate. The main difference is that the more expensive Voyah Passion PHEV has air suspension. The CEO Concierge Limited Edition will cost 358,800 yuan (about 4.6 million rubles), but the four-seater sedan will go on sale only next year (and it is possible that its circulation will be limited). The electric Voyah Passion in China today costs from 322,900 yuan (4.1 million rubles).
Most likely, the hybrid will subsequently reach the Russian market.
