On January 6, 2025, in the extreme cold environment of -15°C to -25°C, the Dongfeng Voyah Courage passed CCTV's Wind and Cloud Automotive ice and snow test drive and energy consumption challenge with flying colors. The test team unanimously agreed that this car is "most suitable for driving in cold regions."
Why is the Voyah Courage the Most Reliable Electric Vehicle for Winter?
Voyah Courage is equipped with advanced technologies, including a full-domain 800V high-voltage silicon carbide platform and 5C super-fast charging technology. It also boasts an ultra-long range of up to 901 kilometers, and is specially designed for winter driving needs with a "Warm Heart Package," ensuring outstanding performance in freezing environments.
Outstanding Performance Under Extreme Tests
0-100 Acceleration: On compressed snow surfaces, the Voyah Courage can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.54 seconds, with a normal time of 4.9 seconds. Even in low temperatures, switching between different driving modes still delivers smooth and safe acceleration.
Braking Performance: In the 100-0 km/h braking test on compacted snow, the Courage achieved a braking distance of just 90.48 meters. Thanks to its LFC super rear-drive system, it can brake smoothly, offering stability similar to that of a four-wheel drive vehicle.
LFC Technology: For the first time, the Courage is equipped with LFC technology, a breakthrough in chassis technology developed by the brand. The two core functions of this technology—anti-dazzle and anti-skid tail—preserve the joy of driving a rear-wheel-drive vehicle in curves and extreme conditions while enabling drivers to easily handle complex snowy road conditions.
Complex Terrain Performance: In tests featuring a combination of frozen ice and compacted snow surfaces, the Courage demonstrated a braking distance of 89.77 meters. The driver praised its braking performance, stating that the vehicle “runs, stops, and holds steady."
Climbing and Handling in Cold Environments
Cold-Temperature Hill Climbing Test: In low-temperature conditions, the Courage performed steadily on a half-asphalt, half-ice incline. Whether starting from a full stop, ascending directly, or half-hill starting, the vehicle remained stable without slipping. On steep snowy hills, it continued to perform reliably without relying on inertia, with the intelligent four-wheel drive system preventing rollback.
Snow Handling: On a snow-circled racetrack, the Courage demonstrated exceptional handling. The ESC system intervened in turns to ensure safety. In high-energy mode, the vehicle performed excellently, delivering both exhilarating driving experiences and ensuring safety. On the snow track, it achieved a handling time of 1 minute 27 seconds, close to the handling limits, maintaining stability throughout the course.
Charging and Comfort in Cold Conditions
Charging Performance: Even in outdoor temperatures as low as -25°C, the Courage can charge from 20% to 80% in 23 minutes while maintaining optimal charging temperature in cold conditions. Under normal temperatures, it can recharge for 15 minutes to achieve 515 kilometers of range, ensuring excellent winter performance.
Interior Comfort: The Courage allows drivers to remotely control seat heating and air conditioning via a mobile app, activate the defogging mode, and automatically prevent fogging on the front and rear windows and side mirrors. This ensures a warm, comfortable driving experience in cold weather.
Efficient and Stable Driving Performance
Even on snow-covered highways, the Courage can efficiently recover energy while driving with a nearly full battery, maintaining a smooth and stable driving experience.
Smart Parking Function
In snow-covered parking lots where parking lines are not visible, the Courage can still park automatically. The car can also be remotely controlled via a smartphone to perform reverse and exit maneuvers, making it convenient for frequent vehicle movements.
Looking Ahead: Continuous Innovation and Breakthroughs
Dongfeng Voyah plans to release more than four new or updated models in 2025, further enriching its product lineup. By continuously pushing for innovation and breakthroughs, Voyah aims to deliver smarter and more electrified travel experiences to its users. In the future, Voyah Courage will continue to take on more extreme environments, conquering colder regions and becoming the best choice for winter driving.
With its exceptional technology and performance, the Voyah Courage has become the ideal vehicle for winter driving in cold regions. Whether it’s acceleration, braking, hill climbing, or smart features and charging performance, this car showcases remarkable reliability and comfort in extreme cold, making it the perfect companion for winter journeys.
