Overview
- Voyah released edited footage of a Passion S completing a 360‑degree loop inside a closed tunnel at roughly 130 km/h, and an independent one‑take video from CarNewsChina corroborated that the run was real.
- Footage and reports show the SUV relied on centrifugal force and purpose‑built ramps to stay on the tunnel surface, with the car’s safety systems applying the brakes toward the end of the rotation.
- Earlier social media clips showed a camouflaged Passion S nearly failing a lower‑speed attempt when brakes engaged and the vehicle landed roughly, prompting renewed scrutiny before the confirmed run.
- The Passion S is offered in China with a single rear motor of about 300 kW or a dual‑motor setup up to roughly 475 kW, weighs about 2.3 tonnes, and is priced from ¥229,900 to ¥309,900.
- Voyah, a Dongfeng sub‑brand, staged the stunt as a viral marketing push to raise awareness of the Passion S as it competes with models like the Tesla Model Y and Xiaomi’s YU7 in China’s crowded EV market.
