Voyah is the premium electric vehicle brand of the Chinese state-owned automaker Dongfeng Motor Corporation. Established in 2018, Voyah specializes in the design and development of high-end electric vehicles and began independent operations in 2021. The brand was officially introduced in July 2020 and showcased its first concept cars, the i-Free and i-Land, at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. These concepts, co-developed with ItalDesign, previewed the production models built on Dongfeng's Electric Smart Secure Architecture (ESSA) platform.

Voyah entered the European market through a strategic launch in Norway in March 2022. This expansion was facilitated through a partnership with Electric Way, a Norwegian auto distributor headed by CEO Torje Aleksander Sulland. The Sulland Group serves as a major dealer network for Voyah in Norway. The business operates by selling premium electric vehicles directly to consumers through a network of showrooms and online ordering platforms. The first showroom opened in Oslo in June 2022, with plans for expansion into other cities. The first deliveries to Norwegian customers began in December 2022.

The company's primary offering is a portfolio of premium electric vehicles. The first model launched in Norway was the Voyah FREE, a mid-size SUV. This vehicle was specifically adapted for the Norwegian market, featuring a 106.7 kWh battery pack, a WLTP range of up to 500 km, and dual motors producing 360 kW of power. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and has been redesigned to offer a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg to meet local demand. Other models include the Voyah DREAM, a large 7-seater MPV focused on luxury and family comfort, and the Voyah COURAGE sedan. The vehicles are noted for their high level of standard equipment, including features like air suspension, advanced driver-assistance systems, and luxurious interiors.
