The body of VOYAH’s MPV possesses three pioneering innovations, namely a 2000MPa hot-stamped door ring, an MPV-first 200MPa aluminum-silicon composite coating door beam, and an MPV-first penetrating aluminum rocker rail. According to the carmaker, the auto body is made of 70% high-strength steel and 23.6% hot stamping steel, forging a super-high-strength cage-type cabin framework.

The 2000MPa hot-stamped laser-weld door ring covers the A/B pillars and the bottom cross member of the car, ensuring safety against impact as well as lightening the vehicle weight and increasing NEDC.

In order to optimize onboard protection for passengers and the battery pack, the penetrating aluminum rocker rail can minimize intrusion and speed.
