Both models imported as CBUs from China and offered with a complimentary 11 kW home charger and a standard 6-year/1,50,000 km warranty

Denza, one of BYD Auto’s several car brands, has launched the D9 and Z9 GT as its first cars in India. The company offers both models in plug-in hybrid and pure electric variants internationally but has brought only the latter to India. The D9 costs Rs. 90 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Z9 GT retails at Rs. 1.57 crore (ex-showroom).

The Denza D9 is a premium MPV like the MG M9, measuring 5,250 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width, and 1,900 mm in height, along with a 3,110-mm wheelbase. It accommodates seven people with a 2+2+3 seating layout. The front seats are 8-way electrically adjustable and offer 4-way power lumbar support, massage, memory, ventilation, and heating functions. Front occupants also get two 50-watt wireless charging pads.

The second-row seats are captain’s chairs featuring 10-way power adjustment, electrically adjustable leg rests, 10-point massage, memory, ventilation, and heating. Second-row passengers also get two cup holders and a hot and cold refrigerator, both integrated into the rear of the centre console, as well as two 50-watt wireless charging pads. The third-row seats are 4-way electrically adjustable.

A front-mounted electric motor produces 340 kW (456 hp) and 365 Nm of torque, and it uses electricity stored in a 115.07 kWh LFP battery pack. This setup allows the D9 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and travel up to 730 kilometres, as per NEDC. Charging from 10% to 97% SoC takes just 9 minutes via BYD’s new Flash Chargers, although this infrastructure does not exist in our market at the moment.

The Denza Z9 GT is a full-size shooting brake, measuring 5,180 mm in length, 1,990 mm in width, and 1,490 mm in height, along with a 3,125 mm wheelbase. It offers 495 liters of luggage space, which can be expanded to 1,680 litres by folding the rear seat. It comes with features like a dual-chamber air suspension, rear-wheel steering, pencil compass turn, crab-walk mode, and a retractable tail wing.

Inside, the driver and front passenger get 8-way electrically adjustable seats with 4-way power lumbar support, massage, memory, ventilation, and heating functions, powered headrests, and 2-way power thigh support. The rear seat is 2-way power adjustable and offers massage, power recline, ventilation, and heating functions.

Other interior highlights include a 13.2-inch 2.5K front passenger screen, a 20-speaker Devialet sound system, a hot and cold refrigerator, two 50-watt front wireless charging pads in the front, and a 50-watt rear wireless charging pad in the rear.

The Z9 GT sports three electric motors, including two 310 kW (416 hp)/400 Nm units in the back and a 230 kW (308 hp)/410 Nm unit in the front, powered by a 122.49 kWh LFP battery pack. With 850 kW (1,140 hp) of total power and 1,210 Nm of total torque, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 270 km/h.

It can travel up to 670 kilometres on a single charge, as per NEDC. The 122.49 kWh LFP battery pack also takes only 9 minutes to charge from 10% to 97% SoC, but only with BYD’s new Flash Chargers, which are not available in India.
