The BYD Denza Z9 reveals its interior
One of the sketches shows a horizontal central screen with what appears to be a very elongated second screen as a digital dashboard behind the steering wheel. Two of the three rear seats have large leg rests.
The sedan will expand BYD’s wide offering which will also launch its Tang DM-i hybrid SUV in 2025 and imposes itself increasingly facing Tesla. The Denza Z9 joins the Z range with the Z9GT, pre-orders for which opened on August 20.
On October 24, Zhao Changjiang, sales manager at Denza, confirmed on Weibo that the teams are preparing the launch of the electric sedan: “The precise date will be communicated as soon as possible depending on the progress of preparations, probably next month. Stay tuned”. The presentation of the BYD Denza Z9 would take place in November for the first deliveries by the end of 2024.
On September 13, the Denza Z9 appeared in the Chinese homologation catalog. The document mentions a PHEV variation and another BEV. For known characteristics: 5220 mm long, 1990 mm wide and 1500-1518 mm high with a wheelbase of 3125 mm. Just like the Z9GT, the electric vehicle will be powered by three electric motors developing 230 kW, 240 kW and 240 kW of maximum power respectively.
Denza is betting big on this sedan to establish its reputation as a premium brand. It remains to be seen whether the technologies of the Benza Z9 will live up to the expectations raised by these first revelations. Response in the coming weeks, with the official opening of orders and the first tests.
As a reminder, Denza is a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz Group and the Z9GT sold out very quickly when it went on sale.
