Denza begins sales in China of the Z9 GT luxury sports estate

Denza was originally a joint venture created in equal parts between Mercedes-Benz and BYD, but today it is wholly owned by the latter.

One month after the start of its pre-sale , the new fully electric Denza Z9 GT is finally on sale in the Chinese market from 354,800 yuan. At the current exchange rate, that works out to roughly 45,500 euros. Customers who wish to can also enjoy this luxury vehicle at a slightly lower price by opting for the plug-in hybrid version, which starts at around 43,000 euros at the current exchange rate.

Besides the level of luxury it offers, the Denza Z9 GT also stands out for its road performance thanks to its three motors, two on the rear axle and one more on the front, which give anyone behind the wheel of this striking vehicle 710 kW of combined power. The front motor delivers 230 kW, while each of the rear motors delivers 240 kW.

The Denza Z9 GT is available in the Chinese market in two fully electric versions and three plug-in hybrid versions, to which two special limited editions must be added: the Denza Z9 GT PHEV Max LFE and Denza Z9 GT PHEV Ultra LFE, of which only 2,010 units will go on sale.

All versions feature four-wheel drive, and the fully electric versions promise a range of up to 630 kilometres on a single charge under the somewhat generous Chinese CLTC homologation cycle. The most powerful electric version is also capable of accelerating from standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds.

Coming soon to Europe too

As we already mentioned in a previous post here at HighMotor, Denza has already expressed its intention to bring the Z9 GT to Europe in the near future, without specifying when. The Chinese manufacturer hinted at this last spring during a public demonstration of a prototype in Stuttgart, where BYD, Denza’s parent company, stated that the Z9 GT will play a crucial role in the brand’s global sales.

Finally, it is worth noting that the design of the Z9 GT was the work of Wolfgang Egger, former chief designer at Audi and currently head of design at BYD.
