BYD Confirms Denza B5 and B8 Plug-In Hybrid SUVs for Australia in November

BYD will market a curated selection from its Fangchengbao, Yangwang, Denza lines under the single Denza banner in Australia.

Overview

The five-seat B5 targets Toyota Prado-sized SUVs, while the seven-seat B8 is aimed at Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series and Nissan Patrol rivals.
Locally, BYD will consolidate premium models from Fangchengbao and Yangwang under Denza to simplify its upscale offering.
Both SUVs use a body-on-frame chassis with BYD’s DMO plug-in hybrid architecture and adjustable air suspension for off-road capability.
Manufacturer claims cite the B5 with a 1.5-litre turbo plus twin motors (505kW/760Nm, about 100km EV-only, WLTP range up to 1020km) and the B8 with a 2.0-litre turbo plus twin motors (550kW/760Nm, 0–100km/h in 4.8s, about 100km EV-only, WLTP up to 984km).
Right-hand-drive testing has been seen in Australia and media have driven prototypes, while pricing, final specifications and dealer network details will be announced closer to launch.
