Overview
- Denza, BYD’s premium marque, debuted in Paris with the Z9GT electric flagship and the D9 DM‑i plug‑in MPV and said sales start soon in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK through new stores.
- The Z9GT uses three motors rated at 850 kW, a 122.5 kWh battery and about 600 km WLTP range, with a listed price of €115,000 in Germany.
- The D9 DM‑i pairs a 1.5‑liter turbo engine with two electric motors for 260 kW total output and up to 210 km electric WLTP range, with a quoted €80,000 to €90,000 price range in Germany.
- BYD promotes Flash Charging for the Z9GT using its second‑generation Blade battery, but published peak power figures conflict at 1,500 kW versus 559 kW and the one‑cable high‑power plug now fits only a Chinese‑market connector.
- BYD said it aims to open 6,000 Flash‑Charging stations outside China within 12 months, including 3,000 in Europe, and it is offering early buyers free charging, though it has not detailed European sites or supported power levels yet.
