Denza Accelerates Europe Push With D9 Hybrid Van, DZ9 Fastback

The rollout signals a direct bid to challenge established European premium models.

Overview

  • Denza confirmed the D9 MPV for Europe and Germany as its second model after the Z9GT, with orders due in spring and a price range of €80,000 to €90,000.
  • The D9 will be sold only as a plug-in hybrid using Denza’s Super-Hybrid DM-i system, which pairs a 1.5‑liter turbo engine with two electric motors for 260 kW and all-wheel drive.
  • A 58.5‑kWh lithium iron phosphate battery enables a WLTP test cycle electric range of 210 km and a claimed 950 km total range, with DC fast charging stated at up to 559 kW.
  • Separate MIIT filings in China revealed a new DZ9 fastback EV with a three-motor top version rated at 990 kW (1,346 PS) and WLTP ranges listed at roughly 600 to 800 km.
  • Denza says the DZ9 launches in China in spring 2026, and reporters expect a later European entry at about €100,000, positioning it against high-end rivals such as the Porsche Taycan.
