Denza Expands Internationally With China Pre‑Orders and India Debut Set

Overview

• BYD opened pre‑orders for the Denza N8 in China on Monday, Oct. 26, and the company reaffirmed a claimed 1,003 km range measured under China’s CLTC cycle.
• Regulatory filings show the N8 will be offered with 130.15 kWh and 105.79 kWh Blade 2.0 battery options that Denza says deliver about 1,003 km and 800 km CLTC ranges and will support Flash ultra‑fast charging.
• BYD India confirmed a Denza brand debut for November 13, 2026, and reports say the D9 MPV and Z9 GT shooting brake are likely to be part of the initial, but not yet formally confirmed, CBU import lineup.
• Denza Australia has pushed the Z9 GT launch to the first half of 2027, citing shifting priorities and certification timing, which underscores regional sequencing that will change when specific models reach each market.
• Denza began as a 2010 BYD–Mercedes‑Benz joint venture now fully owned by BYD, and the company plans to use Completely Built Unit imports, a 2,500‑unit homologation window in some markets, and selected premium dealers and chargers to test demand and build the brand.
