The Denza D9 is a battery electric and plug-in hybrid minivan marketed by Denza, a brand owned by Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto. The D9 was introduced in China in May 2022 as first Denza model after the brand's restructuring. It is based on BYD's e-platform 3.0 structure for the EV model, and the DM-i platform for the plug-in hybrid model.
The Denza D9 was first launched in the market in August 2022. Four hybrid variants and two full electric trim levels were offered at launch. An ultra-luxury four-seat variant, called the Premier Founder's Edition, was also available as a 99-unit limited production model, and came in a special two-tone paint job.[3]
For the interior, the D9 is equipped with seven screens with three in the front including a 10.25-inch instrument panel, a 15.6-inch central control screen, and a head-up display. For the second row, two screens are on the front seatbacks, and two are in the second-row armrests. There is also a refrigerator between the front seats, accessible by occupants in the second row. Screen mirroring of Android phones is also offered on the TS Link intelligent interactive cockpit. The second-row captain chairs are 10-way adjustable and come with footrests, heating, ventilating, and a 10-point massage function. Three quick wireless phone chargers are also included. [4]
Maximum DC charging for EV model is 166 kW, with charging ports on both rear quarter panels so slower chargers can be combined to achieve the maximum rate.[5]
The plug-in hybrid models have a driving range between NaN0NaN0, with 1900NaN0 of pure electric range, and offers up to 80 kW DC fast charging with a fuel consumption of 6.21NaN1. Power comes from a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine mated with an electric motor in the DM-i EHS170 electric hybrid system and a 3-in-1 rear-drive hybrid assembly.
