Second-Generation Denza D9 to Launch on April 27: Redefining Luxury Mobility with 800km Range

Denza, the premium NEV brand under the BYD umbrella, has officially confirmed that the Second-Generation Denza D9 will hit the market on April 27, 2026. Following a successful pre-sale period with six available trims, the luxury MPV is priced between 389,800 and 489,800 RMB.

Built on a new dedicated hybrid MPV platform, the second-gen D9 introduces groundbreaking technologies, including the Blade Battery 2.0, high-speed flash charging, and the advanced DiPilot 5.0 (God’s Eye) driving system.

Refined Aesthetics: Bold Presence and Grand Proportions

The new Denza D9 retains its commanding “Diamond Cut” design language but introduces a more sophisticated front grille with enhanced chrome accents for a three-dimensional effect.

• Exterior Dimensions: 5,250 mm (L) / 1,960 mm (W) / 1,900 mm (H) with a massive 3,110 mm wheelbase.
• Signature Style: The vehicle continues to offer a premium dual-tone body design, emphasizing its status as a flagship luxury carrier.

Interior Revolution: The AI-Driven Smart Cockpit

Inside, the cabin has been completely overhauled to offer a “cleaner” and more intuitive experience.

• New Layout: The center console features a more symmetrical, organized design with a new electronic column shifter and a sleek passenger-side display.
• Rear-Seat Luxury: In addition to the existing individual backrest screens, the second-gen D9 adds a ceiling-mounted entertainment screen for rear passengers.
• Intelligence: The entire lineup comes standard with DiPilot 5.0 (God’s Eye), supported by a new generation of AI-integrated smart cockpit software.

Performance: Pure Electric and DM-i Hybrid Options

The second-generation D9 offers two powerful propulsion systems, both benefiting from the latest Blade Battery 2.0 technology.

1. Plug-in Hybrid (DM-i) Version

• Engine: 1.5T Turbocharged (115 kW).
• Motors: Dual-motor setup (Front: 200 kW / Rear: 45 kW).
• Efficiency: CLTC pure electric range exceeds 400 km, with a fuel consumption of just 6.35L/100km when the battery is depleted.

2. Pure Electric (EV) Version

• Front-Wheel Drive: Upgraded to a 340 kW high-performance motor.
• All-Wheel Drive: Features a dual-motor setup (340 kW Front / 70 kW Rear).

Market Outlook: Why the Denza D9 Matters

The Denza D9 has already proven its dominance in the Chinese market, often outselling traditional legends like the Buick GL8. With the second generation’s jump in battery technology and the inclusion of high-level autonomous driving (DiPilot 5.0), Denza is positioning the D9 not just as a family car, but as a high-tech mobile office.
