The King Returns: 2nd Gen Denza D9 Officially Launched with 800km Range and 10-Screen Cockpit

On April 27, the highly anticipated Second-Generation Denza D9 officially hit the market. As the flagship luxury MPV from the BYD-backed premium brand, the new D9 arrives with six trim levels priced between $49,600 – $64,800 (RMB 359,800 – 469,800).

Built on an all-new dedicated hybrid MPV platform, the second generation introduces a massive leap in battery technology, AI integration, and chassis dynamics.

1. Revolutionary Powertrain: 400km Pure EV Range for PHEVs

The most significant upgrade lies under the floor. The Second-Gen D9 is the first to feature BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery combined with ultra-fast “Flash Charge” technology.

PHEV (DM-i) Version: Features a 1.5T engine paired with dual motors. It carries a 66.5kWh battery, achieving a class-leading 400km pure electric range (CLTC) and a fuel consumption of just 6.35L/100km when the battery is depleted.
BEV (Pure Electric) Version: Equipped with a 115kWh battery, the RWD version offers 750km, while the AWD version pushes the boundary to 800km (CLTC).
Charging: One year of free “Flash Charging” is included with the launch, significantly reducing downtime for long-distance travel.

2. World-Class Intelligence: DiLink AI & 10-Screen Linkage

Denza has redefined the “Smart Cabin” by offering up to 10 integrated screens, creating a mobile command center.

The Front Row: Includes a 10.25-inch cluster, a 21-inch HUD, a 15.6-inch main screen, and a unique retractable 15.6-inch passenger screen that doubles as a 5kg-load work table.
The Rear Row: Features a 17.3-inch ceiling-mounted display, dual magnetic headrest screens, and dual armrest touchscreens for seat control.
NFC Connectivity: Passengers can now control rear entertainment and seat functions simply by tapping their smartphones against the NFC sensors on the armrests.

3. High-Tier Autonomous Driving: God’s Eye 5.0

Safety and automation have been upgraded to the “God’s Eye” 5.0 system.

Hardware: Equipped with 3 LiDAR units and 12 cameras.
Capabilities: Supports full-scenario NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) for both highways and urban environments, along with 120km/h high-speed AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking).
Stability: Features specialized “High-Speed Blowout Stabilization” and “Crosswind Stability” systems to ensure the heavy MPV remains composed in extreme conditions.

4. Luxury & Utility: The 882L Trunk Secret

Thanks to the new platform’s integration, Denza moved the exhaust silencer to the front compartment.

Hidden Storage: This architectural change creates a 126L sunken storage space in the rear.
Total Capacity: The trunk volume has increased to 882L, comfortably accommodating luggage for 7 passengers—a rarity in the MPV segment.
Interior Refinement: Piano black plastics have been replaced with Ink-Smeared Spruce wood trim, paired with 30-speaker Devialet audio and a 7.5L intelligent fridge.

5. Chassis: DiSus-C & Anti-Motion Sickness Tech

To solve the common “boaty” feel of large MPVs, the D9 comes standard with the DiSus-C intelligent damping body control system. It also features a proprietary Anti-Motion Sickness system, which uses predictive damping to smooth out the micro-vibrations that cause nausea for rear passengers.
