Under the BYD family there is another brand that focuses on offering luxury electric cars, namely Denza. Through Denza, more luxurious electric car models have begun to flood the Chinese market and today the Denza D9 is introduced as their first model to be sold in Malaysia.
The Denza D9 is an Electric MPV that comes in two versions, namely Advanced and Premium, which are distinguished by their drive. The Advanced version has a front-wheel drive electric motor with a power of 230 kW 308 hp with a maximum torque of 360 Nm allowing acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. The Premium version is all-wheel drive, and with two electric motors at the front and rear, it has a power of 275 kW 369hp with a maximum torque of 470 Nm allowing acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.
Both versions have the same battery size of 103.36 kWh but due to the difference in drivetrain, the Advanced version has a range of 600 KM NEDC / 520 KM WLTP while the Premium version has a range of 580 KM NEDC / 480 KM WLTP. It is also equipped with Level 2 Self-driving and various ADAS equipment. Both are equipped with 166 kW DC fast charging allowing 30-80% charging in 30 minutes and 11 kW AC charging.
The interior is clearly luxurious. The middle row seat has a seat control display to set the seat and also activate the massage function, control the temperature, open and close the doors and mirrors and much more. There is also a 50W wireless charger for smartphones located on the side of the user and also a translucent roof, as well as a roof that can be opened for the driver and front passenger. There is even a space for you to store cold or hot drinks, according to the user's choice.
The Premium version is more luxurious with Nappa leather seats, LCD rearview mirrors and a different suspension system.
Prices for both models will be announced during the official launch next week and are expected to be offered at a lower price than the Zeekr 009. Let's all look forward to further announcements next week.
