The Denza D9 (Chinese: 腾势D9; pinyin: Téngshì 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.

Overview

edit

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]
