Production SUV models of the BYD Denza N9 successfully leave assembly line for the first time.
The Denza N9, a six-seat large hybrid SUV model, made its official debut in China in mid-2025, with plans to enter markets like the UAE and Australia by the end of the year. This ambitious expansion follows the successful launch of the Denza N9 in its home market.
Powered by BYD's e3 technology, the Denza N9 boasts a unique tri-motor independent drive system with dual-motor independent steering at the rear wheels. The SUV is equipped with three electric motors: a front motor with a peak power of 200 kW, and two rear motors each with 240 kW. Additionally, it features a 2.0T engine producing 204 hp and 325 Nm torque.
The Denza N9's sophisticated e3 three-electric-motor system, combined with its 46.9 kWh Blade lithium iron phosphate battery, offers a pure electric range of 202 km (CLTC cycle) and a combined range of approximately 1,302 km with the hybrid system. The SUV can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in an impressive 3.9 seconds, and rapid charging from 30% to 80% takes just 19 minutes.
Pricing for the Denza N9 in the UAE is expected to start around AED 200,000, while in China, the price range is approximately 389,800 to 449,800 yuan (~AED 194,000 to AED 224,000). The Denza brand aims to establish its presence strongly in premium markets such as Australia and the UAE by the end of 2025, positioning itself as a competitor to premium brands like Lexus and Genesis, targeting affluent customers seeking luxury electric and hybrid SUVs.
Sales targets for 2025 have not been publicly disclosed, with Denza focusing on premium market penetration rather than specific volume targets. However, according to local media outlet AutoPix, Denza aims to sell more than 300,000 units in 2025.
The Denza N9 is not just a powerful hybrid SUV; it is also packed with technologies for intelligence and safety. Denza is also working on an electric sports car, as indicated by spy photos. Additionally, the brand plans to launch a new MPV in 2025 that's bigger and more powerful than the D9 MPV.
In 2024, Denza delivered a total of 126,035 vehicles, a 1.41% decrease from 2023. The Denza N9 has dimensions of 5,258 mm in length, 2,030 mm in width, and 1,830 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,125 mm. Denza's current models on sale include the N7 SUV, Z9 sedan, Z9GT hatchback, and D9 MPV.
As the Denza N9 begins to roll out in showrooms, it promises to redefine a new standard of mobility for large flagship SUVs, offering a blend of power, range, rapid charging, and luxury at an affordable price point for its target market.
