The Denza Z9 (Chinese: 腾势Z9; pinyin: Téngshì Z9) is an executive car produced by Denza, a brand owned by Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto. Introduced in April 2024 at the Beijing Auto Show, the Z9 is available as a 5-door shooting brake or station wagon / estate marketed as the Z9 GT, or a more traditional 4-door sedan, both of which are offered with plug-in hybrid and battery electric powertrain options.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Overview

The Z9 was designed under the leadership of BYD's global design director, Wolfgang Egger. According to a Denza executive, the Z9 GT targeted European competitors such as the Porsche Panamera and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.^[5]

The Z9 went on sale in China on 20 August 2024. At the same time, Denza also introduced the three-box sedan version of the Z9, without the "GT" moniker. It is available with the same trim levels and price with the GT model.^[6]

Despite 3,125mm wheelbase, turning radius of 4,620mm is smaller than what most city cars are capable of.^[7]
