New Delhi: BYD's luxury car brand, Denza, has released an official teaser for its first MPV in India, the D9. The company will introduce this luxury MPV in India on November 13th. Just a few days ago, the Denza D9 was spotted testing in India without any camouflage. It is expected that the company will launch it in the Indian car market alongside its performance car, the Z9 GT. These two models could be the Denza brand's first products in India.

Denza D9 will be a 7-seater luxury electric MPV

The Denza D9 is a large 7-seater luxury MPV. It is expected to be offered in India as a fully electric CBU. However, a plug-in hybrid version is also available in international markets. The global electric model is powered by a 103kWh BYD Blade battery. According to the WLTP cycle, it can deliver a range of up to 520 km on a single charge. Its front-wheel drive version produces 313bhp and 360Nm of torque. The all-wheel drive version produces 374bhp and 470Nm of torque. Details about which of these versions will be launched in India are not yet known.

Large front grille and power sliding doors

According to spy photos that have surfaced in India, the Denza D9's design appears to be quite large and straightforward. Its front features a large closed-off grille, LED lighting, and 18-inch alloy wheels. It also features power sliding doors, making it easier for rear passengers to enter and exit. The rear features a connected LED taillight bar. Overall, its design is reminiscent of a premium, large family MPV.

15.6-inch touchscreen and massage seats

The cabin of the international model features Nappa leather upholstery with wood and suede finishes. The second row features captain seats with electric adjustment, ventilation, heating, and massage functions. Separate touchscreens are also available for rear passengers. The dashboard features a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment display and a 10.25-inch digital driver display. Features include a 14-speaker Dynaudio sound system, a panoramic sunroof, three-zone climate control, ADAS, and a 360-degree camera.

The price could be up to Rs 95 lakh

The Denza D9 is expected to be priced between ₹8.5 million and ₹9.5 million (ex-showroom). At this price, it will compete with the MG M9, which starts at ₹7.994 million (ex-showroom). It could also be a fully electric alternative to luxury MPVs like the Toyota Vellfire and Mercedes-Benz V-Class. The company is expected to share more details during its India debut on November 13th.
