Denza Maps Rapid Australian Expansion With Up to Five Models This Year and a Larger Dealer Network

Riding a surge in PHEV sales, the BYD luxury marque is prioritizing rollout and service capacity before moving into ultra‑luxury segments.

Overview

  • Denza has launched locally with the B5 ($74,990 plus on-roads) and B8 ($91,000), both four-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid SUVs offering up to seven seats, 400–425kW outputs and 3.0–3.5‑tonne towing.
  • Executives plan to add four to five models in 2026, with the Z9 GT shooting brake slated for right-hand-drive availability later this year.
  • The dealer footprint is targeted to grow from seven outlets listed today to roughly 20–25 locations by the end of 2026.
  • The Z9 GT is expected in EV and PHEV forms, with claimed outputs of 850kW or 640kW respectively and a PHEV electric-only range of 400km from a 63.82kWh battery.
  • Ultra-luxury Yangwang vehicles, including a reported $250,000 U8, are being deferred until Denza builds sales volume, service coverage and brand reputation.
