Overview
- Order books for the Z9 GT opened on Thursday, July 23, with the all‑electric model priced from £105,000 and a plug‑in hybrid due later from £95,000.
- The EV uses a three‑motor layout and a 122 kWh Blade Battery 2.0 pack that Denza says delivers about 373 miles WLTP range and 0–62 mph in 2.7 seconds.
- Denza and BYD claim Flash Charging can deliver up to 1,500 kW, taking the battery from 10% to 70% in about five minutes and 10% to 97% in about nine minutes.
- No compatible 1.5 MW Flash Chargers are yet publicly available in the UK despite BYD’s pledge to roll out installations and public, independent verification of the charging times is still limited.
- Denza positions the Z9 GT as a premium European halo for BYD that pairs a headline EV with a practical three‑motor PHEV option and leverages BYD’s vertical integration, though European pricing is far higher than in China.
