Overview
- Denza revealed the production Z at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 9, 2026, and published UK pricing for three trims: Coupé £142,900, Spider £159,900 and Racing £172,900.
- All Z models use a tri‑motor layout (one front, two rear) that Denza quotes at about 1,582 hp and roughly 1,240 Nm, with 0–100 km/h times of 2.25s (Coupé), 2.3s (Spider) and 1.96s for the Racing when fitted with semi‑slick tyres.
- The car uses a 76 kWh second‑generation Blade LFP battery and supports BYD’s Flash Charging, which Denza says can recharge from 10–97% in roughly nine minutes on 1,500 kW chargers, though that speed requires very high‑power infrastructure that is not yet common.
- The Z sits on BYD’s e3 sports platform and adds steer‑by‑wire, DiSus‑M magnetorheological damping, active torque vectoring and carbon‑ceramic brakes, while WLTP ranges are modest at about 409 km (Coupé), 400 km (Spider) and 380 km (Racing) because of the smaller pack.
- Denza is positioning the Z as a halo product to challenge Porsche, Mercedes and BMW in Europe, with UK pre‑orders and dealer openings planned in 2026, a charger rollout to support Flash Charging, and a Special Edition >2,000 bhp aimed at Nürburgring lap attempts later this year.
