Overview
- Denza says the Z uses a three‑motor layout that delivers 1,582 horsepower and will be offered in coupe, convertible and track Racing variants with roughly 410 km, 400 km and 380 km range figures respectively.
- The car uses a 76 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that Denza and BYD say can accept up to 1,500 kW and charge from 10% to 70% in five minutes or to 97% in nine minutes.
- A controlled European demonstration reached 97% in about 9 minutes 22 seconds, providing manufacturer‑run corroboration of the ultra‑fast charging outside China.
- Denza published internal safety and durability tests, including a combined fast‑charge and nail‑penetration check and 500 full‑power cycles with no thermal runaway, but independent long‑term real‑world validation is limited.
- Wider adoption depends on scarce 1.5‑MW charging infrastructure, convincing premium buyers, and Denza’s planned Europe push that includes Goodwood showcases, pre‑orders and dealer openings.
