Overview
- Denza, BYD’s luxury brand, unveiled the production Z Convertible at the Beijing motor show with a claimed output above 1,000 hp and a sub‑2.0‑second 0–100 km/h sprint.
- BYD says the new battery supports 1,500 kW ‘Flash’ charging for roughly an 80% top‑up in about nine minutes, with the company planning to start its own fast‑charger rollout in Australia in the final quarter of 2026.
- Confirmed hardware includes steer‑by‑wire steering, DiSus‑M magnetorheological suspension, and camera‑based predictive road‑sensing for smoother ride control.
- Denza says the Z range will comprise a coupe, a soft‑top convertible, and a track‑focused version, with a dynamic public debut set for the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July and an unusual Europe‑first sales push.
- Full specifications and pricing remain to be announced, with local reports in China suggesting about $65,000 that would undercut rivals such as Maserati and Porsche, though export prices are still unclear.
