BYD has released a teaser of the Denza D9 ahead of its official local unveiling on November 13, 2026. The luxury MPV will arrive alongside the Z9 GT as the Chinese manufacturer prepares to establish its Denza division in the domestic market. The D9 was recently photographed without camouflage in Mumbai too. Both vehicles could be imported as completely built units with the D9 expected to rival the MG M9 and Toyota Vellfire.
The Denza D9 is available internationally in battery electric and plug-in hybrid configurations, although the former is expected to be offered in India. The electric version uses a 103 kWh Blade battery and delivers a claimed driving range of up to 520 km on the WLTP cycle. The front-wheel drive variant produces 313 hp and 360 Nm while the dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration makes 374 hp and 470 Nm. The MPV also supports DC fast charging at up to 200 kW.
The electric MPV measures 5,250 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width and 1,920 mm in height. The wheelbase measures 3,110 mm allowing sufficient room for three rows of seating. The exterior features a large front grille panel, sleek LED headlamps, sculpted bumpers and a relatively upright roofline. The electrically operated sliding rear doors are complemented by large side windows and chrome accents. Connected LED tail lamps, a roof spoiler, and prominent Denza branding are also present.
The interior of the D9 has been developed to accommodate seven occupants in a 2+2+3 seating arrangement. The second row receives individual captain chairs featuring electrically adjustable backrests, extendable leg supports, heating, ventilation and massage functions. Nappa leather upholstery, wood trim and suede surfaces are offered in the international version. The electrically operated sliding doors provide convenient access to the second and third rows, while the spacious cabin is intended for customers seeking chauffeur-driven transportation.
The dashboard incorporates a 15.6-inch central touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument console. Other equipment offered overseas comprises a 14-speaker Dynaudio sound system, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, three-zone automatic climate control, and configurable ambient lighting. The second row can also be specified with individual entertainment screens. The safety systems comprise multiple airbags, a surround-view camera and driver assistance functions.
The Denza Z9 GT will also make its Indian debut at the same event introducing the luxury division’s performance electric shooting brake. The international model uses a three-motor powertrain developing a combined 1,156 hp and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in a claimed 2.7 seconds. Rear-wheel steering is another notable feature of the Z9 GT. The two vehicles will be positioned above the existing BYD passenger vehicle portfolio in India which currently consists of the Atto 3, Seal, Sealion 7 and eMax 7.
