The D9 is the model that relaunched Denza after BYD took majority control of the former BYD-Daimler joint venture. It was unveiled in 2022 and delivered from that autumn. The large MPV comes as a DM-i plug-in hybrid and as a pure-electric EV, with a lounge-style second row aimed at Chinese business and family buyers. It sold extremely well, often leading China's premium MPV sales charts ahead of the Toyota Alphard, and it made Denza BYD's premium brand.
The Denza D9 is a full-size luxury MPV and the model that relaunched Denza as BYD's premium brand after BYD took majority control of the former BYD-Daimler joint venture. It is built on BYD's e-platform and comes as a pure-electric (BEV) version with a Blade battery and as a DM-i plug-in hybrid, which pairs an efficient combustion engine with electric drive for a long combined range. It competes with premium people movers such as the Toyota Alphard and Lexus LM, with a lounge-like cabin, powered captain's chairs and a refined feel. The D9 sold extremely well in China and quickly became the brand's main volume flagship.
