The Denza D9 (Chinese: 腾势D9; pinyin: Téngshì D9) is a battery electric and plug-in hybrid minivan produced and manufactured by Chinese brand Denza, a premium marque of BYD Auto. It debuted in May 2022 as the first Denza model after the brand's restructuring. It is built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 structure for the EV model, and the DM-i platform for the plug-in hybrid model.[2]

Overview

The D9 was introduced on 16 May 2022 in China,[3] after its exterior and interior design, as well its name, were revealed through mid-to-late April 2022.[4][5][6] Sales for the Chinese market were commenced on 23 August 2022,[7] with the first units rolling out on 21 October 2022,[8] while deliveries began on 25 October 2022.[9] It is initially offered with seven trim levels, which consist of four trims for the DM-i models, and three trims for the EV models, with trim level names include the Deluxe (DM-i only), Premium and Flagship (all models).[7]

The interior is equipped with seven infotainment screens featuring three in the front, including a 10.25-inch instrument panel, a 15.6-inch central control screen, and a head-up display. For the second row, two screens are on the front seatbacks, and two are in the second-row armrests. There is also a refrigerator between the front seats, accessible by occupants in the second row. Screen mirroring of Android phones is also offered on the TS Link intelligent interactive cockpit. The second-row captain chairs are 10-way adjustable and come with footrests, heating, ventilating, and a 10-point massage function. Three quick wireless phone chargers are also included.[10]

The D9 made its global debut in March 2023 at the 44th Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand.[11]

Powertrain options were also updated on specific trims.[14]

In December 2024, for the 2025 model year, the D9 received a second update, which saw the DM-i model moves to the fifth-generation DM-i platform and received an updated grille pattern design.[15][16] All trims were come standard with a LiDAR sensor mounted on the front of the roof on the center, and BYD's "God's Eye" BAS 3.0+ advanced driving assistance system.

Other changes include a Starry Grey exterior color, an additional dashboard screen for the front passenger, 10-screen interconnectivity, second-row zero-gravity seats, power-seat adjustment for the third-row seats, and updated heating and cooling support for the on-board refrigerator.[17]
