KUALA LUMPUR: Starting today (Nov 10), Denza Z9GT owners in Malaysia can install an over-the-air (OTA) software update that supports next-generation BYD Flash Charge architecture.
Denza, a luxury brand of BYD Malaysia, said the OTA update brings "next-generation charging capabilities and enhanced driver assistance features" to owners nationwide.
The software deployment, which begins today, serves as the precursor to the official launch of BYD Flash Charge technology in Malaysia, scheduled for Nov 19, 2026.
The latest OTA release introducing two primary enhancement pillars:
- Upgrades the Z9GT’s energy management software to support next-generation BYD Flash Charge architecture, enabling faster power delivery, optimised thermal regulation during high-speed charging, and increased overall convenience on long distance journeys.
- Refines the suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Updates to Intelligent Cruise Control and Traffic Sign Recognition deliver smoother acceleration and deceleration profiles, while automated parking assistance receives stability and algorithm optimisations for even higher success rates in tight spaces.
Z9GT owners in Malaysia will receive an automated notification directly on their vehicle’s central display system.
The OTA installation takes two hours and can be initiated at the owner's convenience during a period when the vehicle is not needed (ensure the vehicle will remain parked and unused for the duration of the update).
"The Denza Z9GT was built as a forward-compatible flagbearer for luxury electric mobility," said BYD Malaysia managing director Jacob Ma.
"With this OTA release, we are laying the foundation for our upcoming BYD Flash Charge technology launch on 19 November. By optimising charging efficiency and refining our intelligent driving software, we are ensuring our owners enjoy a progressively superior experience."
