SYDNEY: The Denza Z9GT grand tourer is due to start deliveries in Australia in the third quarter of 2026.
It will be the first model sold in Australia with BYD’s next-generation Blade Battery 2.0 technology and Flash ultra-fast charging.
The first Flash charging sites at selected Denza dealers in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide are expected to be operational during the fourth quarter of 2026.
With the Flash charger’s peak 1,500kW DC capability, ‘filling up’ from 10 to 97 per cent takes nine minutes.
In CLTC tests overseas, the Z9GT has a range of 820km.
The Z9GT rides on the brand’s new e3 platform which features a world-first three driving motors for unprecedented performance and manoeuvrability when it comes to parking, for example.
The grand tourer is said to offer supercar-rivalling performance with EV (electric vehicle) precision.
System output is expected to be around 850kW – over 1,130hp – enabling a zero to 100kph sprint time in 2.7 seconds.
The Z9GT will be the first vehicle to feature advanced DiSus-A air suspension, which together with the e3 platform ensures the Z9GT remains composed, confident and comfortable at all times – even when the unfortunate happens, such as a tyre blowout which can occur when driving long distances on Australian roads.
The onboard software helps manage a blowout at highway speeds in milliseconds by actively controlling power delivery, steering behavior and braking at the same time.
The Z9GT is a vision bought to life by head of design Wolfgang Egger, who described the sculptured exterior design and bespoke interior as the culmination of a “creative university” involving more than 1,200 designers and engineers from around the word.
It embodies the “Elegance in Motion” philosophy — where performance, technology and beauty are inseparable.
Inside, highlights include premium Nappa leather seating with massage, ventilation and extended leg rests, a 50-inch augmented reality head-up display, Devialet premium audio, ambient lighting with 128 colour selections, and a built-in refrigerator.
Denza Australia chief operating officer Mark Harland said the Z9GT lifts Denza onto the global stage as a leader in new-energy luxury performance.
“The Denza Z9GT proves that electrification can deliver not just efficiency, but exhilarating performance, extraordinary safety and genuine long-distance usability," he said.
