KUALA LUMPUR: The Denza Z9GT, the flagship shooting-brake grand tourer from BYD's premium brand, is set to arrive in Malaysia soon.
In a statement, Denza Malaysia said the company continues to strengthen its local presence while preparing for the arrival of its flagship model, the Z9GT.
"The upcoming Z9GT represents the very best of what Denza stands for, bringing together advanced technology, refined craftsmanship, elevated safety, and sophisticated design. We look forward to sharing more with Malaysian customers as we continue to grow the Denza brand in Malaysia,” said BYD Malaysia managing director Jacob Ma.
Denza had recently launched a new global brand campaign featuring British actor Daniel Craig, coinciding with the brand’s broader international expansion in 2026.
“Denza’s latest global campaign marks an exciting moment for the brand as it continues to grow its international presence, and it is equally meaningful for us here in Malaysia as we prepare for the next phase of the brand locally," said Ma.
Meanwhile, the Z9GT will make its European debut on April 8, offering the game-changing Flash Charging and BYD's latest Blade Battery 2.0.
Flash Charging harnesses breakthroughs in two key areas: the latest version of BYD's own charging station, capable of up to 1,500kW of charging power (Chinese-market connector) through a single cable, and the second generation of the company's trademark Blade Battery.
In practical terms, Flash Charging brings the principle of "Ready in 5, Full in 9, Cold add 3"– based on its standout recharging times.
Flash Charging can take the battery from 10% to 70% in five minutes, and from 10% to 97% in nine minutes.
And even in conditions as cold as -30°C, which can drastically reduce charging speeds, Flash Charging can replenish from 20% to 97% in 12 minutes ("add 3").
The Z9GT features European-influenced design and an e3 Platform that is bespoke to the Denza brand.
The inclusion of Flash Charging will give the Z9GT a further technological advantage, particularly when coupled with the extensive range offered by its 122kWh Blade Battery – up to 800km in the rear-wheel-drive edition.
The triple-motor version of the all-electric model has over 960PS, ensuring 0-100kph acceleration in less than three seconds.
Inside, the Z9GT will be the first European vehicle to offer an opera-house entertainment experience, thanks to a partnership with French audio specialist Devialet.
It uses a bespoke speaker set-up and Dolby Atmos immersive audio technology.
