Denza D9 & Z9 GT 2026: India Launch, Price & Specs

BYD's premium brand Denza has officially entered India. The luxury marque launched two all-electric flagships on Friday 13 November 2026: the seven-seat D9 luxury MPV at ₹90,00,000 and the high-performance Z9 GT shooting brake at ₹1,56,80,000 (both ex-showroom). Reservations opened the same day, with a booking amount of ₹10 lakh for either car.

Checked on 13 November 2026. Every price and figure below comes from Denza's India launch announcement and the launch reports linked in Sources. Prices are Indian ex-showroom prices and can change — and both cars arrive as fully imported units, so always confirm availability and final on-road pricing with Denza before buying.

Denza D9 and Z9 GT: India prices

Two models, two very different jobs: the D9 is the chauffeur-driven luxury people-mover, the Z9 GT is the performance flagship.

Customers reserving either car get a complimentary 11 kW home charger with installation and six years of roadside assistance. Both cars carry a comprehensive warranty of six years or 1,50,000 km, and the high-voltage powertrain is covered for eight years or 1,60,000 km. Denza will sell through dedicated standalone showrooms in Gurugram, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Denza Z9 GT: 1,156 PS, 0–100 in 2.7 seconds

The Z9 GT is the performance flagship of Denza's India line-up. Its tri-motor electric all-wheel-drive system combines one front motor (230 kW) with two rear motors (310 kW each) for 850 kW — 1,156 PS — and 1,210 Nm of torque. Denza quotes 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 270 km/h.

Its 122.49 kWh second-generation Blade Battery gives a claimed range of up to 670 km on the NEDC cycle. The car supports 11 kW three-phase AC charging, regenerative braking and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), so its battery can power external appliances.

The party trick is BYD's e³ intelligent vehicle-control system, which manages each wheel independently. It enables a Crab Walk (moving diagonally), a 360° Compass Turn (rotating on the spot) and a Drift mode, with a minimum turning radius of just 5.35 metres. DiSus-A intelligent air suspension, double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension complete the chassis.

Inside, the five-seat Z9 GT has genuine leather upholstery, real wood trim, a 17.3-inch central touchscreen, a 13.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13.2-inch front passenger display and an augmented-reality head-up display. A 20-speaker Devialet sound system, onboard karaoke, massaging seats front and rear, a refrigerator, four-zone climate control and 50W wireless charging are all standard. Colours are Rime Gold, Obsidian Black and Fjord Green.

Denza D9: seven seats, massage chairs, 730 km range

The D9 takes the opposite approach: space, comfort and chauffeur-driven travel. The India-spec car is the front-wheel-drive Premium version, with a seven-seat 2+2+3 layout and power sliding rear doors.

The second row is where the luxury sits: two individual captain seats with 10-way electric adjustment, 10-point massage, heating, ventilation, memory and electrically adjustable leg rests, plus folding tables and a Boss Mode that slides the front passenger seat forward for more legroom. The third row gets four-way power adjustment and 40:60 split-folding seatbacks.

The India-spec D9 uses a front-mounted motor producing 340 kW and 365 Nm, with 0–100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. Its 115.07 kWh Blade Battery delivers a claimed 730 km of NEDC range, and Denza says it can charge from 10 to 97 percent in nine minutes on DC fast charging. Technology includes a 15.6-inch floating touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 16-speaker Devialet system, three-zone climate control, four 50W wireless charging positions and a refrigerator that heats and cools between −6°C and 50°C.

Deliveries and background

The D9 will be available for customer deliveries from launch. Denza has not specified a delivery schedule for the Z9 GT in its announcement. Both cars arrive in India as completely built units (CBUs) under the limited homologation exemption.

Denza was founded in 2010 as a partnership between BYD and Germany's Daimler, and is now wholly owned by BYD. Its design is led by Wolfgang Egger, and the brand's philosophy is "Technology Drives Elegance". Denza is also expanding into Europe during 2026. The D9 rivals the Toyota Vellfire, Lexus LM and MG M9 in India's luxury MPV market, while the Z9 GT is the only shooting brake on sale in India.
