BYD puts Europe on watch with the new Denza Z9 GT EV BYD’s luxury sub-brand Denza revealed the new Z9 GT last month, deeming it “the world’s longest pure electric driving range vehicle.” Thanks to BYD’s new Blade Battery 2.0 and Flash Charging technology, the all-electric shooting brake can drive up to 1,036 km (644 miles) under CTLC conditions, and it can even recharge from 10% to 70% in just 5 minutes. Measuring 5,195 mm long, 1,990 mm wide, and 1,480 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3,125 mm, the Denza Z9 GT is about the size of the Porsche Panamera or Taycan.

The single-motor variant features a rear-mounted electric motor with 370 kW (496 hp), while the tri-motor model delivers a combined 850 kW (1,140 hp). Now, BYD’s luxury EV is headed to Europe. BYD announced plans to launch the Denza Z9 GT on April 8, 2026, bringing its 5-minute Flash Charging system with it. BYD even recruited Daniel Craig, James Bond himself, to promote the new premium EV. Denza said the Z9 GT will set “a new benchmark for luxury in Europe, creating a new milestone.” Powered by its 122 kWh Blade Battery, the Denza Z9 GT will offer up to 800 km (497 miles) of WLTP range in the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variant. The triple-motor version packs over 960 PS, enabling a 0 to 100 km/h time of less than 3 seconds.

The Z9GT represents the true spirit of DENZA — where advanced technology, beautiful design and emotional driving come together,” BYD’s executive vice president Stella Li said. Li added that the luxury EV is “the perfect choice to introduce the principle of ‘Ready in 5, Full in 9, Cold Add 3’ to the world, as we start our global rollout of FLASH Charging in Europe.” Top comment by Brian Peterson Liked by 32 people Here we are in the US, hunkering down with our tariffs, keeping the real competition out, rolling back efficiency standards, and putting upward pressure on the price of oil.We are rapidly squandering our competitive advantages….with the “upsides” of inflationary pressure and degraded health.It reminds me of the old cigarettes with asbestos filters, expect this time we know the hazards, the costs, and the solutions.I’m not sure which is worse.
