The vehicle was first launched in China on March 5th and then in Europe on April 9th. This delivery milestone comes just two and a half months after the vehicle first began reaching customers on March 13. The Z9 GT, which starts at 269,800 yuan (39,700 USD), is the world’s first mass-produced vehicle to feature BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery and flash-charging technology. The model is available in both pure electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) configurations, with pricing ranging up to 369,800 yuan (54,400 USD) in China. PerformanceThe vehicle’s rapid charging capabilities are a standout feature, largely attributed to the second-generation Blade Battery, which boasts an increased energy density of 190–210 Wh/kg, supported by a comprehensive thermal management system. In standard temperature conditions, the Z9 GT can charge from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes, and reach 97% in 9 minutes. In extreme cold – down to -30°C – charging from 20% to 97% takes 12 minutes. In terms of range, the pure electric version offers a maximum CLTC range of 1,036 km. The PHEV variant provides a pure electric range of 401 km and a combined range of 1,301 km. Denza celebrated the milestone on social media.
