The Denza B8 has been sighted on a transporter truck in Malaysia, as seen in these images provided by paultan.org reader Remy Chan ahead of the SUV’s launch set for May 21. Registration of interest (ROI) for the B8, a plug-in hybrid, three-row SUV opened last month on the Denza Malaysia website, and this model will be the brand’s second model in Malaysia after the D9 MPV that was launched locally in February 2025. The B8 is essentially a renamed Bao 8 from BYD off-roader sub-brand Fangchengbao, which was launched in China in November 2024. Using body-on-frame construction, the B8 offers six or seven seats in its three-row configuration, while its DMO (Dual Mode Off-road) powertrain is comprised of two electric motors, one on each axle, rated at 272 PS and 360 Nm in front and 408 PS and 400 Nm at the rear. These work with a hybrid-specific 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine producing 197 PS (145 kW) and 350 Nm. Combined, the total system output of the B8 is 578 PS (425 kW) and 760 Nm, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.8 seconds. Supplying the electric drive motors in the B8 is a 36.8 kWh Blade battery which offers 115 km of range on the Chinese CLTC test cycle (around 100 km WLTP), while its 91 litre fuel tank – in combination with the drive battery – brings a claimed 905 km of range combined. Charging of the battery in the Denza B8 is supported at up to 120 kW DC, in addition to AC charging at up to 11 kW. Conversely, vehicle-to-load (V2L) supply is rated at up to 6.6 kW. The manufacturer’s DiSus-P hydraulic suspension brings 140 mm of ride height adjustment, enabling the standard water wading depth of 800 mm to be increased to 890 mm, while approach and departure angles can be increased to 34 degrees and 35 degrees, respectively. Prior information from Denza Malaysia has revealed that the B8 will get cabin upholstery in Jasper Brown or Onyx Black, with a 12.3-inch instrument display and a 17.3-inch infotainment touchscreen unit, as well as a head-up display. Also on are twin 50-watt Qi wireless chargers, heated and cooled armrest storage (basically a fridge) and power-adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation and massage functions, plus an 18-speaker Devialet audio system. More on the Denza B8, here. At 5,195 mm long, 1,994 mm wide and 1,905 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,920 mm, the Denza B8 is larger than the the GWM Tank 500, which is 5,078 mm long, 1,934 mm wide and 1,905 mm tall with a 2,850 mm wheelbase. The Denza B8 is likely to breach the RM300k mark, perhaps even the RM328,800 tag of the Tank 500. How much do you think this will be priced at launch?
