Denza’s Z9GT, another model in the Z series, hit the market on September 20 at a starting price of RMB 334,800 yuan.
Denza, the premium brand from BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY), has revealed interior design sketches for the Z9, a sedan that is expected to go on sale next month.
Denza shared two design sketches on Weibo today, showing a rough look at the Z9’s interior, warming up for the model ahead of its official launch.
The Z9 features a center screen in landscape orientation with what appears to be another very long dashboard screen in front of the steering wheel, according to one of the sketches.
Two of its three rear seats have wide leg rests as one of the comfort features.
It’s unclear if the Z9’s final interior will match that of the design sketches.
Denza began pre-sales of the Z9GT, another model in the Z lineup, on August 20 with a pre-sale price range of RMB 339,800 ($47,890) to RMB 419,800
It then gave the model’s regular sedan version, the Z9, a brief debut and began pre-sales at the same prices. Denza said at the time that the Z9 would go on sale and begin deliveries in the fourth quarter of this year.
On October 24, Denza’s head of sales, Zhao Changjiang, said on Weibo that the company’s team was preparing for the Z9’s launch.
“We will announce the launch date as soon as possible based on the progress of the preparation, which is expected to be next month, so stay tuned,” Zhao said.
The Z9GT was officially launched on September 20 at a starting price of RMB 334,800 and is available in three plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variants and two battery electric vehicle (BEV) variants.
The Z9 entered a regulatory filing catalog in China on September 13, allowing the exterior and core specifications to be revealed.
The Denza Z9 has two pages in that filing, including a PHEV version and a BEV version.
It measures 5,220 mm in length, 1,990 mm in width and 1,500/1,518 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,125 mm.
Like the Denza Z9GT, the Z9 will be powered by three electric motors with peak power of 230 kW, 240 kW, and 240 kW, according to its filing information.
