Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On September 22, DENZA, a premium car brand under BYD, announced that its newly launched Z9GT model received over 5,000 fixed orders within just 36 hours of its market release.

Prices range from 334,800 yuan to 414,800 yuan.
The DENZA Z9GT's exterior design has been updated from the previous π-Motion to the new "Elegance in Motion" style. The front fascia features the "Solar Diadem" element paired with a black grille, creating a strong sporty aesthetic.
The side profile of the vehicle is accentuated by a sleek Z-shaped trim, with a long front hood, rear-shifted center of gravity, and an elegant stance that emphasizes its GT appeal. The Z9 GT also comes equipped with frameless doors, soft-closing electric doors, hidden door handles, and a logo-illuminated charging port. A compact streaming rearview mirror is available as an option.
The taillights, which adopt the design dubbed "Time Hourglass," offer a distinctive look when illuminated.
Inside, the DENZA Z9GT continues the luxurious theme with DENZA's latest family design language. The wraparound cockpit is complemented by extensive leather materials, creating a high-end feel. Other features include Devialet lift speakers, dual 50W wireless charging pads, hidden electric air vents, and a 128-color ambient lighting system with multiple themes. A 2.1-square-meter panoramic sunroof and segmented sunshades further enhance the comfort of the cabin.
In terms of intelligent driving, the DENZA Z9GT debuts the BAS 3.0+ superhuman driving assistance system. The system supports map-free high-speed navigation, urban navigation, automatic parking, and valet parking. Future updates will enable seamless toll station navigation, further improving the driving experience.
