KATHMANDU: BYD’s premium automotive brand Denza is set to make its debut in India on November 13, 2026. The launch will also reveal the brand’s product lineup and retail strategy for the Indian market.
The Denza D9 luxury MPV is expected to be the brand’s first offering in India. The company is also likely to showcase the Z9GT electric performance car at the launch event.
The Denza D9 is a seven-seater luxury MPV available globally in fully electric and plug-in hybrid versions. However, the fully electric variant is expected to arrive in India first.
The D9 EV features a 103.6 kWh battery pack with a claimed range of up to 600 km under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC).
Its dual-motor setup produces 369 BHP of power. The electric MPV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 6.9 seconds.
The Denza D9 is expected to carry an ex-showroom price of 8.5 million Indian rupees to 9 million Indian rupees in India. It will compete with models such as the MG M9, Kia Carnival, Toyota Vellfire, Lexus LM, and Mercedes-Benz V-Class.
The Denza Z9GT is another model expected to be showcased at the Indian debut. It features a shooting brake design and a high-performance electric powertrain producing more than 1,000 BHP.
The Z9GT is designed to combine performance with premium styling and advanced electric vehicle technology.
Denza’s entry into India will expand BYD’s presence in the premium vehicle segment. The brand is already available in Nepal through authorized distributor Cimex Inc.
