First mass-produced Denza N9 from BYD rolled off the production line before the launch
The first mass-produced Denza N9 full-size SUV with over 1,000 hp rolled off the production line in China. The BYD’s crossover will enter the Chinese market in March this year. Later, the Denza N9 will enter Europe and Central Asia.
Denza is a high-end brand under the world’s biggest NEV maker, BYD. Its current model line comprises the Denza N7 crossover, Denza Z9 sedan, Denza Z9 GT estate, and Denza D9 minivan. Last year, Denza sold 125,647 units in China, according to China EV DataTracker. In February, BYD launched the mass production of its flagship model, the Denza N9 crossover. It will start sales in China next month.
Denza N9 mass production
BYD started the mass production of the Denza N9 SUV with a PHEV variant. The all-electric variant of this SUV will enter production later. Official photos show that BYD launched the mass production of the N9 on a large scale. These large SUVs are rolling off at least three lines. Each line seems to be dedicated to a specific body color: black, green, and blue.
Denza officials announced that N9 SUVs had already reached showrooms across China. The Denza N9 crossover will enter the Chinese market in March this year with an estimated price of around 500,000 yuan (68,600 USD). Later, this model will enter Europe and Central Asia. It was officially confirmed that the Denza N9 will enter Kazakhstan alongside Fang Cheng Bao Bao 5 and Bao 8 sturdy off-roaders.
