The highly anticipated Z9 will make its debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 15, with a limited-time starting price of 334,800 yuan (approximately 47,100 USD). Positioned as a flagship luxury model alongside the Z9 GT wagon, the Denza Z9 will be available in fully electric and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants.
The Z9 will be offered in four stunning body colors – starry black, starlight gray, midnight purple, and moonlit beige – as well as two interior schemes in beige and brown. With a substantial 5.2-meter body and a 3,125 mm wheelbase, the Z9 boasts a stretched and streamlined profile, enhanced by chrome-plated, multi-spoke rims for a touch of sophistication. Its front and rear styling feature elements such as a continuous bonnet line, slanted A-pillars, and a large diffuser at the back.
Denza will provide the Z9 in both PHEV and BEV configurations.
