The appearance is largely the same as the current model on sale and still has a seven-seat layout, except for a lidar installed on the roof, indicating an improvement in intelligent driving characteristics. The signature grille, headlight and chrome embellishments in large-scale or waterfall style are retained while the new Denza D9 rides on newly designed 18-inch multi-spoke aluminum wheels. The “BYD DM-i AWD” logo has been added to the rear, highlighting the power system upgrade of the new Denza D9. The length, width and height are 5250/1960/1900 mm and the wheelbase is 3110 mm, which is 20 mm shorter.
Power comes from BYD’s fifth-generation DM-i plug-in hybrid system, which consists of a 1.5T engine and electric motors. The maximum power of the engine is 115 kW (154 hp) and the top speed is 190 km/h. There will be both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options available for consumers to choose from. The front engine has a maximum power of 272 hp, while the rear engine produces 122 hp. In addition, the 39.938 kWh battery pack offers two pure electric ranges of 145 km and 155 km, corresponding to fuel consumption of 7.15 l/100 km and 6.65 l/100 km respectively.

For reference, the 2024 Denza D9 offers DM-i plug-in hybrid and pure electric variants. The plug-in hybrid variant has a purely electric CLTC range of 200 km and an extended range of 1,050 km.
Judging from the spy shot of the interior, the cockpit also continues the layout of the current model. The D-shaped steering wheel, small LCD instrument cluster and large central control screen are all retained, but the design of the gears has changed.
From December 2 to 15, the Denza D9 sold 3,580 units in China, ranking second behind the Voyah Dreamer, which sold 3,674 units.
