Denza D9 and Z9 GT launch in India at ₹90 lakh and ₹1,56,80,000

BYD’s luxury brand Denza launched the D9 and Z9 GT in India on 13 November 2026. The seven-seat D9 electric MPV costs ₹90 lakh, while the five-seat Z9 GT electric shooting brake costs ₹1,56,80,000. Both are fully built imports and prices are ex-showroom. Bookings opened at ₹10 lakh for either model, with Denza starting retail operations in six cities.

Denza D9 vs Z9 GT at a glance

D9 for three-row comfort, Z9 GT for performance

The D9’s 2+2+3 layout puts two individual chairs in the second row. Powered sliding doors and second-row ottomans suit chauffeured use. With seven seats and a 5.25-metre body, it is worth testing third-row access, whether bags fit with all seats in use, and whether the sliding doors and tailgate work comfortably in your parking space.

The Z9 GT costs ₹66.8 lakh more ex-showroom. The three-motor system produces a claimed 1,156 PS, and Denza claims a 2.7-second sprint to 100 km/h. Its shooting-brake body combines a low driving position with a rear hatch. Buyers comparing it with a luxury sedan or SUV should check rear headroom, luggage access and ground clearance on the routes they drive.

Charging and dealer access in India

The published range figures use the NEDC test cycle. Motorway speeds, air-conditioning, temperature and load will affect the range buyers get. The quoted nine-minute 10–97% charging time depends on compatible high-power equipment. For routine use, both support up to 11 kW AC charging. Ask which home charger is included, what electrical work it needs and where compatible public chargers are available locally.

The initial showroom cities are Gurugram, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. Before putting down the booking amount, ask about refund terms, service coverage, parts lead times and the written warranty for your chosen model. If you live outside those cities, ask specifically where a battery or drive-system fault would be diagnosed.
