What BYD has confirmed

The date is the only confirmed detail. Denza announced its India entry with an "Arriving soon" social media teaser showing its blue-and-silver hourglass logo, not a formal press release.

At the debut, BYD is expected to reveal the brand, its products and its retail strategy for India. The company has not yet disclosed pricing, booking details, a dealership network or the complete India line-up.

The two models expected first

Both expected models are electric and sit above the BYD range, particularly above the Rs 80 lakh mark. The Z9 GT is a four-door shooting brake built for performance. The D9 is a luxury MPV built to carry people.

The Z9 GT suits a buyer who wants outright pace. The D9 suits a buyer who wants a large electric people-carrier.

Expected prices

The D9 is expected at Rs 85-90 lakh ex-showroom. The Z9 GT is reported to be likely priced in the Rs 1.2 crore-1.5 crore range. Neither price is confirmed by BYD or Denza.

Ex-showroom prices leave out road tax, registration and insurance. Once official prices are out, you can work out the full figure with the IndiCar on-road price calculator.

Bookings and showrooms

No booking or delivery dates are announced. Denza showrooms are not expected to sit alongside BYD facilities, so the brand is likely to have its own retail setup, with details due at the debut.
