Denza has officially teased the Z9 GT, an electric shooting brake, ahead of the brand's India debut on November 13, 2026. No price has been announced, and the launch date has not been confirmed. Denza is BYD's luxury brand, but BYD has not issued an India press release about it.
What the teaser shows
The teaser shows the Z9 GT's lighting and its digital instrument cluster. The Z9 GT is one of Denza's first two models for India. The other is the D9 MPV.
The Z9 GT is expected to come in as a CBU, a fully imported car. Rear-wheel steering, Level 2+ ADAS, and heated, cooled and massaging seats are also expected.
Expected powertrain and charging
The India-bound car is expected to use three electric motors: one at the front and two at the rear. Most reports put the combined output at 1,156hp. One report gives 1,140hp, so treat the exact figure as unconfirmed until launch.
| Specification | Expected figure |
|---|---|
| Motors | Three (one front, two rear) |
| Combined output | 1,156hp |
| Battery | 122.5kWh |
| Claimed WLTP range | 600km |
| Claimed 0-100 km/h | 2.7 seconds |
| Top speed | 270kph |
| Fast charging | 10 to 97 percent in 9 minutes on BYD's 1,500kW Flash charger |
The charging figure is the Z9 GT's headline number. It applies only on BYD's 1,500kW Flash charger.
Expected price and launch timing
Price estimates vary. One report expects about Rs 1.25 crore. Another expects an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.2 crore to Rs 1.5 crore. Denza models overall are expected to start from around Rs 80 lakh, so the D9 MPV may be the cheaper way into the brand.
Launch timing is also unsettled. One expectation is that both the Z9 GT and the D9 launch by the end of 2026. Another points to 2027 for the Z9 GT. November 13, 2026 is the brand's debut, and that date is not confirmed as the start of sales.
Our view: wait for Denza's own price and specifications before treating any of these figures as firm. Until then, you can browse all new cars with on-road prices, or work out what a car will cost on the road with the on-road price calculator.
