this car sold over 10k last month in china

I'm really disappointed that MPV's have died out in the UK. I love the practicality of a well designed MPV and their physical size makes them the perfect candidate for an EV powertrain.

What's Toyota's most efficient EV? The new bZ3 sedan. Why is it so much better than the bZ4X? Well the bZ3 uses the battery and drivetrain made by ... BYD.

Amazing mpv❤

The extra hidden electric compartment ,in the house ,is why the front storage is shallow

You just got yourself a sub! Awesome job!

My friend just bought one, and I tried it. The HUD is so distracting with the black shadow on the window. So I might choose the 380,000 model without the HUD

If they could soften that grille up some, I think that would be a very nice MPV. As it sits though they may as well stick a screen there that you can use to modify the grille appearance. Like the dials on a samsung watch.

We need more MPVs

Guess which car is Denza D9's direct competitor in China? Zeekr 009 (BEV)? Toyota Alphard? GAC Trumpchi GL8? If your answer is another MPV, you are wrong. It's Li Auto's L9, a 3-row 6-seat plug-in hybrid SUV. Most Chinese people don't care whether it is a MPV or a SUV. They just want a car that is large enough to hold a whole family (6 or 7 seats), can drive smoothly (plug-in vehicles, including BEVs and PHEVs), and has luxurious interior (big screen, refrigerator, etc.)

@tren133

Жыл бұрын

It is actually Buick GL8 and GAC Trumpchi M8. And while there is some overlap between the MPV and the 3 row Li Auto, there is a significant customer base that only looks to the MPVs in the Chinese market. The Li L9 is predominantly sold as a luxury 3 row family car, but MPV's like the GL8, D9, 009, Alphard, M8, Dreamer, are more like 50/50 family/corporate. Very few L9's will be chauffeur driven, but many MPVs are. That's also why the top trim versions of the MPVs have those first class airliner seats, individual screens, and WEBCAMS, so the second row passenger can conduct business in those vehicles, versus the L9 which has a giant ceiling mounted rear screen which is for entertainment only.

@tren133

Жыл бұрын

BYD seems to have large plans for Denza actually, which is why they upped their stake to 90%. Denza is supposed to have a FULL spectrum of luxury vehicles, spelling out its name. So far we've only had D series MPVs and the just revealed N series crossovers, but they are suppose to have E, Z, and A models coming too. So a sedan, a sports car, and maybe full size SUV? BYD is jumping straight from making cheap cars to having Denza luxury, Yangwang high end luxury, and also an offroad "F-brand". Meanwhile they are also showing to the public their high end tech this year too, including the Yisifang 4 motor drivetrain, the Yunnian fully independent active 4 wheel suspension (which they dropped today), and presumably a brand new autonomous driving suite coming soon (since the Denza N7 was revealed with integrated lidar). I don't know how BYD is able to marshall enough engineering resources to work on all these things simultaneously, but they are going full speed ahead with it all.

D9 only cost 60k to 70k usd with more functionality and luxury equipments compared with Alphard . Nowadays Chinese manufacture is much more better than before. Why pay more, pay less!
