Denza in Thailand
Canonical research doc. Source-of-truth for every Denza fact used by seed scripts, the brand page, and the AI advisor. Cite every claim inline. Mark
[unverified]rather than guess.Scope: BEV only. Denza in Thailand has a mixed BEV/PHEV lineup. As of May 2026, only the D9 (both Premium FWD and Performance AWD trims) is a pure BEV on sale in Thailand. The Z9 GT was confirmed for launch at Motor Show 2025 in DM-i PHEV form (not BEV); the N7, N9, B3, B5, B8 have been previewed at BIMS but are not yet on sale in TH (and where confirmed are either PHEV or undetermined). This document therefore focuses on the D9 EV as the only TH-market Denza BEV, with shorter "previewed / pipeline" sections covering the rumoured BEV models for context.
Range-standard hygiene (LOAD-BEARING). Denza publishes NEDC as the primary range figure in TH marketing (Chinese-OEM convention), with WLTP appearing in some launch press coverage (Paultan, Autolifethailand). EV-Database publishes separate WLTP estimates. Use WLTP where published; treat NEDC values as the China-market headline number and compute WLTP separately. Do not treat NEDC and WLTP as interchangeable — the D9 EV's NEDC range (600 km FWD / 580 km AWD) is ~15 % higher than its WLTP range (520 km FWD / 480 km AWD).
Brand history & positioning. Denza (Chinese: 腾势 Téngshì, "soaring momentum") was founded 2010 as a 50:50 joint venture between BYD Auto and Daimler AG (later Mercedes-Benz Group AG), headquartered in Shenzhen. The first JV vehicle was the original Denza 400/500 electric sedan (2014–2019), based on a previous-gen Mercedes B-Class. The JV failed commercially through the 2010s; Mercedes wrote down most of its stake in 2021 (reducing from 50 % to 10 %) and exited fully in 2024, transferring residual equity to BYD. As of 2026, Denza is wholly owned by BYD and operates as BYD's premium sub-brand — positioned above the mainstream BYD nameplates (Atto/Dolphin/Seal/Sealion) but below the new BYD ultra-luxury Yangwang sub-brand. The 2022-onwards Denza lineup (D9 MPV, N7 fastback, N8 SUV, Z9 sedan/shooting brake, N9 large SUV, B-series rugged SUVs) is entirely BYD-engineered on BYD platforms (e-Platform 3.0 / e-Platform 3.0 Evo / DM-i hybrid), with no remaining Mercedes technical involvement.
Distribution structure — Rêver Automotive. Denza Thailand shares its distributor with BYD Thailand: Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd., the wholly-owned (Sino-Thai joint) entity that has distributed BYD passenger vehicles in TH since 2022. Unlike Mercedes (which has long-standing third-party CKD via TAAP/Thonburi), the Rêver setup operates Denza as a separately-branded showroom network parallel to BYD outlets, with distinct dealer signage, aftersales identity, and customer journey designed to position Denza as premium-segment rather than mainstream. All Denza vehicles sold in Thailand as of May 2026 are CBU-imported from China (Shenzhen / Xi'an plants) — there is no CKD-TH Denza assembly.
At a glance
- Distributor model: Single Thai distributor (Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd.) — same legal entity as the BYD passenger-car distributor, but operated as a separately-branded sub-network with dedicated Denza showrooms and dealer signage. This mirrors the corporate parent relationship: BYD owns Denza, and BYD's Thai distributor naturally extended to cover the premium sub-brand. (Rêver Automotive launch press; CnEVPost — Denza enters Thailand)
- Entered Thailand: 2024-11-01 — official brand launch with the Denza D9 BEV MPV (Premium FWD ฿1,999,900 + Performance AWD ฿2,699,900, both CBU). Pre-bookings opened at BIMS 2024 (March 2024); commercial sales began November. Thailand was Denza's 4th Asia-Pacific market after Hong Kong, Cambodia, and Singapore — and the first ASEAN RHD market to receive a full Denza dealer network from launch day. (CarNewsChina — Denza Thailand launch; Paultan — D9 TH launch)
- First model launched: Denza D9 EV (2024-11-01). Imported from China only in BEV form for TH — the global D9 also offers a DM-i PHEV variant (40.06 kWh battery + 1.5T engine, combined range ~1,040 km NEDC), but the PHEV is not offered in Thailand. TH-spec D9 is pure-BEV only. (Wikipedia — Denza D9)
- Models on sale (BEV) as of May 2026: 1 nameplate — D9 EV (Premium FWD + Performance AWD, 2 BEV trims total). All CBU-imported from China.
- Models previewed but not yet on sale (BEV): N7 (D-segment electric fastback, previewed at BIMS 2025; no TH launch date confirmed as of May 2026). The N9 (large 3-row SUV) is on sale in China as a PHEV-only model (Blade Battery 230 km EV range + 2.0T engine) — no pure-BEV variant exists globally, so the N9 falls outside this doc's BEV scope. The Z9 GT was announced for TH launch at Motor Show 2025 but in DM-i PHEV form (not BEV) — also outside scope. (Paultan BIMS 2025 — N7 preview; AutoStation — Z9 GT DM-i Motor Show 2025; Motorist TH — N9 2026)
- Total BEV trims on sale (May 2026): 2 — D9 Premium FWD, D9 Performance AWD.
- Current BEV price band (May 2026): ฿1,949,900 (D9 Premium FWD, post-Motor Show 2026 promo / list ฿2,154,900) – ฿2,699,900 (D9 Performance AWD list / ฿2,399,900 promo).
- Showrooms (May 2026): 10 Denza-branded outlets —
3 in Bangkok (Sathu Pradit, New Phetchaburi Road, Srinakarin)
- 7 upcountry (Rayong, Chonburi, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Songkhla, Surat Thani, Phuket). Operated by various Rêver- appointed dealer groups including BD Auto Group (Phuket + Songkhla under "DENZA BD ULTIMATE" banner). (CnEVPost — 10 showrooms; DENZA BD Ultimate)
- Local plant: None. All Denza vehicles in TH are CBU-imported. (Rêver-distributed BYD vehicles are CKD-assembled at the BYD Rayong plant since 2024, but Denza-branded models remain CBU for the foreseeable future.)
- Warranty package: 8 years / 160,000 km vehicle + battery, 8 years / 150,000 km drivetrain — significantly longer than BMW (4 yr / unlimited km vehicle + 8 yr / 160,000 km battery) or Mercedes EQ. Matches the BYD warranty offered by Rêver across the BYD-branded lineup. (Autolifethailand — D9 launch warranty)
- 2024 sales (post-launch): [unverified] — Rêver Automotive does not publicly break out Denza unit sales separately from BYD totals; aggregate "Rêver Group" deliveries were reported at 90,000 NEV units in 2024 across both brands.
- 2025 sales: [unverified] — separate Denza figures not disclosed.
Denza occupies a distinctive position in Thailand's BEV market that differs structurally from both the mass-market Chinese brands (BYD own-brand / GWM / MG / Neta) and from the premium-European players (BMW / Mercedes / Volvo). Three things make Denza's TH story distinct. First, the D9's positioning as a premium electric MPV puts it in direct competition with the XPENG X9 (also CBU Chinese, ฿1.999–2.499 m TH band), Zeekr 009 (CBU, ฿2.5–3.0 m band), and MG Maxus 9 EV (฿1.799 m, Volvo-derived ICE base) — a four-way Chinese-MPV battleground that essentially didn't exist in Thailand before late 2024. Toyota Alphard / Vellfire ICE-hybrid (฿3.7–6.2 m) are the legacy incumbents being attacked. Second, Rêver Automotive's dual-brand operation (BYD + Denza under one legal distributor but separate showroom networks) is unusual — it mirrors what Geely Auto Thailand does with Geely + Zeekr + Volvo, but contrasts sharply with GAC (single distributor, single brand) or Tesla (direct subsidiary, single brand). Third, Denza Thailand is BEV-only so far (the D9 EV), while the broader Denza China portfolio is mostly PHEV (DM-i system in D9, N9, B5, B8, Z9 GT) — Thailand chose to launch the cleanest pure-BEV variant first, likely to align with Thailand's EV3.5 / EV3.0+ incentive scheme which favours BEVs over PHEVs.
The competitive context: the D9 EV at ฿1.99–2.69 m attacks the Chinese-MPV premium segment rather than the European-luxury band. Its 600 km NEDC / 520 km WLTP range (FWD) and 103.36 kWh Blade Battery put it ahead of the MG Maxus 9 (90 kWh, 540 km NEDC, ฿1.799 m) on both battery size and price. Against the XPENG X9 (110 kWh option, ~702 km CLTC, ฿1.999–2.499 m), the D9 trades slightly less range for a larger second-row "VIP" experience (captain's chairs with massage + ventilation + 7.5 L fridge on the Performance AWD). Against the Zeekr 009 (140 kWh top-spec, ~822 km CLTC, ฿2.5–3.0 m), the D9 is meaningfully cheaper but smaller-batteried. The D9 Performance AWD's 0–100 in 6.9 s (374 PS combined, 470 Nm) is class-leading for the segment.
Distribution & business
Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd. is a Sino-Thai distribution company founded 2022 as BYD Auto's exclusive Thai dealer entity, with Siam Motors Group family interests holding the local equity and BYD Auto providing the technology, vehicle supply, and brand direction. The company is headquartered in Bangkok and operates the BYD passenger-car CKD plant at Rayong (separate legal entity: BYD Manufacturing Thailand Co., Ltd.) in parallel with its distribution operation. (Rêver Automotive — corporate page)
In November 2024, Rêver was authorised by BYD parent to add Denza as a second brand to its Thai distribution portfolio, with the understanding that Denza would be operated as a separately-branded premium tier — distinct showrooms, distinct dealer agreements, distinct after-sales identity. The launch event on 2024-11-01 opened 5 showrooms simultaneously with the announcement, expanding to 10 showrooms by end of 2024 as planned.

Service centers
All Denza showrooms double as sales + service + parts outlets under the Rêver-mandated "3S" (Sales / Service / Spares) standard. There are no Denza service-only standalone facilities — the full network as of May 2026 is the 10 dealer outlets listed above.
Charging network partners
[unverified — Rêver Automotive does not publicly list Denza- specific charging partners separate from BYD-branded charging partnerships.] The Denza D9 supports standard Type 2 AC + CCS2 DC
connectors and integrates with the BYD app for routing through
common Thai public networks: EleX by EGAT, PEA Volta,
MEA EV, Sharge, EV Station PluZ (PTT Group), Chargenet.
Home wall-box: Rêver bundles a Denza-branded 7 kW AC home charger
free with Performance AWD purchases (free installation included);
Premium FWD customers receive only a portable charging cable
(Type 2 to domestic socket). (Autolifethailand — D9 launch promo)
Warranty terms (Denza Thailand standard)
- Vehicle warranty: 8 years / 160,000 km (whichever comes first). Substantially longer than BMW/Mercedes (4 yr / unlimited km).
- High-voltage battery warranty: 8 years / 160,000 km — same duration as the vehicle warranty, covering the Blade LFP pack.
- Drivetrain warranty: 8 years / 150,000 km (motors + inverters + reduction gear).
- Bodywork / paint:
[unverified — likely 2–3 years per BYD/Rêver standard]. - Roadside assistance:
[unverified — likely 8 years per Rêver BYD-brand standard]. - Home wallbox: Included free on Performance AWD only (with installation). Premium FWD: portable cable only, no wall-box.

D9 EV — premium electric MPV
Denza's flagship in Thailand and its only pure-BEV model on sale (May 2026). A 7-seat full-size MPV that competes directly with the XPENG X9, Zeekr 009, MG Maxus 9 EV and (positionally, on price) Toyota Alphard / Vellfire. Marketed for both chauffeur-driven business / family use (Performance AWD trim, emphasising second-row "VIP cockpit") and owner-driven family use (Premium FWD trim, less differentiated second-row).
Lineage & platform
- Generation: First generation D9 — global launch 2022-08 (China), in continuous production since.
- Platform: BYD e-Platform 3.0 (for the BEV variants). Shared with the BYD Sealion 7 / Seal Performance / Atto 3 in underpinning architecture, but with MPV-specific battery layout and rear-axle geometry.
- Architecture: 400 V — the D9 EV is not an 800 V
platform vehicle. (The newer Denza Z9 GT and N7 use the
e-Platform 3.0 Evo with 800 V architecture, but the D9
remains 400 V.)
[verify]— some Headlightmag launch coverage referred to "800-volt electrical system" but this is likely inaccurate / mis-translation of a Paultan piece; BYD official spec sheets list the D9 EV at 400 V. Treat as 400 V until confirmed otherwise. - Battery technology: BYD Blade Battery — Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, cell-to-pack design (no module layer). 103.36 kWh gross capacity. Cells manufactured by BYD's FinDreams Battery subsidiary in Shenzhen.
- Cell supplier: BYD (FinDreams Battery).
- Origin (TH): CBU-imported from China (Xi'an plant
[verify — BYD operates D9 production at Xi'an + Shenzhen]).

Denza in Thailand
Canonical research doc. Source-of-truth for every Denza fact used by seed scripts, the brand page, and the AI advisor. Cite every claim inline. Mark
[unverified]rather than guess.Scope: BEV only. Denza in Thailand has a mixed BEV/PHEV lineup. As of May 2026, only the D9 (both Premium FWD and Performance AWD trims) is a pure BEV on sale in Thailand. The Z9 GT was confirmed for launch at Motor Show 2025 in DM-i PHEV form (not BEV); the N7, N9, B3, B5, B8 have been previewed at BIMS but are not yet on sale in TH (and where confirmed are either PHEV or undetermined). This document therefore focuses on the D9 EV as the only TH-market Denza BEV, with shorter "previewed / pipeline" sections covering the rumoured BEV models for context.
Range-standard hygiene (LOAD-BEARING). Denza publishes NEDC as the primary range figure in TH marketing (Chinese-OEM convention), with WLTP appearing in some launch press coverage (Paultan, Autolifethailand). EV-Database publishes separate WLTP estimates. Use WLTP where published; treat NEDC values as the China-market headline number and compute WLTP separately. Do not treat NEDC and WLTP as interchangeable — the D9 EV's NEDC range (600 km FWD / 580 km AWD) is ~15 % higher than its WLTP range (520 km FWD / 480 km AWD).
Brand history & positioning. Denza (Chinese: 腾势 Téngshì, "soaring momentum") was founded 2010 as a 50:50 joint venture between BYD Auto and Daimler AG (later Mercedes-Benz Group AG), headquartered in Shenzhen. The first JV vehicle was the original Denza 400/500 electric sedan (2014–2019), based on a previous-gen Mercedes B-Class. The JV failed commercially through the 2010s; Mercedes wrote down most of its stake in 2021 (reducing from 50 % to 10 %) and exited fully in 2024, transferring residual equity to BYD. As of 2026, Denza is wholly owned by BYD and operates as BYD's premium sub-brand — positioned above the mainstream BYD nameplates (Atto/Dolphin/Seal/Sealion) but below the new BYD ultra-luxury Yangwang sub-brand. The 2022-onwards Denza lineup (D9 MPV, N7 fastback, N8 SUV, Z9 sedan/shooting brake, N9 large SUV, B-series rugged SUVs) is entirely BYD-engineered on BYD platforms (e-Platform 3.0 / e-Platform 3.0 Evo / DM-i hybrid), with no remaining Mercedes technical involvement.
Distribution structure — Rêver Automotive. Denza Thailand shares its distributor with BYD Thailand: Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd., the wholly-owned (Sino-Thai joint) entity that has distributed BYD passenger vehicles in TH since 2022. Unlike Mercedes (which has long-standing third-party CKD via TAAP/Thonburi), the Rêver setup operates Denza as a separately-branded showroom network parallel to BYD outlets, with distinct dealer signage, aftersales identity, and customer journey designed to position Denza as premium-segment rather than mainstream. All Denza vehicles sold in Thailand as of May 2026 are CBU-imported from China (Shenzhen / Xi'an plants) — there is no CKD-TH Denza assembly.
At a glance
- Distributor model: Single Thai distributor (Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd.) — same legal entity as the BYD passenger-car distributor, but operated as a separately-branded sub-network with dedicated Denza showrooms and dealer signage. This mirrors the corporate parent relationship: BYD owns Denza, and BYD's Thai distributor naturally extended to cover the premium sub-brand. (Rêver Automotive launch press; CnEVPost — Denza enters Thailand)
- Entered Thailand: 2024-11-01 — official brand launch with the Denza D9 BEV MPV (Premium FWD ฿1,999,900 + Performance AWD ฿2,699,900, both CBU). Pre-bookings opened at BIMS 2024 (March 2024); commercial sales began November. Thailand was Denza's 4th Asia-Pacific market after Hong Kong, Cambodia, and Singapore — and the first ASEAN RHD market to receive a full Denza dealer network from launch day. (CarNewsChina — Denza Thailand launch; Paultan — D9 TH launch)
- First model launched: Denza D9 EV (2024-11-01). Imported from China only in BEV form for TH — the global D9 also offers a DM-i PHEV variant (40.06 kWh battery + 1.5T engine, combined range ~1,040 km NEDC), but the PHEV is not offered in Thailand. TH-spec D9 is pure-BEV only. (Wikipedia — Denza D9)
- Models on sale (BEV) as of May 2026: 1 nameplate — D9 EV (Premium FWD + Performance AWD, 2 BEV trims total). All CBU-imported from China.
- Models previewed but not yet on sale (BEV): N7 (D-segment electric fastback, previewed at BIMS 2025; no TH launch date confirmed as of May 2026). The N9 (large 3-row SUV) is on sale in China as a PHEV-only model (Blade Battery 230 km EV range + 2.0T engine) — no pure-BEV variant exists globally, so the N9 falls outside this doc's BEV scope. The Z9 GT was announced for TH launch at Motor Show 2025 but in DM-i PHEV form (not BEV) — also outside scope. (Paultan BIMS 2025 — N7 preview; AutoStation — Z9 GT DM-i Motor Show 2025; Motorist TH — N9 2026)
- Total BEV trims on sale (May 2026): 2 — D9 Premium FWD, D9 Performance AWD.
- Current BEV price band (May 2026): ฿1,949,900 (D9 Premium FWD, post-Motor Show 2026 promo / list ฿2,154,900) – ฿2,699,900 (D9 Performance AWD list / ฿2,399,900 promo).
- Showrooms (May 2026): 10 Denza-branded outlets —
3 in Bangkok (Sathu Pradit, New Phetchaburi Road, Srinakarin)
- 7 upcountry (Rayong, Chonburi, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Songkhla, Surat Thani, Phuket). Operated by various Rêver- appointed dealer groups including BD Auto Group (Phuket + Songkhla under "DENZA BD ULTIMATE" banner). (CnEVPost — 10 showrooms; DENZA BD Ultimate)
- Local plant: None. All Denza vehicles in TH are CBU-imported. (Rêver-distributed BYD vehicles are CKD-assembled at the BYD Rayong plant since 2024, but Denza-branded models remain CBU for the foreseeable future.)
- Warranty package: 8 years / 160,000 km vehicle + battery, 8 years / 150,000 km drivetrain — significantly longer than BMW (4 yr / unlimited km vehicle + 8 yr / 160,000 km battery) or Mercedes EQ. Matches the BYD warranty offered by Rêver across the BYD-branded lineup. (Autolifethailand — D9 launch warranty)
- 2024 sales (post-launch): [unverified] — Rêver Automotive does not publicly break out Denza unit sales separately from BYD totals; aggregate "Rêver Group" deliveries were reported at 90,000 NEV units in 2024 across both brands.
- 2025 sales: [unverified] — separate Denza figures not disclosed.
Denza occupies a distinctive position in Thailand's BEV market that differs structurally from both the mass-market Chinese brands (BYD own-brand / GWM / MG / Neta) and from the premium-European players (BMW / Mercedes / Volvo). Three things make Denza's TH story distinct. First, the D9's positioning as a premium electric MPV puts it in direct competition with the XPENG X9 (also CBU Chinese, ฿1.999–2.499 m TH band), Zeekr 009 (CBU, ฿2.5–3.0 m band), and MG Maxus 9 EV (฿1.799 m, Volvo-derived ICE base) — a four-way Chinese-MPV battleground that essentially didn't exist in Thailand before late 2024. Toyota Alphard / Vellfire ICE-hybrid (฿3.7–6.2 m) are the legacy incumbents being attacked. Second, Rêver Automotive's dual-brand operation (BYD + Denza under one legal distributor but separate showroom networks) is unusual — it mirrors what Geely Auto Thailand does with Geely + Zeekr + Volvo, but contrasts sharply with GAC (single distributor, single brand) or Tesla (direct subsidiary, single brand). Third, Denza Thailand is BEV-only so far (the D9 EV), while the broader Denza China portfolio is mostly PHEV (DM-i system in D9, N9, B5, B8, Z9 GT) — Thailand chose to launch the cleanest pure-BEV variant first, likely to align with Thailand's EV3.5 / EV3.0+ incentive scheme which favours BEVs over PHEVs.
The competitive context: the D9 EV at ฿1.99–2.69 m attacks the Chinese-MPV premium segment rather than the European-luxury band. Its 600 km NEDC / 520 km WLTP range (FWD) and 103.36 kWh Blade Battery put it ahead of the MG Maxus 9 (90 kWh, 540 km NEDC, ฿1.799 m) on both battery size and price. Against the XPENG X9 (110 kWh option, ~702 km CLTC, ฿1.999–2.499 m), the D9 trades slightly less range for a larger second-row "VIP" experience (captain's chairs with massage + ventilation + 7.5 L fridge on the Performance AWD). Against the Zeekr 009 (140 kWh top-spec, ~822 km CLTC, ฿2.5–3.0 m), the D9 is meaningfully cheaper but smaller-batteried. The D9 Performance AWD's 0–100 in 6.9 s (374 PS combined, 470 Nm) is class-leading for the segment.
Distribution & business
Rêver Automotive Co., Ltd. is a Sino-Thai distribution company founded 2022 as BYD Auto's exclusive Thai dealer entity, with Siam Motors Group family interests holding the local equity and BYD Auto providing the technology, vehicle supply, and brand direction. The company is headquartered in Bangkok and operates the BYD passenger-car CKD plant at Rayong (separate legal entity: BYD Manufacturing Thailand Co., Ltd.) in parallel with its distribution operation. (Rêver Automotive — corporate page)
In November 2024, Rêver was authorised by BYD parent to add Denza as a second brand to its Thai distribution portfolio, with the understanding that Denza would be operated as a separately-branded premium tier — distinct showrooms, distinct dealer agreements, distinct after-sales identity. The launch event on 2024-11-01 opened 5 showrooms simultaneously with the announcement, expanding to 10 showrooms by end of 2024 as planned.

Service centers
All Denza showrooms double as sales + service + parts outlets under the Rêver-mandated "3S" (Sales / Service / Spares) standard. There are no Denza service-only standalone facilities — the full network as of May 2026 is the 10 dealer outlets listed above.
Charging network partners
[unverified — Rêver Automotive does not publicly list Denza- specific charging partners separate from BYD-branded charging partnerships.] The Denza D9 supports standard Type 2 AC + CCS2 DC
connectors and integrates with the BYD app for routing through
common Thai public networks: EleX by EGAT, PEA Volta,
MEA EV, Sharge, EV Station PluZ (PTT Group), Chargenet.
Home wall-box: Rêver bundles a Denza-branded 7 kW AC home charger
free with Performance AWD purchases (free installation included);
Premium FWD customers receive only a portable charging cable
(Type 2 to domestic socket). (Autolifethailand — D9 launch promo)
Warranty terms (Denza Thailand standard)
- Vehicle warranty: 8 years / 160,000 km (whichever comes first). Substantially longer than BMW/Mercedes (4 yr / unlimited km).
- High-voltage battery warranty: 8 years / 160,000 km — same duration as the vehicle warranty, covering the Blade LFP pack.
- Drivetrain warranty: 8 years / 150,000 km (motors + inverters + reduction gear).
- Bodywork / paint:
[unverified — likely 2–3 years per BYD/Rêver standard]. - Roadside assistance:
[unverified — likely 8 years per Rêver BYD-brand standard]. - Home wallbox: Included free on Performance AWD only (with installation). Premium FWD: portable cable only, no wall-box.

D9 EV — premium electric MPV
Denza's flagship in Thailand and its only pure-BEV model on sale (May 2026). A 7-seat full-size MPV that competes directly with the XPENG X9, Zeekr 009, MG Maxus 9 EV and (positionally, on price) Toyota Alphard / Vellfire. Marketed for both chauffeur-driven business / family use (Performance AWD trim, emphasising second-row "VIP cockpit") and owner-driven family use (Premium FWD trim, less differentiated second-row).
Lineage & platform
- Generation: First generation D9 — global launch 2022-08 (China), in continuous production since.
- Platform: BYD e-Platform 3.0 (for the BEV variants). Shared with the BYD Sealion 7 / Seal Performance / Atto 3 in underpinning architecture, but with MPV-specific battery layout and rear-axle geometry.
- Architecture: 400 V — the D9 EV is not an 800 V
platform vehicle. (The newer Denza Z9 GT and N7 use the
e-Platform 3.0 Evo with 800 V architecture, but the D9
remains 400 V.)
[verify]— some Headlightmag launch coverage referred to "800-volt electrical system" but this is likely inaccurate / mis-translation of a Paultan piece; BYD official spec sheets list the D9 EV at 400 V. Treat as 400 V until confirmed otherwise. - Battery technology: BYD Blade Battery — Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, cell-to-pack design (no module layer). 103.36 kWh gross capacity. Cells manufactured by BYD's FinDreams Battery subsidiary in Shenzhen.
- Cell supplier: BYD (FinDreams Battery).
- Origin (TH): CBU-imported from China (Xi'an plant
[verify — BYD operates D9 production at Xi'an + Shenzhen]).
