BYD's luxury brand Denza has officially launched the flagship Z9 GT all-electric shooting brake in India, introducing a high-performance grand tourer to the domestic luxury EV market.
Guided by the design and engineering philosophy of Technology Drives Elegance, the Denza Z9 GT blends supercar-rivalling acceleration with handcrafted cabin luxury and advanced chassis control.
The India-spec Denza Z9 GT has been launched in India at ₹1.56 crore (ex-showroom). Imported as a flagship luxury grand tourer, the Z9 GT sits in a segment of its own in the country.
Built around Golden Ratio proportions, the newly launched Denza Z9 GT features an elongated shooting brake silhouette measuring 5,180 mm in length, 1,990 mm in width, and 1,490 mm in height, riding on a long 3,125 mm wheelbase.
Key exterior highlights include Dual Line front LED headlights, a sculpted dual tail wing at the rear, soft-closing doors, a smart projection tailgate, and Meteor welcome puddle lamps. The grand tourer rides on 20-inch alloy wheels shod with staggered 255/45 R20 front and 275/40 R20 rear tyres, and is offered in three exterior paint shades: Fjord Green, Rime Gold, and Obsidian Black.
Inside, the cabin is crafted with genuine leather upholstery, natural wood veneer panels, and a knitted velvet roof lining, available in three interior colour themes: Dark Chocolate with Perg Beige, Dark Chocolate with Red Velvet, and Full Black featuring suede seats with yellow stitching.
Dashboard tech is anchored by a multi-screen layout that includes a 13.2-inch 2.5K front passenger touchscreen alongside a 20-speaker Devialet premium audio system and NFC digital key access. Comfort equipment includes a driver seat with a dynamic bolster system, power-adjustable rear outer seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, dual 50W ventilated wireless smartphone chargers, and a dual-temperature in-cabin mini fridge capable of cooling to minus 6 degrees Celsius or warming up to 50 degrees Celsius.
Powering the India-spec Denza Z9 GT is a 122.4 kWh second-generation Blade Battery paired with a tri-motor intelligent all-wheel-drive setup generating 1,140 bhp (850 kW) and 1,210 Nm of peak torque. This powertrain launches the grand tourer from 0 to 100 kmph in 2.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 270 km/h, while delivering a claimed NEDC driving range of 670 km on a single charge.

Structural safety and handling precision on the India-spec Denza Z9 GT are underpinned by the advanced e3 Platform featuring Cell-to-Body (CTB) integration and BYD's second-generation Blade Battery for enhanced torsional rigidity and crash protection. Ride quality and agility are managed by DiSus-A Intelligent Dual Chamber Air Suspension, which continuously adjusts ride height and damping.
Furthermore, independent rear-wheel steering with up to 8.5 degrees of articulation enables Crab Walk sideways movement, a 360-degree Pencil Compass Turn, e3 Parking Assist, and a tight 5.35-metre turning radius.
