New luxury model Denza Z9 GT to appear in the Indian market next month

BYD plans to bring its premium brand Denza to the Indian market. The official launch of Denza in India is scheduled for November 13. The company has already released a teaser of its upcoming vehicle, which showcased the taillights and digital instrument cluster.

It is anticipated that the company may enter the Indian market with two models. One of them could be the Denza Z9 GT, about which information has previously been received. The Denza Z9 GT is positioned as a high-performance premium electric vehicle.

On the global market, this car is available in both an EV and a plug-in hybrid version. However, in the Indian market, the company may present it exclusively in the electric variant. This model is equipped with three motors: one located at the front and two at the rear, providing a power output of 1156 hp.

The car is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.7 seconds, and its top speed reaches 270 kilometers per hour. Regarding range, the Denza Z9 GT meets standard EV requirements, offering a claimed range of 600 kilometers.

Furthermore, the car supports ultra-fast charging with a power of 1500 kW. Thanks to this feature, the 122.5 kWh battery can charge from 10% to 97% in just 9 minutes. The system automatically stops charging at 97% to extend the battery's lifespan.

Given these characteristics, buyers should be prepared for higher expenses, as it will be presented in the luxury segment. The price range for Denza will start where BYD's offerings end, meaning the brand's vehicles will cost over 80 lakh rupees. Specifically, the Denza Z9 GT may cost between 1.2 and 1.5 crore rupees.

VinFast is demonstrating strong results in the Indian market, surpassing other automotive companies that require years to understand and gain momentum in this market. VinFast managed to quickly establish a presence in India just a few months after its launch.

The company is currently preparing to introduce a new car model in India. VinFast has filed a design patent application for the VF 5 Facelift model, which provides insight into the vehicle's exterior. Although filing a patent does not guarantee an immediate sales launch, there is speculation that the company may release the most affordable model from its range in India.

Patent details include updated headlights, a new hood, redesigned rear LED lights, and a fresh bumper. Earlier reports suggested that the company was considering launching the VF 5 in India, and there is a possibility that this launch will happen soon.

The VinFast VF 5 Facelift model was spotted in Vietnam in September 2026 without camouflage. The design presented in the recently filed patent largely corresponds to the design of the vehicle spotted in Vietnam. This car will be equipped with slim headlights positioned lower than on the current VF 5 model available globally.

To give the SUV a modern and sporty look, the lower part of the bumper is finished in black, and the vehicle may be equipped with 16-inch wheels. The rear will feature massive LED lights. Behind-the-scenes photos show the presence of a large multimedia touchscreen mounted separately from the body. The car will be fitted with a two-spoke steering wheel, although information about the driver's dashboard is unavailable.

In Indonesia, the VF 5 electric vehicle comes with a 29.6 kWh battery and a front motor mounted on the axle. This motor generates 90 hp and 135 Nm of torque, with a claimed range of 268 kilometers. In other countries, this vehicle is available with a 37.23 kWh battery option, providing a claimed range of 326 kilometers.

In the Indian market, this model will directly compete with Tata's electric vehicles, potentially rivaling the Tata Punch or Tata Nexon EV. Real competition will only become clear after pricing is announced. Furthermore, this model will be cheaper than the VinFast VF 6. The cost of this car starts at 18.19 lakh rupees, and VinFast might price it around 12 lakh rupees in India, including all charges.

A new brand, Denza, which is the luxury division of BYD, is entering the Indian automotive market. The launch date for this vehicle in the Indian market has been set for November 13. Details of the retail strategy will be revealed along with BYD's latest products on the day of the launch.

Denza plans to occupy a higher price segment compared to BYD models. As its first product, the company may introduce the Denza D9 MPV. This vehicle will compete with models such as the MG M9 and Kia Carnival, as well as the Toyota Vellfire, Lexus LM, and Mercedes-Benz V-Class, given the growing demand for similar vehicles, especially among those connected to the film industry.

The Denza D9 is an electric luxury MPV with a seven-seater cabin. It will be equipped with triple-zone climate control, a premium audio system, genuine leather upholstery, a panoramic roof, and electric seats with ventilation and heating functions. The seating configuration will be 2 + 2 + 3, with captain's chairs, ottomans, ADAS systems, and other options in the second row.

In India, the company may release this model with a battery pack capacity of 103 kWh. The car will have a front electric motor providing 313 hp and 360 Nm of torque. The claimed range is 520 kilometers. Denza may present this vehicle at a competitive price. Furthermore, Denza is preparing to release another performance-oriented product, which could be the Denza Z9 GT.

This second vehicle will feature an aggressive design and a 122.5 kWh battery. It will be equipped with three electric motors, totaling 1156 hp and reaching 1210 Nm of torque. The claimed range for this model is 600 kilometers, and it is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.
