Price and configuration of Denza N9

As the flagship SUV under the Denza brand, the Denza N9 has a length, width, and height of 5258X2030x1830mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3125mm. The passenger cabin area reaches 6.41 square meters, approximately equivalent to an entrance garden.

The ample space allows the seats of the Denza N9 to have a three - fold design. It can switch modes with one key, such as the front - row cinema mode, the rear - row big - bed mode, the four - person comfortable mode, and the full - occupancy travel mode. The Denza N9 can achieve a fully flat big - bed without an air cushion, and users can freely combine according to the scene requirements. In terms of seats, the Denza N9 is equipped with Cloud - Nest seats throughout the vehicle, which can realize a holographic intelligent rhythmic driver's seat, an "air - dual - use" active driving side - wing support, and a zero - gravity luxury front - passenger seat.

Coupled with the standard - equipped Devialet theater - grade sound field, electric doors, an 11L intelligent three - compartment refrigerator with adjustable temperature, and a five - zone dual - flow air - conditioning system in the entire series, the Denza N9 is not only a "mobile living room" but also a "mobile meeting room".

The scene of the press conference

It is reported that the Denza N9 follows the "145" vehicle code, which includes: 1 core - the e - TriPower vehicle intelligent control technology platform; 4 major scenarios - suitable for both urban and off - road use, and for both business and family needs; 5 all - round capabilities - all - round safety, all - round driving control, all - round intelligence, all - round space, and all - round luxury. Zhao Changjiang, the general manager and chief co - creation officer of Denza Auto, said: "Buying a Denza N9 is equivalent to having a flagship family car, an intelligent car, and an off - road vehicle at the same time!"

Safety is the foundation of the Denza N9. As a new - generation "road tank", the Denza N9 uses a 2000MPa hot - formed steel cage - type body. Combined with the hybrid CTB battery - body integration technology, the whole vehicle is standard - equipped with 9 airbags, which can buffer the impact of collisions in all directions and reduce secondary injuries. In the safety collision test, even in extreme accident scenarios, the Denza N9 can still protect the safety of the vehicle occupants.

With the support of the e - TriPower system, when the Denza N9 is driving on icy, snowy, flooded, or split - friction roads, the low - friction road stability enhancement system can maximize the vehicle's stability. It not only prevents skidding but also ensures traffic efficiency on the premise of safety. The high - speed AEB of the Denza N9 can stop the vehicle at a speed of 120km/h, and the night AEB function can accurately stop the vehicle at a speed of 110km/h, with less than 1 false trigger per million kilometers.

At the press conference, the Denza N9 not only refreshed the record of straight - line tire blow - out again but also achieved stability during tire blow - out in curves and on ice - snow circular tracks.

In terms of power performance, the Denza N9 is equipped with the e - TriPower platform, which integrates four core technologies: three - motor independent drive, rear - wheel dual - motor independent steering, VMC vehicle motion control, and the whole - series CTB battery - body integration.

With the cooperation of the three motors, the Denza N9 can release a combined power of nearly a thousand horsepower, surpassing a 12 - cylinder engine, and achieving a 0 - 100km/h acceleration in about 3.9 seconds. At the same time, the NEDC fuel consumption of the Denza N9 under power - depleted conditions is only 6.3L/100km, with a pure - electric range of over 200km and a comprehensive range of up to 1302km.

Functions unique to the e - TriPower platform, such as extreme steering, pivot turn, e - TriPower parking, and intelligent crab - walking, can all be realized on the Denza N9. In addition, the entire series of the Denza N9 is equipped with Cloud - Ride A (dual - chamber air suspension), which, combined with the preview function, further enhances the driving comfort.

In terms of intelligence, the AI intelligent cockpit of the Denza N9 is equipped with BYD's DiLink system, featuring a 4nm flagship chip, 5G intelligent connectivity, and ten screens throughout the vehicle. It also supports "six - zone" voice interaction, allowing passengers in all three rows to interact with the AI intelligent cockpit with the full - fledged DeepSeek through voice.

It is worth mentioning that BYD announced the official upgrade of its open - ecosystem strategy and released the first IoT protocol in the automotive industry, "Auto IoT", upgrading the ecosystem opening to the hardware level and connecting all automotive scenarios. Centered around the vehicle, BYD links everything from cars, mobile phones, and wearable devices to drones. More than 20 IoT products, such as child safety seats, massage eye masks, and intelligent mattresses, will be launched one after another within this year.

In terms of intelligent driving, the entire series of the Denza N9 comes standard with Divine Eye B, equipped with 32 multi - form sensors, including 1 lidar, 5 millimeter - wave radars, and 12 cameras. It has the ability to automatically brake for other vehicles, pedestrians, and two - wheeled vehicles. The Denza N9 will be equipped with end - to - end map - less urban navigation upon its launch and delivery.

In urban scenarios, the intelligent driving system of the Denza N9 can accurately identify obstacles such as illegally parked cars, non - motorized vehicles cutting in or reversing, traffic cones, traffic columns, and detours due to fences, and change lanes in time to bypass them, ensuring safer and more efficient traffic. In complex intersections such as X - shaped, Y - shaped, T - shaped, misaligned, multi - fork intersections, and roundabouts, the intelligent driving system can plan in advance, select appropriate lanes, and pass through smoothly.

The Denza N9 also supports the APA automatic parking function, which is applicable to vertical/parallel/diagonal parking spaces and complex parking scenarios at night or in rainy days. It can accurately identify, park in, and park out of the parking spaces with one key.

The emergence of the Denza N9 brings another important new car to the large SUV market. This vehicle carries the determination of the Denza brand to move upmarket and will sound the strongest voice of Denza in the high - end market.
