Denza, the Premium brand of the Byd group, arrives in Italy in 2025. Among the launch models there will be Z9GT, electric flagship or plug-in hybrid equipped with innovative technologies
The European path of Dence It started in Milan during the Design Week: the premium brand of the Byd group will arrive in our continent initially with two models, theflagship z9gt and the van d9. And the first of these was the subject of a preview test, to touch the construction quality and technological innovations with their hand. There Denza Z9GT It is a 5.20 meter length shooting, with high -level finishes and impressive performance: it delivers powers between 860 and 970 hprespectively in the version Plug-in and electric hybridthanks to an innovative platform that integrates three zero -emission engines. Thanks to the turmoil turns independently, it manages to move diagonally of 15 °, to rotate on itself 360 ° and to insert itself easily in a narrow parking lot. In Italy it will be available by the end of the year, at a price still to be defined but which will be placed above the top of the range by Byd, which is currently 72 thousand euros.
Design and sizes
–
The external lines of the Z9GT are designed to be streams and aerodynamicswith a particular care in the desire to replicate the movements of the silk, as explained by the design manager Wolfgang Egger. The front is characterized by a long hood with higher ribs that culminates with a lowered and aggressive muzzle. The front headlights are elongated and the side is characterized by a black line that cuts it, drawing a shape reminiscent of the lateral bulkheads of the old Formula 1 cars. The rear ends with a very tilted rear window surmounted by an aerodynamic spoiler, while the lights have a hourglass motif. The length of Ben 5.20 m He puts it as a flagship of the brand.
The interiors
–
Modernity and attention to detail are the key elements of the passenger compartment of the Denza Z9GT. Here too the reason for the silk returns, with fluid lines, curves and environmental lighting that recreates a horizontal hourglass shape. There are three screens present: a 13.2 “digital dashboard, a large central display of 17.3 “ forinfotainment and one for the passenger, also from 13.2 “. The audio system is built by Devialet. The internal space is enormous thanks to the completely flat bottom and the really important step, greater than three meters, while the trunk appears slightly undersized in relation to the length.
The technique
–
There E3 platform on which the Z9GT is built has numerous technological innovations, including technology Cell-to-Body With battery drowned in the frame, the steering rear wheels independently and an intelligent vehicle control system that manages all inputs. Both the electric and plug-in version have in fact battery arranged as a structural element of the framewhich allows, especially in the rechargeable hybrid, to significantly increase autonomy. This Super DM It is the version that we had the opportunity to try and combine a 2.0 turbo petrol engine four cylinder of about 220 HP with the three electrical engines integrated on the platform, two at the rear and one at the front. The steering rear axle independently allows you to carry out inaccessible maneuvers to other vehicles, such as the diagonal movement 15 °, the 360 ° rotation around an anterior wheel and the facilitated parking. The steering radius is also reduced to just 4.62 ma value worthy of a segment utility.
How is it going
–
We were able to try in preview the Denza Z9GT On the Pavese track of Vairano, briefly testing the qualities of acceleration, speed, comfort and safety of the plug-in hybrid version. It should be noted that the available cars had theChinese structureas the European point has not yet been made. This means that on average they were softer than suspensions, but we expect the level of comfort and silence found on the pavé and the cobblestones remains the same. The shot is interesting with the Sport and Sport+ driving mode+but it is clear that despite the great power the strength of the Z9GT is rather driving comfort. The automatic emergency braking function is also interesting, which allows you to stop the vehicle in the event of a sudden obstacle to Speed up to 50 km/hwithout the need to press the brake pedal.
