On November 13, Denza, the luxury brand of BYD, will make its official debut in India. The company may launch the luxury shooting brake Z9 GT and the luxury MPV D9.

The Denza Z9 GT has a 122.5kWh battery and three motors that together produce 1,156hp. The car reaches 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds. Its claimed WLTP range is 600 km, and its likely price is put at between Rs 1.2 crore and Rs 1.5 crore.
