Chinese automotive giant BYD has officially opened pre-orders for its new flagship grand tourer, the Denza Z9 GT, positioning it as a high-performance competitor in the luxury electric vehicle market. The vehicle is priced between RMB 339,800 and RMB 419,800 (approximately $47,639 to $58,855), a range considered lower than market expectations for its class.

Scheduled for a September launch, the model will be available in both plug-in hybrid and all-electric variants. The hybrid version offers an impressive combined driving range of 1,100 kilometers, while the pure electric variant provides a range of 630 kilometers. This launch underscores BYD's strategy to combine advanced engineering with aggressive pricing to capture significant market share in the premium segment.
