DENZA will use the Paris Motor Show, running from 12 to 18 October, to show how its European range extends beyond the Z9GT and D9. The announced display includes the BAO 5 off-road SUV and three versions of the DENZA Z electric performance car.
The Z lineup comprises Coupé, Spider and Racing variants built on the e³ platform. DENZA quotes a three-motor drivetrain with 1,604 PS and 1,240 Nm, paired with a 76 kWh second-generation Blade Battery. Its published WLTP range figures are up to 410 km for the Coupé, 400 km for the Spider and 380 km for the Racing.
Different performance targets within the Z family
The manufacturer gives the Coupé a 0–100 km/h time of 2.25 seconds and a 300 km/h maximum speed. It quotes 2.3 seconds for the open-top Spider. For the Racing, fitted with optional semi-slick tyres, the announced figures reach 1.96 seconds and up to 350 km/h. The different tyre and variant specifications matter when comparing those numbers.
All three versions are described with DiSus-M magnetorheological suspension, which adjusts damping rapidly. The Paris announcement presents the cars as a showcase for DENZA's performance engineering, alongside the more practical uses of the group's technology.
BAO 5 supplies that second perspective. Its DMO plug-in hybrid system combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine and two electric motors for a quoted 544 PS and 760 Nm. DENZA lists a 31.8 kWh battery, up to 90 km of electric range and up to 835 km of combined WLTP range. The Elegance version's stated 0–100 km/h time is 4.8 seconds.
A FLASH Charger will also be on the stand, connecting the vehicle display to the infrastructure needed to support very short charging stops. The display brings the three Z variants together with the more practical BAO 5. Local prices, order timing and country-specific equipment will determine how those models enter DENZA's European range.
