DENZA has set 8 April for the European presentation of its Z9GT, with an event at the Palais Garnier in Paris. The shooting brake will introduce the BYD Group's second-generation Blade Battery and FLASH Charging technology to the brand's European launch programme.
The headline charging claims are five minutes from 10% to 70% and nine minutes from 10% to 97%. For the cold-weather demonstration, DENZA quotes twelve minutes from 20% to 97% at −30°C. Keeping those different starting points in view makes the figures more useful than the short advertising slogan.
A large battery and several drivetrain configurations
The March announcement describes a 122 kWh battery and a rear-wheel-drive version with a claimed range of up to 800 km. It also previews a three-motor electric variant with more than 960 PS and a 0–100 km/h time below three seconds. The release presents 800 km as an initial manufacturer claim, with the detailed European specifications still due.
Under the body is DENZA's e³ platform. The brand positions the Z9GT as a long-distance grand tourer, with an interior audio system developed with Devialet and support for Dolby Atmos. The charging announcement gives an early view of the technology, while the full model presentation will determine the exact specification offered to European customers.
The charger figure of up to 1,500 kW refers to the Chinese connector specification. DENZA says a first batch of European FLASH Charging stations forms part of the international rollout, with infrastructure plans still to be announced. For anyone considering the Z9GT, the relationship between the car's charging capability and accessible local stations will matter as much as the peak power.
