Denza D9 EV

After the launch of the Denza D9, it has been well - received in the market. However, most people are more concerned about the DM - i version, which has a lower price and no range anxiety. The EV version with a higher price is rarely asked about. But after I experienced the EV version, I came to the conclusion: the pure - electric model is more expensive not only because of the higher battery cost, but also because it offers a better experience in some details, especially in the chassis. In terms of appearance, the main difference between the pure - electric model and the hybrid model lies in the front face. The closed - type air intake grille is decorated with chrome vertical bars. The aesthetics are a matter of personal opinion, as aesthetics are quite subjective.
The interior decoration, intelligent configuration and other aspects of the pure - electric model are basically the same as those of the hybrid model with the same configuration. The differences lie in the power system and the Disus C intelligent damping suspension, which means the difference in the driving and riding experience. The front motor has a power of 230kW and the rear motor 45kW. The official 0 - 100km/h acceleration time is 6.9 seconds, 1 second faster than the four - wheel - drive hybrid version, and the difference in the actual feeling is quite obvious. The curb weight of the pure - electric version is more than 100kg heavier than that of the hybrid model, so it has to bear greater inertial impact. Therefore, the new suspension system is very necessary. It handles road bumps more gently. It won't jolt on small potholes and won't sway on big ones, giving a "premium feel" that only luxury cars have. Range performance: The power consumption per 100km in urban areas at low speeds is within 20 kWh. With a 100 - kWh battery pack and a nominal range of 600km, it should be able to run 480km without turning on the air - conditioner. In addition, this car also has the dual - gun fast - charging function, which is convenient for daily energy replenishment. Purchase advice: Although you get what you pay for, generally speaking, the hybrid model is still more competitive than the pure - electric model at this stage, unless you have a private driver and good charging conditions.

It's undeniable that since the equity change last year, Denza has now entered a new era. It still focuses on new energy products and high - end vehicle lineups. Today, the model we're going to unbox and experience is the all - new MPV under Denza - the D9.
¡¾Interior¡¿
If the biggest selling point of an MPV is the second row, then the second row of the Denza D9 can definitely be called top - notch. Specifically, its seats are made of high - end Nappa leather, offering 10 - way power seat adjustment, 6 - way sleeping headrests, 10 - point massage function, and electric leg rests.
It can be said that whether in terms of a sense of ceremony or luxury, the second row of the Denza D9 is enough to allow passengers to enjoy the ultimate experience brought by a top - class cabin. In addition, the D9 has a wheelbase of 3110mm, making it a real big guy. This means that the space in the third row is more practical compared to small - sized MPVs or seven - seat SUV models.
In terms of the interior, this D9 also showcases its unique sense of sophistication and technological atmosphere from various aspects. First of all, the center console adopts a wraparound layered design concept, and a large area is wrapped with leather and soft materials. The 10.25 - inch instrument panel + 15.6 - inch central control screen also meet the technological standards expected at this price point. Additionally, the crystal gear lever, in - car ambient lighting, and unique air vents all add a bit more refinement.
¡¾Exterior¡¿
As for the exterior, it also has outstanding luxuryÖʸÐ. The front of the car features a huge chrome grille style, which the official calls the chain - mail pattern, exuding great momentum. Besides, the headlight group is integrated with the front grille, with a rather unique shape.
¡¾Summary¡¿
Nowadays, consumers' car - buying needs have become more rational. Apart from paying more attention to vehicle performance, they also focus more on the car's appearance and intelligent configuration. The ultimate second - row configuration and intelligent interior of the Denza D9 have undoubtedly changed consumers' inherent impression of traditional MPV models.

[Most Satisfied]
The overall appearance is very imposing. The huge front grille is like the mask Optimus Prime wears when fighting. The shield-shaped grille can distinguish between the EV and DMI models, as they have different styles. One has downward strips, and the other has chrome grids. The smooth arc on the side makes the whole car look elegant and beautiful. The lines at the rear of the car are tightly drawn, resembling a car speeding forward in a cartoon. The rear doesn't look overly solemn but still has a sense of fun. The interior design continues BYD's consistent style, looking both novel and familiar. The 10.25-inch full LCD instrument integrates with the horizontal lines of the center console. The 15.6-inch center console large screen, like the interior large screens of other BYD models, can also rotate adaptively. The gear shift mechanism uses a high-class crystal gear lever, surrounded by touch-sensitive buttons.
[Least Satisfied]
The car body is quite tall, making parking a bit inconvenient. The front seat massage function is only available as an optional extra.
[Riding Experience]
The front seats don't have strong wrap-around, but they offer sufficient support. The seats of the whole car are made of Nappa leather, with a delicate and soft texture. The second-row seats are officially called "Zero-Sense Ergonomic Seats", featuring excellent styling and wrap-around. They are equipped with the longest electric slide rails and a large tilting angle in the same class, providing an extremely comfortable experience for the second row. There is a pull-out refrigerator behind the front armrest box for the second row to use. The third-row space is not cramped, with some reserved space. Even when the car is fully occupied, the trunk can still hold seven 20-inch suitcases.
[Driving Experience]
The D9 comes in two versions: EV and DM-i. Both models are equipped with motors, offering sufficient power at start-up and strong acceleration in the later stage. In terms of suspension, the FSD variable damping suspension system is standard. The high-end models also provide DiSus-C electronically controlled damping shock absorbers to further enhance comfort.
