BYD's premium DENZA brand opened pre-sales for the Z9S battery-electric sedan on August 3, 2026, offering three variants — FLASH Charging Premium, FLASH Charging Flagship, and e³ FLASH Charging Performance — priced at 319,800, 349,800, and 389,800 yuan (about $47,100 and up), with final prices to be confirmed at official launch.
DENZA claims the Z9S delivers the world's longest range for a mass-produced all-electric model at 1,100 km CLTC, breaking the previous 1,036-km record held by the Denza Z9GT.
The Z9S adopts a low-slung fastback profile under DENZA's "Elegance in Motion" design language, underscoring how BYD's premium arm is using extreme CLTC range as its main differentiator in China's increasingly crowded high-end EV segment.
