Recently, domestic MPV new cars continue to appear, in addition to the Lantu Dreamer, Denza Auto official also released the official name of its new MPV model - Denza D9, the new car positioning medium and large MPV, will be listed in the near future.
As the second brand new model of the Denza brand, the Denza D9 officially gives a new explanation in the naming. The official interpretation says that "D" represents Denza's epoch-making definition of luxury MPV; it is also the brand initial of Denza; it can bring consumers a large space and five-star security protection; and it also represents Dream Car, which creates a better life with users. "9" represents the atmosphere is extraordinary, and the driving is durable; so it is named "D9". In the view of Auto-First, the meaning of the new car is nothing more than representing the two aspects of "D" large space and "9" lasting endurance.
Seeing the appearance of the new car, the first glance is reminiscent of the Toyota "Alpha". In the design of the front face of the new car, a large-size through-feed grille style is adopted, and the interior of the grille is decorated with a similar chrome lock armor shape, which makes the front face full of muscle. The two sides of the through-LED daytime running lights, with sharp headlights, are similar to the design concept of BYD's new headlights. The stout chrome trim strips on both sides give a strong visual impact.
According to the data, the body size is pursued to be larger, the length of the new car will exceed 5200mm, the width and height will exceed 1900mm, the wheelbase will exceed 3000mm, and the parameter data will be larger than the Buick GL8. The design of the entire side is consistent with the standard MPV model, the double-sided sliding door design, with more than 19-inch spoke wheels, the side door handle, and the through-LED taillight group with the tail "arrow feather" effect, the spoiler on the rear roof, etc., dentist D9 does not lose imported models such as Toyota Alpha in terms of body details.
A few days ago, Auto-First also learned about a group of interior spy photos of new cars, and found from the interior spy photos that the interior of the new car or the same layout style as BYD Han, multi-functional two-spoke steering wheel, suspension full LCD instrument, rotatable central control LCD screen, electronic gear handle and other technical configurations are readily available.
Of course, Denza D9 will continue to focus on the market positioning of IKEA, and Zhao Changjiang, general manager of the sales division of Denza Automobile, also revealed the configuration of the new car, the new car will be equipped with a standard electric sunroof with a large canopy (double glazing), with double electric sunshades, electric sunroof one-key opening /closing, welcome mode double-sided electric sliding doors, four-door double-layer silent glass, etc.
In terms of space layout, the new car will adopt a 2+2+3 7-seat seat layout, and the third row can achieve flat storage to bring better practicality. It is worth mentioning that the new car will push the 4-seat ultra-luxury version in the later stage to further enhance the product and brand image.
In terms of power, the new car will provide two versions of the hybrid version and the pure electric version, the hybrid version of the model is expected to continue to be equipped with BYD DM-i or DM-p super hybrid technology, using a 1.5T engine and front and rear dual motors, it is expected that the pure electric endurance can reach 200km, the comprehensive endurance is about 800-1000km, and the pure electric version of the model has a mileage of about 500-800km, and the battery is equipped with BYD blade batteries.
Reading this, I think everyone is most concerned about the price of this new car, compared with the same level of competitive models, the new car size exceeds the Buick GL8 and does not lose toyota Alpha, the configuration is also more advantageous, from the current product line, The price of the new car of Denza D9 will inevitably be higher than the price of Denza X of 289,800 yuan -357,800 yuan, which is similar to the pre-price of the competitor model Lantu Dreamer of 380,000-600,000 yuan.
In addition to creating high-end MPV in terms of products this year, Denza Auto-First also learned that BYD and Daimler will make new adjustments to their equity, and after the adjustment, BYD's shareholding ratio will increase to 90%, and the adjustment is scheduled to be completed in mid-2022.
