UPDATE: Official pricing is here! The PHEV version will cost 47,500-59,000 USD, while the EV will cost 50-54,500 USD.

I only bow down to God almighty not anything else, no human, no statue, nothing but to God, so please don't repeat that again because it's disrespectful. Ps: I know it's tradition in some areas, but, also offensive in other cultures, thanks 😊
To be honest. You might be right. Other than one thing. The way they drive! You will hear Ethan say ps5 steering wheel feeling. That's what kills me. We own Chinese cars, here in China and they are great. But they don't drive like a Cadillac or a bmw
BRING IT TO THE UK !!! This not only looks awesome, has performance to die for, but also has a great audio system, great interior, and what looks to be very comfortable seats. And it's 30% of the price of a Porsche.
Fun Fact: Denza was a joint brand 50/50 invested by BYD and Mercedes years ago, but this brand sold poorly in Mainland China market, then BYD took 90% shares, and here we have these brand new products, and they are selling well. Edit: BYD holds 100% shares of Denza since mid September 2024.
Can't Believe what if Denza is sold as Mercedes. Denza Z9 for 50,000$? No. Mercedes Benz CLZ 63eL (PHEV) AMG shooting-back version for 500,000$!Correct😂
When you mentioned that the small ventilation motors might break later on you reminded me of my dad. He didn’t want to buy a vehicle with electric windows when it were first introduced because he said it will break 😅
I'm in China now and yesterday I got possibility to drive a Densa Z9GT Hibrid. The pure EV model will be available in China beginning next month ( November ) Yes, I have same experience with the seat position. A little bit high. From the explain missing the information that in the sport mode the distance of the car bottom between the road surface 50 mm. The acceleration f@cking impressive. Thanks for the air suspension, the stability of the car very good. The hybrid version battery capacity 38,5kWh and the CLTC range 201 km. ( only with battery ) The prices in china for Max: 364.800.-Rmb / 51.980.-USD for Ultra: 414.800.-Rmb / 59.100.-USD
Tariffs in place by the US/Canada will prevent such vehicles from entering those markets, but Chinese cars offer such compelling features that the US producers will not be able to compete outside of those two countries and will become small local players only. China keeps putting out vehicles that people want, they're interesting, they're exciting, they have amazing features and they sell them at prices that people can afford. They are going to dominate world markets.
The cheapest car in the United States is only sold for $10000 in China. Nowadays, Chinese cars are much more expensive than American, German, and French cars, but overall, they are still cheaper than your country.
You see cars like these and you honestly understand why 100% US tariffs are in place. In a truly free market, BYD-Xpeng-NIO-Geely-etc would decimate the American and European makers. These guys are doing to the auto industry what they did to cellphones. This is basically a Porsche Panamera at 20% of the cost. Amazing quality and craftmanship.
That doesn't even come close to an all electric Panamera. Look at the build quality, the clearance of the hood and chassis on the Chinese car, it's way off. That's a sign for inferior build quality. If they mess up the body work, what are the insides like?

It has the styling and interior from Porsche Panamera, Mercedes, VW, and a bit of Tesla with excellent price and size. I don't think tariffs can give enough time for legacy auto to survive in their own countries
All cars are inspired by other cars one way or another. What's your point of bringing this up? Did you bring up the same thing when commenting on other cars? Genuine question.
@@sis-l1i In terms of engineering design, some beauty is Commonality. For example, you cannot innovate to design a square wheel. Chinese car companies represented by BYD are forming their own design style. Currently, NIO is ahead in car design style.
Stunning vehicle, and price. Hope it comes to Australia with our zero % tariffs, if an American then you should be pretty pissed off with your government pricing such vehicles out of your market and taking away your choice in what car YOU would like to buy.
Nice looking beast. I love the fact that they have touchable usable buttons for various controls, not everything running from a single ipad. The interior for me looks awesome. Hopefully I can test drive one in Australia at some point 😊
The moose test requires a perfect combination of intelligent control technology, advanced air suspension and intelligent driving assistance system, stable chassis and tires, and DENZA has obviously achieved it, which is great.
oh man.. paying 50K just in taxes to bring this to EU/US market and making it 100k is insane Whats even more insane is that even at that price, it doesn't have that much competition. We really went too crazy with the prices of everything here.
I think the rear could be easily improved by simply making the taillights either narrower or thinner. They're just too big, imo. Otherwise the design overall works well.
I really like your shows! Very informative, entertaining, right mixture of sarcasm and serious and fun! You give excellent insight in this fascinating market of eV! Thanks!
I am impressed, and I hope that if Stellantis does spin off Chrysler to the private party that is willing to bring BYD into a partnership, that this will improve car making in the Americas.
Again a great review of a great car. I agree with you on the interior design, I also don’t like the crystalline switches. Looking forward to your review of the Avatr07!
This car also has the auto parking assist that sways its rear-end to get into those impossible tight parking spots. You drive the head in at an angle and the car will take care of the tail end for you. Seen it in action in a video. It's sort of like the BYD U8 tank-turn, but only for the rear. It's actually very cool and practical.
An excellent video, as always. And I really appreciate the comment about the small electric motors in all of the 'greeting' items. I want to love Chinese cars, but my worry about a lot of the fancier functions lasting in the long-term doesn't feel unfounded.
I see one around amman jordan the last month or two. as often is the case there is no way for someone interested in one to figure out the brand to go shop.
I just drove my first Chinese car, excluding our Chinese made model 3. Did a 3500km trip in a Li L9. Positive - seats 6 in comfort. Quiet ride, excellent infotainment screen. No need to stop at a charging station. Large fridge to keep your drinks cool. Massive rear seats screen, kids loved it. Love the tiny screen on the steering wheel, can see all the important bits without looking at the center screen. Negative - poor fuel consumption, avg 9.2l/100. Passenger screen is blinding at night, impossible to see passenger mirror at night if screen is on, we kept the screen off during the whole journey. Limited voice commands in English.
Can you drive it without recharging and What happens when you drive it with petrol engine? What power do you get? Petrol engine works with e motor at the same time?
It does not need that much power crusing, like under 50KW. A 2.0T engine is enough to provide power for both crusing and charging the battery, so the battery can restore enough energy for large power requirements such as accelerating.

Honestly, if there are no tariffs or trade barriers put in place in the US and Canada, these cars will dominate and demolish all American car brands.
