“The design is simultaneously spirited and deluxe,” said Egger, designer of the vehicle.

The newly developed Denza is equipped with BYD’s new energy technology and is expected to go on sale in China by the end of this year.

Since 2023, Denza’s cars have debuted at auto shows in Thailand, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, Switzerland, and other countries. The new model will play a core role in Denza’s and BYD’s global market sales, the companies say.
