BYD again? 🤪
BYD has launched its most expensive Denza N9 model, priced between $54,000 and $62,000, to rival BMW and Mercedes-Benz in China’s luxury EV market. The SUV features both plug-in hybrid and pure-electric versions with an advanced three-motor system delivering up to 322 hp.
Equipped with BYD’s self-developed God’s Eye autonomous system, 128-line lidar, and on-vehicle drone support, the N9 offers latest driving assistance, remote parking, and a 19-minute fast-charging capability. It boasts a range of 809 miles (1,302 km) under CLTC standards.
China’s EV makers, including BYD, Li Auto, and Xpeng, are rapidly gaining market share, pushing global brands out of the premium segment. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi reported declining sales in China as local automakers continue to innovate with high-tech, intelligent electric vehicles.
