The Denza Z9 GT shooting brake will debut in India on 13 November 2026, as BYD brings its luxury brand Denza to the country, according to Carlelo. The brand will also show the D9 executive MPV.

Quick answer

  • Debut date: 13 November 2026
  • Models: Denza Z9 GT and D9 MPV
  • Z9 GT claims: three motors, 1,156 hp, 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds
  • Battery: 122.5 kWh, with a claimed 600 km WLTP range
  • Price: not announced, but expected at Rs 1.2 to 1.5 crore ex-showroom, according to Carlelo

What the Denza debut means for India

For Indian buyers, this is the entry of another luxury electric brand at the very top of the market. However, it is a debut and not a price announcement. Autocar India says the Z9 GT and D9 are likely to launch by the end of 2026. So prices and sales dates are still to come.

Denza Z9 GT claimed specifications

The Z9 GT uses a tri motor setup, with one motor at the front and two independent motors at the rear. The claimed combined output is 1,156 hp. The claimed 0 to 100 km/h time is 2.7 seconds, and the top speed is 270 km/h.

The battery is a 122.5 kWh BYD Blade LFP pack. The claimed range is 600 km on the WLTP cycle, and real world range will differ.

BYD also claims flash charging of up to 1,500 kW. That would take the battery from 10 to 97 percent in about nine minutes. Such speeds need matching chargers, so it is worth asking what India will support.

Where it sits in the market

Carlelo names the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo as a rival. The Z9 GT is a shooting brake, a long roof coupe style body. Autocar India says no other current car in India uses it.

The car has also been spotted on Indian roads ahead of the debut, according to Autocar India’s earlier reports.

What is still unconfirmed

The reports we read do not mention bookings, dealer plans, the event venue or whether the cars will be imported or built locally. The price is also an estimate.

So treat the figures above as claims until BYD confirms them on 13 November.
