A revised Denza Z9 GT, developed under BYD’s premium Denza brand, has surfaced in the latest Ministry of Industry and Information Technology regulatory filing in China. The filing confirms multiple powertrain updates across both pure electric and plug-in hybrid variants. These changes point to a mid-cycle update rather than a full model replacement.
Exterior Design Largely Unchanged
The exterior shown in the filing matches the current Denza Z9 GT. Body proportions and styling elements remain intact. The only visible hardware change involves the lidar sensor, which now sits on the roof instead of its previous mounting position. The filing includes no interior images and no details on cabin updates.
New Single-Motor Electric Version Added
The filing introduces a new single-motor pure electric variant alongside the existing three-motor setup. The single-motor version delivers a maximum output of 370 kilowatts. Both the Denza Z9 and Denza Z9 GT are registered with this configuration.
Curb weight differs between standard and extended-range versions of the single-motor EV. Battery capacity for the extended-range version remains undisclosed.
Three-Motor EV Output Increased to 850 kW
The high-performance three-motor Denza Z9 GT receives a major output increase. The front motor produces 230 kilowatts, while each rear motor delivers 310 kilowatts. Total system output reaches 850 kilowatts, equal to about 1,140 horsepower.
Top speed for this configuration is listed at 270 kilometers per hour. The current production version produces 710 kilowatts, meaning the updated model gains a substantial power increase.
Plug-In Hybrid Gets Larger Battery and Long EV Range
The plug-in hybrid Denza Z9 GT retains a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with three electric motors. The engine outputs 152 kilowatts. The front motor produces 200 kilowatts, and each rear motor produces 220 kilowatts. Combined electric motor output stands at 640 kilowatts.
The hybrid now uses a 63.82 kilowatt-hour battery pack. WLTC-rated pure electric range reaches 301 kilometers. Under the CLTC cycle, electric-only range exceeds 400 kilometers.
Fuel consumption under battery-depleted conditions is rated at 6.30 liters per 100 kilometers. Top speed is listed at 230 kilometers per hour.
Launch Timing Still Unconfirmed
The MIIT filing does not reveal pricing or a confirmed launch date. Its appearance signals that BYD-backed Denza is moving the updated Z9 GT closer to production approval for the Chinese market.
