Denza Z9 GT: Mercedes And BYD Made An EV Super Wagon

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

That wagon looks so darn good! OH MY! We need tariff-free China BEVs here ASAP.

[@nfzeta128]

Tariff free def not happening but if the US doesn't change their car tariffs it may not be too bad.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

@@nfzeta128 There are North American plants being built that will make them tariff-free. It is happening.

[@ciybersal3499]

It's not happening, USA is hostile to China and none of Chinese companies are looking to sell in USA. Only few days ago Reuters reported Mexican officials admitting to not incentivising Chinese Nev brands to built locally due to pressure from USA

150 miles per hour speed limit is basically the industry standard for non specialized tires and wheels setup. This is a smart choice for daily driver cars.

[@Wheelsboy]

I agree that 150 mph isn't something to be particularly ashamed of, though it is a let down when the car has around 950 HP. It's undeniably enough for a daily driver, so ultimately not a big deal.

[@LF4RUNNER]

My goodness, 960hp, this car can fly. Maybe it’s time to relax the HWY speed limit.

[@gadgetgasspoll2923]

But this car is very heavy because it uses an LFP battery

[@Rockport1911]

5:35 Thats actually very common, that piece is one stamping of the " outside skin" for most cars I know of :) That piece actually reaches the whole side profile from behind the front wheels all the way to the where the back bumper begins. And of course its the whole height from the rocker below to where it meets the roof. Thats why damage to a rear quarter/ wheel arch is so hard to repair because now a seam gets introduced here as rarely the whole side of a car gets changed. That said, under that upper black trim on the rear quarter panel is where the seam between two parts gets hidden on lesser cars that have seperate panels here.

[@stanbimi]

Plenty of WOW factors in the styling.

I wonder how BYD is creating and maintaining insane number of new products in such as short time. No wonder, Elon musk is pissed with Tesla and will more hands on with the company

Meanwhile, this car can do 0 - 100 km/h in 3.6 s; 120 km - 0 km stop under 32.6m; rear wheel has a max turning angle of 20 degree, can do crab walk at 15 degree side way. by turning both rear wheels, this cars turning radius as small as 4.62m, which is less than a ford focus, while this car is 5.195m long. Apart from the performance, this car has air suspension, 32+ sensor for high level driving assist, self close and open electric door and many more. This car costs between 338,900 - 419,800 CNY, around 60,000 USD for it's Ultra model, tax included.

Very nice review, new subscriber. You mentioned a lot talking to the designers, being a designer myself I'd love to see those kind of conversations and give designers a bit more camera time so that both interviewer and creator can talk about the features of the car. That will be a nice addon for upcoming reviews (if you have the chance to do so of course)

The rear actually looks similar to my 2020 E450 cabriolet, it’s a MB look.

[@tudishen]

i guess the reason is because Mercedes Benz owned 50% shares of Denza in the beginning (now 10% left only), the first chief designer of Denza was Olivier Boulay who designed W126 S class, W202 C class, and also Maybach 57, 62. and the first denza GT model concept car was "concept X" which was launched in 2012, the designer of this model is Gorden Wagener, who is Mercedes Benz chiefe designer, he is responsible for designing work of many models since 2002, which included E class.

I would love to buy an EV from BYD, but the prices in the EU are artificially kept extreme high. Cheapest BYD is €30k. And, for us, it is getting kinda boring to have to wait for a 2-door EV. Everything is a boring 4-door and getting bigger and bigger. Whats next, 6- and 8-door EV's? 65% of the population in the EU will never use the rear doors, and even when they use it, its 2 times a year for the grandkids or the dog. Nice for the 35% 2+ households, but most households are single and duo.
