- Denza will open pre-orders for the N8 EV on October 26, with an official launch scheduled for November, marking its entry into the long-range luxury electric SUV segment.
- Denza N8 EV delivers up to 1,003 km (623 miles) of pure electric range under CLTC conditions, powered by a 130.15 kWh second-generation Blade Battery.
- Denza N8 EV supports 1,500 kW Flash Charging, enabling a 10% to 70% charge in five minutes and 10% to 97% in nine minutes, according to company claims.
- Denza offers the N8 EV in rear-wheel-drive and tri-motor all-wheel-drive configurations, with the latter producing 890 kW (1,193 hp) via a 270 kW front motor and two 310 kW rear motors.
- Denza N8 EV features a 30-inch center infotainment screen and a 43-inch panoramic head-up display, emphasizing high-tech luxury in a minimalist cabin design.
- Denza launched the slightly longer N8L EV variant last month, priced from 299,800 yuan ($45,000), with a 960 km (596 miles) CLTC range and 130.15 kWh Blade Battery 2.0.
Why it matters: With a 623-mile range and nine-minute near-full charge, the Denza N8 EV sets a new benchmark in fast-charging capability and battery efficiency, directly challenging premium EV rivals. The launch strengthens BYD’s push into high-end electric vehicles, targeting consumers prioritizing range and charging speed without switching brands.
