The Chinese premium brand DENZA has confirmed UK pricing and specification for its flagship D9 luxury MPV, bringing business-class comfort, plug-in hybrid efficiency and groundbreaking FLASH Charging technology to the British market.

Available to order now, the new DENZA D9 is offered in two generously equipped trim levels, with prices starting from £75,000 for the Elegance model and rising to £85,000 for the flagship Ultimate.

Designed to challenge established premium people carriers, the D9 combines seven-seat practicality with luxury limousine levels of comfort while introducing one of the fastest charging plug-in hybrid systems currently available.

FLASH Charging sets a new benchmark

At the heart of the D9 is DENZA’s advanced Dual Mode Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (DM-i AWD) plug-in hybrid system, engineered to deliver smooth electric driving for everyday journeys while retaining the reassurance of a petrol engine for longer distances.

The drivetrain combines a 231PS front electric motor with a 61PS rear motor, providing all-wheel drive capability. During higher power demands, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine supports the electric system, although in normal driving it primarily acts as a generator to maintain battery charge and maximise efficiency.

The result is a refined driving experience with a 0-62mph time of 8.6 seconds, while intelligent power management ensures seamless transitions between electric and hybrid operation.

Where the D9 truly stands apart, however, is its compatibility with DENZA’s revolutionary FLASH Charging technology.

The 58.5kWh battery can recharge from 10 to 70 per cent in just five minutes, reach 97 per cent in only nine minutes, while even in temperatures as low as -30°C, a 20 to 97 per cent charge takes only 12 minutes. DENZA says this equates to an extraordinary maximum charging rate of 559kW.

Fully charged, the D9 offers up to 130 miles of pure electric driving, while the combination of battery and petrol engine extends total driving range to 590 miles.

For buyers seeking a luxurious seven-seat vehicle that blends business-class refinement with cutting-edge hybrid technology, the DENZA D9 makes an impressive first statement.

Comfort engineered for every journey

Passenger comfort has been placed firmly at the centre of the D9’s design.

Its DiSus-C intelligent damping system, working with MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear setup, continuously adjusts compression and rebound damping to deliver composed handling alongside impressive ride comfort over uneven roads.

Inside, both trim levels provide a genuinely premium environment.

Powered sliding rear doors offer easy access to the spacious cabin, while every seat is trimmed in leather beneath a panoramic 1.1-square metre glass roof complete with electric sunshade.

Second-row passengers enjoy dedicated LCD armrest controllers allowing simple operation of climate and infotainment functions, while a heated and cooled storage compartment keeps refreshments at the ideal temperature. A premium Devialet audio system completes the executive lounge atmosphere.

Front occupants are equally well catered for with heated, ventilated and 10-point massage seats, a heated steering wheel, a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen with Google built-in, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument display.

Ultimate trim adds true business-class luxury

For buyers seeking the highest level of luxury, the D9 Ultimate introduces several exclusive upgrades.

Gesture-controlled powered sliding doors and tailgate improve convenience, while the second-row seats become true business-class chairs, featuring 14-way electric adjustment, 16-point massage functions and the ability to recline to 152 degrees in a near-flat “zero gravity” position.

Each second-row passenger also receives an individual 12.8-inch entertainment display, transforming longer journeys into a first-class travel experience.

The upgrades continue throughout the cabin with premium Nappa leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seating for all seven occupants, a 12-inch head-up display, an additional 10.25-inch passenger display, a digital rear-view mirror and elegant wood trim spanning the dashboard and doors.

Practicality without compromise

Despite its luxury focus, the D9 remains highly practical.

Its flexible seven-seat layout provides generous accommodation across all three rows, while luggage capacity ranges from 430 to 570 litres with every seat occupied. Folding the rear seats increases maximum load space to an impressive 2,310 litres, making the D9 equally suited to family life and executive transport duties.
