Overview

The Denza Z9 sedan has been unveiled in China, offering both electric and hybrid versions. The car is similar to the Z9 GT sedan, with the same wheelbase at 3,125mm. However, the sedan is slightly larger in terms of length, width, and height compared to the GT hybrid version.

Design

The Z9 sedan looks almost identical to the Z9 GT, with the front fascias for the hybrid and all-electric versions slightly different. The hybrid version has a more aggressive overall design, and the front fender area accommodates Lidar units on at least some Z9 versions. The option to replace side-view mirrors with cameras is also available.

Dimensions and Weight

The PHEV hybrid version is larger than the electric version due to the larger bumper. The length is 5,235mm for the sedan and 5,180mm for the GT, while the width and height are 1,990mm and 1,500mm respectively. The curb weight for the PHEV is 2,780 kg, while for the electric version it’s 2,895 kg.
