DENZA, the premium new energy vehicle brand, has officially marked its entrance into the local market with the launch of its flagship MPV, the all-new DENZA D9 DM-i. The arrival of this luxury mover was celebrated with a performance by the Manila Symphony Orchestra, perfectly reflecting the brand’s core philosophy of “Technology Drives Elegance.” This debut signals a new era for Filipino executives and families who want the sustainability of an electric drive without sacrificing the prestige and comfort of a world-class limousine.
Under the hood, the DENZA D9 DM-i is designed to eliminate range anxiety while delivering massive power. Its sophisticated Super DM-i system pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with high-performance dual electric motors, producing a combined 400 horsepower and 681 Nm of torque. This setup allows the all-wheel-drive MPV to reach a top speed of 180 km/h and cover an impressive total range of up to 980 kilometers on a full tank and charge. Built on BYD’s advanced e-Platform 3.0 and powered by the ultra-safe 40kWh Blade Battery, the D9 offers a composed ride that is as efficient as it is powerful. To ensure long-term confidence, the vehicle also comes with a generous 8-year or 160,000-kilometer battery warranty.
The interior of this seven-seater is where the D9 truly shines as a “mobile boardroom.” All three rows are wrapped in supple Nappa leather, but the second row offers a true first-class experience with zero-gravity executive seats. these seats feature 10-way power adjustment, massage functions, and built-in armrest screens for seamless control. The cabin is packed with premium touches, including a 15.6-inch central display, dual 12.8-inch rear entertainment screens, and a 14-speaker Dynaudio sound system. Passengers can even enjoy a built-in smart refrigerator and multi-color ambient lighting, making every journey feel like a retreat from the city’s hustle.
Beyond the hardware, the D9 integrates into a modern lifestyle through the DENZA App, allowing owners to remotely track their vehicle, manage charging, and control key functions directly from their smartphones. Adam Hu, Country Head of BYD and DENZA Philippines, noted that the D9 is just the beginning of the brand’s commitment to the country, with more models like the Z9 GT already being teased for future release. The all-new DENZA D9 DM-i is now available in four elegant colors—Whale Sea Blue, Cosmos Black, Arctic White, and Starry Night Grey—with a retail price of Php 4,298,000.
