UPDATE: Official pricing is here! The PHEV version will cost 47, 500-59, 000 USD, while the EV will cost 50-54, 500 USD. Not quite as cheap as I predicated, but now we know the air suspension, dual fridges and lidar-based ADAS are all standard! BYD also revealed that it would be sold in European and Asian markets, but prices will be well over twice as much as here in China….

At 9:43 in the video, I state that it seems PHEV models don’t have the compass turn function. This is incorrect! Both EV and PHEV models have the e3 system with compass turn and other functions as standard, it simply hadn’t been activated on our test car for the event. Apologies for the mistake!

Honestly, if there are no tariffs or trade barriers put in place in the US and Canada, these cars will dominate and demolish all American car brands.

Fun Fact: Denza was a joint brand 50/50 invested by BYD and Mercedes years ago, but this brand sold poorly in Mainland China market, then BYD took 90% shares, and here we have these brand new products, and they are selling well.
Edit: BYD holds 100% shares of Denza since mid September 2024.

US government: this car is too good, you have to pay 100% tips for it.

BRING IT TO THE UK !!!
This not only looks awesome, has performance to die for, but also has a great audio system, great interior, and what looks to be very comfortable seats. And it's 30% of the price of a Porsche.

[Darkmatter]

5:50 That's all I needed to hear. This car checks all the boxes for me.

Tariffs in place by the US/Canada will prevent such vehicles from entering those markets, but Chinese cars offer such compelling features that the US producers will not be able to compete outside of those two countries and will become small local players only. China keeps putting out vehicles that people want, they're interesting, they're exciting, they have amazing features and they sell them at prices that people can afford. They are going to dominate world markets.

Bring it to the UK. I have money waiting to be spent on a decent EV not made by musk.

I'm in China now and yesterday I got possibility to drive a Densa Z9GT Hibrid. The pure EV model will be available in China beginning next month ( November )
The prices in china for Max: 364.800.-Rmb / 51.980.-USD
for Ultra: 414.800.-Rmb / 59.100.-USD

You see cars like these and you honestly understand why 100% US tariffs are in place. In a truly free market, BYD-Xpeng-NIO-Geely-etc would decimate the American and European makers. These guys are doing to the auto industry what they did to cellphones. This is basically a Porsche Panamera at 20% of the cost. Amazing quality and craftmanship.

When you mentioned that the small ventilation motors might break later on you reminded me of my dad. He didn’t want to buy a vehicle with electric windows when it were first introduced because he said it will break 😅

I heard it is coming to Australia in second half of 2025. Glad to see more competition here.

[SS-heuw]

Looks amazing a specially from tha back.. i love it

[zodiacfml]

It has the styling and interior from Porsche Panamera, Mercedes, VW, and a bit of Tesla with excellent price and size. I don't think tariffs can give enough time for legacy auto to survive in their own countries

[GodsloveMuzik]

China is kicking American and German’s asses in the electric vehicle world. There’s nobody on their level

[techlock-trading]

Stunning vehicle, and price. Hope it comes to Australia with our zero % tariffs, if an American then you should be pretty pissed off with your government pricing such vehicles out of your market and taking away your choice in what car YOU would like to buy.

[naheemrazwan]

The way it turned was quite cool actually, like a dance

[Anthony-zi]

Nice looking beast. I love the fact that they have touchable usable buttons for various controls, not everything running from a single ipad. The interior for me looks awesome. Hopefully I can test drive one in Australia at some point 😊

[entasis.fifty-four]

Too bad it will not be available in the US.

[kossyeze]

Now I can finally drift a car without learning how to drift 😅
