BYD’s luxury brand Denza has launched the Z9 GT in India at Rs 1.57 crore (ex-showroom). The electric shooting brake went on sale on 13 November 2026, alongside the D9 luxury MPV, which is priced at Rs 90 lakh. Bookings for both cars are open for a token amount of Rs 10 lakh.
The Z9 GT is the performance flagship of Denza’s India line-up. It uses three electric motors — one at the front and two at the rear — that together produce 1,156 PS (1,140 bhp) and 1,210 Nm of torque. Denza says the car can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 270 km/h.
01. Battery and range
The Z9 GT gets a 122.5 kWh second-generation BYD Blade battery. Denza claims a driving range of 670 km on the NEDC test cycle. The car is built on BYD’s e3 platform and supports ultra-fast charging.
It also gets rear-wheel steering, which helps the large car turn more easily in tight spaces, and a shooting brake body style — a low, sleek estate shape that is rare in India. Denza says it is the only car of its kind currently on sale in the country.
02. Price, bookings and showrooms
The Z9 GT is offered in a single Premium variant at Rs 1,56,80,000 (ex-showroom). It comes to India as a fully imported model, known as a CBU. Denza will sell it through standalone showrooms, separate from BYD’s regular dealerships, in Gurugram, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad.
The Z9 GT will take on the BMW i5 M60 and the Porsche Taycan in India’s luxury electric car market. Denza was set up in 2010 as a joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz, and it is BYD’s answer to the luxury end of the market.
