Premium new energy vehicle brand DENZA officially begins its journey in the Philippines with the arrival of its flagship executive MPV, the all-new DENZA D9 DM-i — a bold statement of innovation, premium comfort, and intelligent mobility.

The launch opened with a special symphonic performance featuring Grammy-nominee conductor and composer maestro Darrell Ang, accompanied by the Manila Symphony Orchestra, setting a refined tone for the event and reflecting DENZA’s philosophy that technology and elegance can come together.

Guided by its brand philosophy, “Technology Drives Elegance,” DENZA reshapes the travel experience with thoughtful innovation and design. The D9 DM-i combines advanced electrified performance, contemporary design, and premium comfort — transforming every drive into a purposeful and elevated experience.

“Today marks an important milestone for DENZA in the Philippines. We are introducing a brand for individuals who seek a premium mobility experience — where innovation enhances comfort, every detail is carefully considered, and every journey feels refined and effortless. The D9 is just the beginning of our commitment to delivering this, and we look forward to expanding our presence in the months ahead.” said Adam Hu, Country Head of BYD and DENZA Philippines.

Electrified Performance Without Compromise

At its core, the all-new DENZA D9 DM-i features a sophisticated Super DM-i system that pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with high-performance dual electric motors. Together, the system produces up to 400 horsepower and 681 Nm of torque, delivering smooth yet confident acceleration with a top speed of 180 km/h. A very capable All-Wheel Drive, the DENZA D9 offers an impressive comprehensive range of up to 980 kilometers with a full tank and a fully charged battery combined — offering flexibility for both daily city drives and long-distance journeys.

Powering its electric drive is BYD’s renowned Blade Battery with a 40kWh capacity. Built on BYD’s advanced e-Platform 3.0 architecture, the D9 achieves a refined balance of efficiency, safety, adaptability, and ride comfort — ensuring a composed and confident drive in varying conditions.

Also further reinforcing its commitment to reliability and long-term ownership confidence, the DENZA D9 DM-i comes with an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer battery warranty, providing added peace of mind for customers embracing new energy mobility.

A Premium Cabin Experience

Inside, the full-size seven-seater MPV delivers a cabin designed around comfort and craftsmanship. All three rows are upholstered in supple Nappa leather, reflecting DENZA’s clean and contemporary design approach.

A 15.6-inch central infotainment display anchors the dashboard, complemented by dual 12.8-inch rear entertainment screens and a 14-speaker Dynaudio sound system — creating an immersive experience for every passenger.

Second-row occupants are treated to zero-gravity executive seats with 10-way power adjustment, six-way adjustable headrests, extendable leg rests, and heating, ventilation, and massage functions. Integrated armrest control screens allow seamless customization, ensuring comfort is always within reach.

Enhancing the lounge-like atmosphere are thoughtful features such as a built-in smart refrigerator, wireless charging, power sliding doors, and multi-color ambient lighting — details designed to make every journey feel considered and indulgent.

Complementing the DENZA D9 DM-i is the DENZA App, which allows owners to remotely monitor vehicle status, track location, manage charging, and control key functions directly from their smartphones — extending the D9’s intelligent experience beyond the drive.

During the launch, Liu Xueliang, General Manager of the BYD Asia-Pacific Sales Division, highlighted the brand’s long-term vision:

“DENZA was created to offer a new interpretation of modern mobility — where advanced electrification and elegant design come together to create meaningful experiences. The D9 represents that vision, and we are excited for Filipino customers to experience what the brand stands for.”

Guests were also given an exclusive preview of DENZA’s expanding lineup, including the DENZA Z9 GT, DENZA B5, and DENZA B8, offering a glimpse into the brand’s broader vision for premium new energy mobility in the Philippines.
