The DENZA Z9GT electric vehicle has been debuted by the BYD luxury brand as one of its latest models that embraces a number of impressive features, but with a decidedly competitive price point.
The vehicle is priced starting at 269,800, which comes as a 23.96% reduction in its price from the previous model and is rated to deliver up to 644-miles of pure electric range. This is also positioned as a 64% increase in range over the previous model's 391-mile range.
The DENZA Z9GT electric vehicle is also reported to feature BYD's second-generation blade battery that's supported by flash charging technology. This will reportedly charge the vehicle from 10% to 70% in five-minutes with a near-full charge to 97% raking nine-minutes.
