BYD luxury brand Denza has revealed an all-electric version of its huge N9 SUV, with a combined 890kW from three motors. The details appeared in specifications published by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on 4 November 2026.

The N9 has until now been offered as a plug-in hybrid. The electric version is a newly disclosed powertrain, and it is not yet confirmed for Australia.

Denza N9 electric SUV specifications

A 270kW motor drives the front axle, while two 310kW motors power the rear. The setup is all-wheel drive, and the N9 also gets rear-wheel steering to help with manoeuvrability. Claimed top speed is 240km/h.

It measures 5270mm long and weighs up to 3180kg, depending on configuration. Buyers can choose between five and six seats.

The battery is a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) unit from FinDreams, BYD’s battery subsidiary. Capacity, driving range and charging speeds were not included in the filing, so there is no official guide yet to how far the N9 can travel on a charge.

Denza N9 in Australia

The plug-in hybrid N9 has already turned up in Australian certification documents, and right-hand-drive testing of it has been reported locally. The electric version has not appeared in any local announcement, and there is no Australian pricing or launch timing for either powertrain.
