DENZA, the premium automotive brand of the BYD Group, has announced pricing for the Z9 GT, the model that spearheads its UK launch.

Following the DENZA launch in Paris, UK buyers can now place an order for the premium shooting brake.

Whether choosing the Super DM plug-in hybrid or fully electric powertrain, the Z9 GT comes with a class-leading level of technical specification and standard equipment.

The Z9 GT launches with a fully electric powertrain, which is priced from £105,000.

The EV uses a three-motor layout (one at the front and two at the rear) resulting in a combined power output of 1,156ps and 1,210Nm of torque. This allows the Z9 GT to accelerate from 0-62mph in just 2.7 seconds, and to a top speed of 167mph. Its 122kWh battery is capable of 373 miles of electric range.

At a later date, the DM plug-in hybrid priced from £95,000 will join the EV in the Z9 GT range.

Its plug-in hybrid powertrain comprises three motors working in conjunction with a 63.82kWh battery. In fully electric mode, the Z9 GT DM can travel up to 126 miles on a single charge.

However, a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine increases range to up to 500 miles on a full charge and a full tank of petrol.

With a total output of 776ps and 1,035Nm, the DM variant can accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds, and its top speed is 161mph.

The Z9 GT is the first BYD Group model to bring FLASH Charging to the UK. With speeds of up to 1,500kW possible, it allows the Z9 GT to recharge from 10 to 70% in just five minutes, and 10 to 97 per cent in only nine minutes. That latter figure is the equivalent of adding 323 miles of range in that time. Even at -30C the Z9 GT can recharge from 20 to 97 per cent in 12 minutes. These times also apply to the battery in the DM.

All Z9 GTs are equipped with Nappa leather upholstery, with heating, ventilation and massage functions in front and outer second row seats. Those in the rear also benefit from extended leg rests and reclining backrests to deliver opulent comfort on every journey.

Optional extras include digital side mirrors (£1,600), and 21-inch alloy wheels (£2,500) in place of the standard-fit 20-inch items.

There are seven exterior paint finishes to choose from. Three shades, Obsidian Black, Sandstone Silver and Snow White, are available at no extra cost, while Emerald Green, Dolomite Slate and Midnight Blue cost an additional £2,500. Two matte finishes - Matte Copper and MatteShadow Black - cost £4,500.
