The BYD Z9 GT isn’t just a car—it’s a bold statement of innovation, design, and sustainability, crafted for drivers who demand more from their luxury vehicles. As BYD’s flagship model under its premium Denza brand, the Z9 GT has already shattered records, delivering over 10,000 units within months of its 2024 launch, making it the fastest-selling luxury new energy vehicle in its class. Now, as it debuts in Europe with a star-studded reveal at Milan Design Week, the Z9 GT is poised to challenge legacy automakers like Porsche and BMW on their home turf. Here’s why this groundbreaking model deserves global attention—and how BYD Accessories and the BYD Store can elevate your ownership experience.
Design Mastery: Where European Minimalism Meets Futuristic Flair
The Z9 GT’s (shooting brake) design blends aerodynamic curves with functional elegance, featuring a low-slung roofline, split LED headlights, and an active rear spoiler. Its dimensions (5,180–5,195 mm long, 1,990 mm wide) rival the Porsche Panamera, while the extended wheelbase (3,125 mm) ensures spacious interiors. Inside, the cabin marries minimalist luxury with tech-forward details:
- 17.3-inch 2.5K OLED infotainment and dual 13.2-inch screens for driver and passenger.
- Zero-gravity seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions.
- Devialet Audio system and a 50-inch AR-HUD for immersive driving.
BYD’s global design chief, Wolfgang Egger, emphasizes a fusion of European precision and Eastern aesthetics, showcased in the Z9 GT’s seamless blend of form and function.
Built on BYD’s revolutionary e³ Platform with Yi San Fang technology, the Z9 GT introduces industry-first innovations:
- Triple-motor drivetrain: Delivering up to 952 hp (710 kW) in the EV variant, accelerating 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
- Crabwalk & Compass Turn : Enables diagonal movement and a 4.62-meter turning radius—perfect for tight European streets.
- 180 km/h high-speed blowout stabilization: Maintains control even during tire failures.
- CTB battery integration: Enhances structural rigidity while offering up to 630 km (EV) or 1,100 km (PHEV) range.
Global Ambitions: A New Era for Chinese Luxury Brands
BYD’s strategic push into Europe includes 105 sales outlets in Italy by 2025, part of a broader plan to establish 500 European stores. The Z9 GT’s Milan debut—paired with partnerships at design festivals—signals a cultural shift, positioning Chinese automakers as equals to German luxury marques. However, challenges like EU regulatory scrutiny on battery claims and brand recognition remain. BYD counters with localized services and tech transparency to build trust.
