Denza Launches Five-Seat N8 SUV in China Starting at 269,900 Yuan

Denza, BYD’s premium brand, has launched the updated N8, a five-seat SUV, in China with official guide prices starting at 269,900 yuan.

The updated SUV is offered in battery-electric and plug-in hybrid versions, with the electric models rated for up to 1,003 kilometers of CLTC range.

The N8 is priced from 269,900 yuan to 329,900 yuan

Denza launched the N8 on November 12, offering six variants with official guide prices from 269,900 yuan to 329,900 yuan. The lineup includes both battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models.

The company described the N8 as a wide five-seat SUV, using the footprint of a three-row model to give more space to five occupants and the cargo area, according to Xinhua.

The SUV is 5,150 millimeters long, 1,999 millimeters wide and 1,820 millimeters tall, with a wheelbase of 3,075 millimeters. It is 50 millimeters shorter than Denza’s six-seat N8L, which remains in the brand’s family SUV lineup. Denza is offering eight exterior colors, including four two-tone options, and four cabin color themes.

The electric version is rated for up to 1,003 kilometers of CLTC range

Every N8 is equipped with BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery and flash charging technology. The battery-electric versions are rated for up to 1,003 kilometers of CLTC range. The plug-in hybrid versions are rated for 435 kilometers of CLTC electric range and 1,567 kilometers of combined CLTC range.

Denza says a usable charge takes five minutes and a full charge takes nine minutes, with charging time increasing by only three minutes at minus 30 degrees Celsius. God’s Eye 5.0 driver assistance is standard across the lineup.

The battery-electric lineup includes rear-wheel-drive single-motor versions rated at 320 kW or 370 kW, and a tri-motor all-wheel-drive version on Denza’s e3 Evo system with a combined output of 890 kW.

The cabin is built around a five-seat layout

With all five seats in use, cargo volume is 1,046 liters, including 110 liters of underfloor storage. Folding the second row expands that space to 2,150 liters. The N8 also has a 205-liter powered front trunk.

The interior is built around a dual-screen layout, with a 30-inch panoramic display and a 1.1-meter-wide passenger display that Denza calls a skyline screen. Front and rear seats can be adjusted into reclined positions, and the cabin includes a refrigerator and a rear ceiling-mounted screen among its equipment.
