On 15 July 2026, BYD's premium sub-brand Denza officially launched its flagship model, the Denza Z9GT, in Kuala Lumpur. Notably, Malaysia is the first market in the Asia-Pacific region (excluding China) to welcome this flagship shooting brake. Furthermore, instead of introducing the older 2024 debut model, the local market receives the latest 2026 Z9GT.
Offered in a single, fully imported (CBU) all-electric variant, the Z9GT is priced at RM 358,800. For less than RM 360,000, you get a flagship shooting brake boasting 1,156 PS, a 0-100 km/h sprint of 2.7 seconds, megawatt flash charging, and crab walk capability.
The Denza Z9GT is priced at RM 358,800 (on-the-road, excluding insurance) in Malaysia, with two exterior colour options: Rime Gold and Obsidian Black.
The brand has officially benchmarked it against the Porsche Taycan and Porsche Panamera. With the Taycan starting at nearly RM 700,000 locally, the Z9GT delivers supercar-rivalling specs at less than half the price. From a product strategy perspective, this isn't just about selling an EV; it's about redefining the value proposition of a luxury GT through sheer technological dominance.
The Z9GT measures 5,180 mm in length, 1,990 mm in width, and 1,480/1,500 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,125 mm. These dimensions dwarf most traditional D-segment luxury sedan. At over 5 metres long and nearly 2 metres wide, it is a massive machine on paper. However, its chassis tech will completely redefine how you view the relationship between size and agility.
At the heart of the Z9GT is BYD's proprietary e³ (Yi San Fang) platform, featuring a tri-motor setup (one front, two rear) for all-wheel drive.
Specifically:
Front motor: 313 PS (309 hp / 230 kW) and 430 Nm
Dual rear motors: 422 PS (416 hp / 310 kW) and 400 Nm each
Total output: 1,156 PS (1,140 hp / 850 kW) and 1,210 Nm
Compared to the 2024 version, the combined output of this 2026 upgraded model has bumped up by 191 PS and 100 Nm.
Performance figures are equally impressive: the 0–100 km/h sprint takes just 2.7 seconds. Such performance is enough to make many supercars look ordinary, especially for a large shooting brake weighing around 2.8 tonnes.
Notably, the Malaysia-spec model features a suspension and damping setup tuned close to European market specifications.
This is arguably the most groundbreaking technical highlight of the Z9GT.
The Z9GT is the first vehicle in Malaysia to support BYD's revolutionary Megawatt Flash Charging technology. Built on a 1,000V high-voltage architecture, it utilises Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology —integrating the battery pack directly into the chassis. This design not only improves torsional rigidity but also significantly lowers the vehicle's centre of gravity.
Powering the car is BYD's second-generation LFP Blade Battery, with its capacity bumped up to 122.49 kWh from the previous model's 100 kWh. Its energy density has also improved by around 5% compared with the first-generation Blade Battery.
The charging speeds are truly game-changing. When plugged into BYD's proprietary 1,500 kW (1.5 MW) Flash Charger:
10% → 70%: approx. 5 minutes
10% → 97%: approx. 9 minutes
For context, conventional DC fast charging (150-350 kW) typically takes 30 to 40 minutes for a 10-80% charge. The Z9GT's charging times effectively mirror the time it takes to refuel a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle.
As for range, it is rated at 701 km under the NEDC cycle, which translates to a more realistic WLTP-rated range of around 600 km.
Importantly, BYD Malaysia has confirmed plans to progressively roll out Megawatt Flash Charging stations locally, with initial installations targeted at selected Denza showrooms and service centres. Crucially, these high-power chargers will not be exclusive to BYD and Denza owners, but will be open to all EV brands.
Additionally, the first 99 buyers will enjoy 3 years of complimentary Flash Charging service (terms and conditions apply).
The most impressive feat of the e³ platform is not its straight-line speed, but its sheer maneuverability.
The Z9GT comes standard with active rear-wheel steering, allowing the rear wheels to turn up to a massive 20 degrees. What this means in the real world is that this 5.18-metre-long shooting brake has a turning radius of just 4.62 metres—a figure comparable to an A-segment hatchback.
Beyond standard rear-wheel steering, the e³ platform leverages independent torque vectoring across the dual rear motors to enable three advanced smart functions:
Crab Mode: The wheels steer in the same direction, allowing the car to glide diagonally.
Pencil Compass Turn: The system locks the front inside wheel while driving the rear wheels in opposite directions, allowing the car to pivot on the spot to ease out of tight spots.
e³ Parking: An automated parking feature that utilises rear-wheel steering to guide the rear end into tight parking bays with surgical precision.
Suspension-wise, the Z9GT is equipped with BYD's DiSUS-A (Intelligent Air Suspension) system. The dual-chamber air suspension setup dynamically adjusts damping and stiffness to suit varying road surfaces and driving styles.
Furthermore, it features a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function capable of outputting up to 4 kW, allowing users to power high-draw appliances or outdoor equipment.
The ownership package for the Z9GT is highly competitive, comprising:
6-year or 150,000 km vehicle warranty
6-year complimentary scheduled service (approximately RM 10,000)
8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty
8-year or 160,000 km drive unit warranty
The first 99 customers will receive a complimentary DENZA × Devialet wireless headphone worth RM 2,000
Who is this car for?
If you crave supercar performance (1,156 PS, 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds), want a practical yet engaging family hauler, and want to experience next-generation charging speeds—the Z9GT has absolutely no direct rival at RM 358,800.
Who should think twice?
If you are concerned about the rollout schedule of the Megawatt Flash Charging network, or worry about manoeuvring a vehicle that spans over 5.18 metres in tight Malaysian parking lots (despite the brilliant 4.62-metre turning radius), you might want to wait and see how the charging infrastructure develops.
At RM 358,800, a shooting brake pushing 1,156 PS, doing 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, and boasting megawatt flash charging represents an unprecedented value proposition in Malaysia's 2026 EV landscape. It is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive EV on sale, but it is currently the only vehicle that packages supercar-crushing power, ultra-fast charging, Crab Mode, and Compass Turn under one roof.
