Denza N8 electric vehicle launched in China with a range of up to 1,003 km
BYD has launched the Denza N8 electric vehicle in China: six versions are priced at 40,500–49,500 dollars, with a range of up to 1,003 km under the CLTC cycle.
The Denza N8 was officially introduced to the Chinese market as a five-seater electric vehicle. It complements the six-seater N8L and is designed for buyers who prioritize ride comfort and luggage capacity over a third row of seats. A plug-in hybrid version is promised to be released later.
The vehicle is built on the e3 platform and features the second generation of Blade batteries, Flash Charging rapid charging, the DiSus-A intelligent air suspension, an all-wheel steering chassis, and the God’s Eye 5.0 intelligent driving and multimedia system. Instead of physical buttons, the cabin is equipped with a 30-inch panoramic display and a 1.1-meter-wide Skyline screen.
By forgoing the third row, the luggage compartment reaches a volume of 1,046 liters. The rear bench can be folded in a 4/6 ratio, creating an almost flat cargo area for bicycles and camping gear. The Denza N8 measures 5,150 × 1,999 × 1,820 mm, with a wheelbase of 3,075 mm. The model is 50 mm shorter in length than the N8L.
The Denza N8 is available with rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel-drive versions with a single electric motor deliver 320 or 370 kW, while the all-wheel-drive variant with three motors—one in the front and two in the rear—produces 890 kW, or 1,193 hp. This configuration supports special maneuvers, including a pivot turn and intelligent slow driving.
Buyers can choose from batteries with capacities of 105.8 and 130.2 kWh. Depending on the configuration, the range is 800, 840, 970, or 1,003 km under the CLTC cycle; estimated WLTP values range from 648 to 812 km. The manufacturer claims a full battery charge in nine minutes using the Flash Charging system.
