BYD is making waves in the EV industry with the Denza Z, an affordable sports car-inspired electric coupe that rivals luxury models. Unveiled at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show as part of BYD’s Denza brand, the Denza Z has been marked as a serious competitor to both Tesla and Porsche.
The Denza Z utilizes BYD’s e3 platform and a tri-motor setup to ensure optimal torque distribution and deliver exceptional performance at high speeds. The Denza Z9 GT has been confirmed to produce 952 bhp, suggesting the Denza Z could also reach well over 1,000 bhp.
A pioneering feature is its steer-by-wire system, which replaces conventional steering and ensures swift response. It features magnetorheological dampers that ensure a comfortable ride at any speed.
The futuristic interior of the Denza Z matches its record-breaking speed. The steering wheel folds flat to free up more room inside the car, and the simple design of the cabin creates an up-to-date and streamlined atmosphere. You can choose between a coupe or a convertible, whichever looks best to you.
The Denza Z offers all the eco-friendly advantages of an EV — no emissions, no oil changes, and a silent, efficient performance.
What really distinguishes this car is that it can be had for a surprisingly low price. The Denza Z is set to bring the thrill of a high-end sports car within reach for more people than ever before. There’s no word on when the car will hit the market but the finished prototype indicates it could be available soon. The Denza Z from BYD marks a new chapter in the evolution of electric performance.
