Denza D9 Battery and Range
The D9 is quite heavy and has a gross weight of 2,915 Kg. In order to move such a heavy MPV, Denza D9 comes powered with a 115.07 kWh BYD blade battery pack integrated with a front-wheel drive (FWD) setup.
POWER: The single-motor FWD generates 462 Hp of maximum power output and 365 Nm of peak torque, with a claimed NEDC certified range of 730 Km and a 0-100 km/hr sprint time of 8.5 seconds.
CHARGING: The all-electric MPV supports DC fast charging that can charge the batteries from 10-97% in a staggering 9 minutes (Claimed). It also comes with 11 kW AC charging.
SUSPENSION: The D9 comprises MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear, paired with dual-valve DiSus- C semi-active dampers. It also gets ventilated disc brakes at both ends.
The D9 is priced at a premium side and will provide stiff competition to the MG M9 (Rs 79.95 Lakh) and all-electric alternative to luxury MPVs such as Toyota Vellfire (Rs 1.20 Crore to Rs 1.30 Crore) and Mercedes-Benz V-Class (Rs 1.40 Crore).
