The Denza Z9 (Chinese: 腾势Z9; pinyin: Téngshì Z9) is a battery electric executive car produced by Denza, a joint venture between Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto and Mercedes-Benz AG. Introduced in April 2024 at the Beijing Auto Show, the Z9 is currently available as a 5-door shooting brake or station wagon / estate marketed as the Z9 GT. A more traditional sedan version will be available later.[1][2][3]
