The Denza EV, Denza 400 and the Denza 500 are different names of a Chinese electric car produced by Denza, a joint venture between BYD Auto and Daimler AG.[3][4][5][6]
Description
A March 2018 preview report said that features include LED lamps front and back, cold weather capability, and a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation info from Baidu Maps that can also help locate charging stations. There were 112,000 such stations in China at the time. The new vehicle was to be sold at select Mercedes-Benz dealers in China.[7]
The 2018 facelift[clarification needed] also resulted in a restyled front fascia, rear bumper and tail lamps, an updated interior, and a name change to Denza 500. Range of the Denza 500 is said[according to whom?] to be 451 kilometres (280 miles) measured by the NEDC standard. This is the latest[citation needed] version of the Denza electric car made exclusively for the Chinese market.[8]
The battery pack of the Denza 500 was upgraded to 70 kWh from the previous 62 kWh of the Denza EV. According to Denza, the consumption is 15.9 kWh per 100 kilometres, and a range of 635 kilometres (394 miles) could be achieved.[9][10]

An earlier electric car from Denza was the Denza EV, which was previewed as a concept car by Denza at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, and was further tested as a prototype during the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show.[11][12][13] The Denza EV is based on the same platform as the Mercedes-Benz B-Class while the electric powertrain comes from the BYD e6 electric car producing 137 kW (184 hp) on Front wheels motor with the top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph). [citation needed] It was reintroduced in 2016 as the Denza 400 with a larger battery.[14][15]
The Denza EV had a range of 352 km (218 mi) when launched in 2014; in 2017, Denza had launched a 400 km (248 mi) version.[16][17]
