The Denza Z (Chinese: 腾势Z; pinyin: Téngshì Z) is a battery electric sports car produced by BYD Auto and sold under its Denza marque since 2026.

Denza Z Concept (2025)

During the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show on April 23, 2025, Denza presented the Z as a concept car, sharing design cues with the Fangchengbao Super 9 concept which preceded it.[1][2]

The interior features a fold-away steering wheel. A steer-by-wire system is used.[1] It has a large spoiler alongside a front splitter and rear diffuser. It will also have a roll cage.[3] Denza chose to position the mirrors on the doors, with integrated side-view cameras. The windows are frameless, with the door handles using a hidden design.[4]

The first spyshots of the Z showed up on June 6, 2025.[4] A prototype was also spotted with missing bodywork and foam on the body on the 16th of the same month.[5]

In late June 2025, spyshots were released of a convertible version of the Z. This confirmed that the Z would also offer a convertible version.[6][7]

On October 22, 2025, photos surfaced of a prototype Z being tested on the Nürburgring in Germany. The prototype used also had tires supplied by Giti Tire.[8] The following month, it was confirmed that the United Kingdom would be the first country the Z would be exported to.[3]

A naming contest for the Z opened on March 23, 2026. The contest is limited to submitting suffixes for the model, as the naming contest will be used to decide the names for the Z's three versions: hardtop coupe, convertible, and track versions.[9]

The English actor Daniel Craig, who has played the character James Bond for 5 films in the franchise between 2006 and 2021, will be part of the marketing for the Z. It was announced in late March 2026. The Z will officially make its debut at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed.[10]

The Z is being offered as a 4-seater and was designed by Wolfgang Egger, the current head designer of the BYD group and former lead designer for Audi, Lamborghini, and Alfa Romeo.[1] In addition to being offered as a coupe, the Z will also be available as a convertible, being confirmed by spyshots of the Z.[6] It is scheduled to launch in 2026.[11]

Overview

The Z was officially unveiled at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show on 24 April 2026, first in "Spider" (convertible) form.[12]

Design

The Z retains the design of the 2025 Z Concept. The headlights have been compared to the Lamborghini Aventador. Large air intakes are present at the front.[13] Its cabin becomes narrower from the B-pillar onwards. Flush door handles are also utilized, though they are mechanical and do not pop out to comply with the latest Chinese safety standards. The taillights use a "double diamond" design, with the rear being redesigned compared to the concept.[4]

Powertrain and chassis

There is no specific power output confirmed for the Z. It is rumored to produce at least 1,000 horsepower (750 kW; 1,000 PS), and it also shares the e3 (YiSanFang) platform with the Denza Z9.[3][14] however it was also said to use the same electric motors as the Tang L and the Han L, meaning the power output is expected to be no less than 778 horsepower (580 kW; 789 PS).[6] At some point it was also expected to produce 536 horsepower (400 kW; 543 PS) and use a dual-motor layout.[5]

The front suspension uses a double wishbone setup.[8] It will also debut BYD's Disus-M body control system.[15]
