DENZA N7 DRIVEN - THE BYD FOR THOSE WITH DEEP POCKETS

EV Channels Review

The Denza N7 presents a compelling, albeit imperfect, entry into the premium electric SUV segment. The reviewer highlights its excellent performance, particularly the dual-motor AWD variant's rapid acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds), and praises the luxurious interior, replete with high-quality materials like Nappa leather, real wood, and a suede headliner. The advanced DiSus air suspension system, while offering adjustability, is noted as a mixed bag, sometimes too harsh on rough surfaces and too soft on undulating roads, failing to consistently deliver a premium ride. The dual charging ports and impressive augmented reality head-up display are standout tech features. However, the reviewer points out usability issues with touch-sensitive controls on the dashboard that are difficult to see in daylight and a complex infotainment menu system. Real-world range also falls short of optimistic CLTC figures, with the car consuming more energy than expected. Despite these drawbacks, the N7 is considered a sporty and distinct offering, providing good value for those prioritizing performance and a premium feel over perfect ride comfort.
