THE DENZA Z9 GT IS A 1000 HP MEGA WAGON

EV Channels Review

The Denza Z9 GT emerges as a compelling contender in China's burgeoning electric wagon market, boasting impressive power figures and a striking design, albeit with a polarizing rear. The vehicle offers two powertrain options: a pure EV producing up to 960 horsepower and a PHEV variant. While official cargo capacity is unstated, it appears generous, complemented by electrically folding rear seats. The Z9 GT distinguishes itself with advanced features like 10-degree rear steering, enabling a remarkably tight turning radius, and a unique 'Compass Turn' maneuver. Performance is strong, with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds for the EV. The interior offers a luxurious experience with a three-screen setup, a zero-gravity passenger seat, and dual refrigerators, though the UI is noted as not cutting-edge. The air suspension, a significant improvement over previous Denza models, provides a sportier and more engaging driving experience, though the high seating position is a drawback. Priced competitively, with the electric Max trim starting around $47,000, the Z9 GT presents a strong value proposition, making it the most desirable Denza model tested to date.
