2025 DENZA Z9 GT REVIEW: I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY GERMAN CAR COMPANIES ARE SO SCARED OF CHINA

EV Channels Review

The Denza Z9 GT is presented as a compelling, albeit wild, luxury shooting brake that challenges established German performance wagons. The reviewer highlights its absurd power output, with a combined 640 kW and 1035 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in a tested 5.66 seconds. While the interior is lauded for its premium materials, extensive adjustability of the seats, and features like a fridge and crystal shifter, the rear seat leg angle is criticized for being poor due to a raised floor. The exterior styling, initially divisive, grows on the reviewer, particularly the side and rear profiles. Dynamically, the car is described as comfortable thanks to air suspension, but the reviewer notes inconsistencies in torque vectoring, leading to occasional understeer, and a steering feel that is somewhat artificial. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer concludes that for its intended purpose of daily driving with occasional bursts of extreme acceleration, the Z9 GT is exceptionally capable and offers immense value, especially considering its estimated price point, which is significantly lower than its German rivals.
