Nobody expected such success: Denza N9 Black Warrior breaks sales records

BYD has seen record demand for its new premium SUV, the Denza N9 Black Warrior Edition, which was unveiled just a week ago.


Already in the first hour after the start of sales, the manufacturer sold more than 1000 copies of the model, which exceeded even the most optimistic expectations.

The flagship SUV was developed as a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X7, Aito M9 and Li Auto L9. From a technical and conceptual point of view, the model is a premium SUV.


The dimensions of the model are impressive: length 5258 mm, width 2030 mm, height 1830 mm with a wheelbase of 3125 mm. car has a six-seat 2+2+2 layout with individual second-row seats.

Buyers have a choice of four body styles – black, white, grey and green. There is also a variety of interior shades, but not that many: either grey or beige.

The model is based on the proprietary Yisanfang platform, which provides the ability to steer the rear wheels. Thanks to this, the functions of turning on the spot and diagonal movement - the so-called "crab gait" - became available.


This allows the car to maneuver in confined spaces, which is especially important for urban use of such a large SUV.

Technically, the model is a plug-in hybrid. It includes a 2,0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 207 hp and three electric motors with a total output of 924 hp.

The electric-only range in the CLTC cycle is more than 200 km, and if you also use a full fuel tank, you can travel up to 1300 km.


The SUV is equipped with a new generation Yunniang-A air suspension and Tianshenzhiyan B intelligent driving system. The latter includes lidar, multiple cameras and sensors for semi-autonomous control.

The starting price of the model is about $55000 or 4,62 million rubles, which makes it an attractive alternative to German flagships with a comparable level of equipment.

The stunning start of sales and the rush demand confirm that Chinese brands are no longer simply catching up with the premium segment, but are beginning to transform it.


The Denza N9 Black Warrior Edition SUV is the embodiment of a new wave in the industry, where performance, comfort and digital technology are successfully combined in one product.
