The Denza N8 and the preceding Denza X are plug-in hybrid and battery electric mid-size crossover SUVs. The original Denza X was first launched in Guangzhou Auto Show 2019 by Denza, originally a joint venture between Chinese automaker BYD Auto and German luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz.

The Denza X was sold from 2019 to 2021 as a restyled second generation BYD Tang and after Mercedes-Benz withdrew from the joint venture, the Denza X was replaced by the Denza N8 as a major facelift. According to Denza, the "N" from the N8 means "New era of intelligence" and "unlimited driving control".[1]

Denza X (2019)

The Denza X was originally introduced at the Guangzhou Auto Show as the Denza Concept X. The concept version is 7-seat crossover SUV based on the second generation BYD Tang. The Denza X will be available from early 2020 in two versions including an all-electric variant and a plug-in hybrid version. The all-electric Denza X is set to have a range of 500 kilometres (311 mi) and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) could be done in less than 5 seconds.[2]

The production Denza X was launched in two versions just as planned, including an all-electric and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). According to the plan, the PHEV version will cost 319,800 Chinese yuan and the all-electric one will cost 289,800 Chinese yuan when starting production and sales.
