BYD’s new 5-seat luxury SUV brings big screens, big range, and starts at about $40,000

BYD launched the Denza N8 EV in China, a five-seat luxury SUV that promises more than 1,000 km (621 miles) of CLTC range, a tech-filled cabin, and plenty of premium extras.

Another day, another new BYD vehicle is now on sale in China. After opening preorders for the Denza N8 EV a few weeks ago, BYD held the grand launch event on Thursday.

The new N8 EV, or “the king of large 5-seater pure electric vehicles,” as Denza called it, is available in six variants, including four battery-electric (EV) and two plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain options.

The all-electric Denza N8 starts at 269,900 yuan, or about $40,500, with prices ranging up to 329,900 yuan ($49,500) for the Flagship model. The PHEV models start at 300,900 yuan and 32,900 yuan, respectively.

Measuring 5,150 mm long, 1,999 mm wide, and 1,820 mm high, with a 3,075 mm wheelbase, the Denza N8 EV is slightly longer than the Kia EV9 and Hyundai IONIQ 9.

Inside, the interior is pretty over the top with a huge 30″ panoramic infotainment screen that stretches nearly the entire passenger-side dashboard. There’s also a new 43″ (1.1 meter) panoramic head-up display (PHUD) at the bottom of the windshield.

BYD added a few premium extras like front and rear zero-gravity seats, a drop-down ceiling entertainment screen, ambient lighting, and wireless phone chargers.

The Denza N8 is offered with a single rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or a tri-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain. The RWD variant uses a single motor that delivers either 320 kW (429 hp) or 370 kW (496 hp), depending on the configuration.
