BYD reveals new Denza N8 range reaches over 1,000 km

The Denza N8 first went on sale in China in 2023, a mid-to-large size luxury SUV. It was initially available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a combined CLTC range of 1,003 km (623 miles) on a full charge and full tank of fuel.

The PHEV version was sold in six and seven-seat configurations, but discontinued after less than a year due to sluggish sales.

For the new model, BYD is upgrading it with an all-electric powertrain, and its latest batteries, charging, and other related vehicle components.
