Denza has confirmed UK pricing and specifications of its seven-seat premium D9 MPV.
Available to order now, the D9 I comes in two trim levels: the entry level Elegance is priced from £75,000 MRRP and the Ultimate from £85,000.
Both models are supported by a Super Hybrid Dual Mode Intelligent and All-Wheel Drive (DM-i AWD) plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The powertrain consists of two electric motors: a front-mounted unit produces 231PS, while a rear motor provides a further 61PS.
In most situations, these two motors drive the wheels alone, but during greater torque demands, they are backed up by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
In most driving situations, this 120PS four-cylinder engine serves as a generator for the battery and electric motors. The DM-i AWD powertrain allows the D9 to accelerate from 0-62mph in 8.6 seconds.
It has ambitious claims for its Flash charging technology. The D9 battery is said to recharge from 10-70% in five minutes, 10-97% in nine minutes, while a 20-97% charge takes 12 minutes.
The D9 is said to travel up to 130 miles on a full charge, while the assistance of the petrol engine for longer journeys enables a range of 590 miles on a full charge and a full tank of fuel.
