BYD’s luxury brand Denza has released the first India-focused teaser of the electric shooting brake Z9 GT ahead of its entry in India. This teaser shows a glimpse of the exterior and cabin of the car. The Denza will officially debut in India on 13 November 2026 and the Z9 GT will be included in the initial lineup along with the D9 MPV. Both models are expected to hit the market by the end of the year.
These will be imported as CBU i.e. completely built units. The estimated price of Z9 GT is said to be between Rs 1.2 crore to Rs 1.5 crore (ex-showroom). The brand will also run its own retail network, which will be separate from BYD showrooms. This shooting brake is bringing a rare body style to India and can create a new stir in the luxury electric segment.
