"Denza Z9 GT Is Coming To Europe To Undercut Porsche Taycan" - article & video

[Tooney]

Denza owner BYD has announced its plan to bring the Z9 GT to Europe, where it will be a cheaper alternative to its main rivals.

• The Denza Z9 GT has just been launched in China where it starts at around $47,500.
• Denza owner BYD has announced its plan to bring the Z9 GT to Europe.
• The Z9 GT is a large, luxurious electric wagon that will rival the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo and the BMW i5 Touring.

Performance electric wagons are a rarity, so the arrival of a brand new one whose three electric motors make nearly 1,000 horsepower is a big deal. BYD-owned Denza just pulled the wraps off its Z9 GT, a Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo competitor from China, which will be available with either pure electric and plug-in hybrid power (so it will also rival the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo).

? They can undercut Dacia.

That rear end ?. I’m happy to pay double or triple for a Taycan. It just is the best looking wagon there is. And a big no against chinese spyware shit in my car.

Taycan contains no ECUs or other software-controlled devices from China?

I’m not denying that. Chinese owned and funded is a different story. Name one government that had chinese cars in there fleet. None, and that should tell us enough

It's another player in the market.
Not less, but certainly not more.
Indeed the looks are hideous.
Let's see the chassis quality, the brakes, the ride.
Power is not everything.
This would not pull me away from my Taycan for a second, but others will buy it.

They've even ripped-off the Porsche alloy wheel design - unbelievable.

Still, would you rather have a BYD or a Porsche sitting outside your home?

 

[bigkraig]

i mean it would be nice to have competition if it keeps prices in check, but i dont know that this is it

 

[FlyingPoint]

Does not look so terrible, however I would not own a Chinese vehicle under any circumstance. No need to elucidate.

While imitation is a form of flattery, I bought a Taycan, and will buy more, for a few of these reasons.

Ugly exterior design but the interior looks way more luxurious than my plasticky Taycan.

Three words: MADE IN CHINA!
Not a chance in hell I'd buy it!

The biggest fault of the Taycan for my use is it is far too big, this thing is bigger!

I would love Porsche to make a Taycan about the size of a 1-Series, maybe a little bigger, or a Macan sized sedan.

I can remember years ago when 'made in Japan' had exactly the same connotation.
The video review shows the Denza has interior features that surpass Taycan options.
Porsche better up its game.
