On October 22, outside the lobby building of the Denza Headquarters in Shenzhen, the official departure ceremony for the first batch of APEC official designated vehicles, themed 'Shenzhen Takes Off, China Denza', was officially held. Nearly 700 Denza vehicles were ready for departure, with over 600 units being the second-generation Denza D9, which will provide high-spec travel support in November 2026 for high-ranking officials, delegations, and overseas and domestic media of the 21 economies at the APEC meeting.

At the departure ceremony scene, Denza Auto General Manager Li Hui: "Denza involvement in global major events is never just a slogan, but hard power tested by numerous international grand events. Today, cars made in Shenzhen welcome an international grand event organized in Shenzhen, this is not only Shenzhen's green answer sheet to the world, but also a contemporary footnote to the upward development of China's automotive industry — Shenzhen Takes Off, China Denza!"

Shenzhen Hosts the World, China Denza Bears Heavy Responsibilities

This year marks China's third time hosting the APEC meeting, and Shenzhen's first time hosting this top-level international grand event. In past international large-scale conferences, high-end reception vehicles were long occupied by overseas luxury brands, in the market's default evaluation system, 'Foreign Luxury' was almost equivalent to 'Diplomatic Reception Standards'. This time, BYD, as the 2026 APEC meeting official partner, with the Denza brand undertaking core travel service guarantees, means this industry convention lasting for many years is being completely rewritten.

The screening for official designated vehicles for world-class conferences has never been a single-product competition, but a systematic verification of the brand's full-chain capabilities. From vehicle safety, stability, supply scale, to service team dispatch response, cross-scenario adaptation capabilities, every link must undergo multiple rounds of strict verification.

That Denza could secure a service order of nearly 700 units, behind it is the industry-unprecedented large-scale delivery and synchronous guarantee capability — this not only requires the brand to complete the centralized delivery of hundreds of high-quality vehicles in a short time, but also build an operation, dispatch, and emergency response system covering the entire conference cycle, this level of comprehensive service capability belongs to the first tier in the global high-end MPV market.

Top Grand Event 'Regular Guest': Denza D9 Product Power and Service Dual Verification

Before this APEC departure ceremony, Denza D9 had already completed the service landing of multiple top-level international grand events in 2026: from guest reception at the Boao Forum for Asia, to full-scenario business commuting at the China-ASEAN Expo, and to travel support at the Summer Davos Forum, Denza D9 has become a 'regular guest' in top-level political and business activities. This high-frequency top-level scenario landing is not a coincidental marketing cooperation, but a natural result after product strength and service capabilities were repeatedly verified.

As a high-end new energy brand under BYD, the Denza D9 is equipped with the DiSus-C Intelligent Damping Body Control System, relying on the Road Preview 2.0 technology, can adjust suspension stiffness at the millisecond level, achieving a driving experience of 'no head lift when starting, no nodding when braking, no motion sickness when riding', perfectly adapting to the extreme requirements for stability in diplomatic reception. Its second-row zero-gravity aviation seats are equipped with 16-point massage, ventilation and heating functions, combined with 'Privacy Sound Shield' acoustic isolation technology, creating an independent private negotiation space inside the vehicle, meeting the needs of prestige and business privacy simultaneously during mobile travel. While the low fuel consumption and long range characteristics brought by DM-i Super Hybrid Technology, and the supercharging capability of the pure electric version's 800V high-voltage platform, also allow the centralized dispatch of hundreds of vehicles and long-distance cross-regional travel to be freed from energy replenishment anxiety.

At the market end, Denza D9 also turned in a phenomenological industry report: Since its launch in 2022, cumulative sales have broken through 350,000 units, winning the Chinese all-category MPV annual sales championship for three consecutive years, becoming the world's first new energy MPV to reach this milestone, while topping the list of '2026 Hurun China New Energy MPV Brand TOP10'. From the user structure perspective, 90% of Denza D9 users come from additional purchases or trade-ins, among whom 50% come from converting from traditional luxury brands, even including many Rolls-Royce and Bentley owners, this cross-layer user recognition allows Denza D9 to break out of the traditional positioning of 'New Energy Substitute', truly establishing a luxury value system belonging to Chinese brands.

Denza's APEC Moment is a New Starting Point for Chinese Automotive Globalization

Nearly 700 Denza units serving APEC, the industry impact of this matter, far exceeds a single brand exposure. It is equivalent to handing over a 'China Card' to the global luxury MPV market: In the past, when global users mentioned high-end MPVs, the first thought was overseas brands, now, Denza uses actual service performance at world-class grand events, to redefine the standards of 'Luxury New Energy MPV'.

Before this, Denza had already secured the first place in luxury MPV sales in multiple Southeast Asian countries, even in mature automotive markets like Singapore, Denza D9's sales price exceeded traditional imported luxury MPVs, and still gained recognition from a large number of high-end users. And this global communication of this APEC, is equivalent to giving Denza's globalization path a most weighty 'credit endorsement' — in the future, political and business activities in more countries globally, high-end users, will all, because of the travel experience of this world-class grand event, re-understand the strength of Chinese luxury new energy vehicles.

When over 600 second-generation Denza D9s slowly drove out from the Shenzhen headquarters, what this departure ceremony carried, was long not just travel support for a meeting. It is a green smart manufacturing card handed by Shenzhen to the world, but also a contemporary footnote to China's automotive industry moving from 'Chasers' to 'Leaders'. On the track of the global new energy vehicle industry, Chinese brands represented by Denza, are redefining the standards of luxury MPVs, also showing the world, the upward breakthrough of China's automotive industry, has already moved from the product market, truly to the center of the world stage. (Written by Chen)

Shenzhen hosted APEC for the first time, and the first batch of "face" (ambassadors) sent out were Denza.

On October 22, at BYD Headquarters, dozens of D9 and N9 vehicles covered with APEC car wraps lined up, no slogans, no pretense, directly driving to the November venue. Nearly 700 vehicles, with over 600 being D9s, serving guests, delegations, and overseas media from 21 economies.

This looks like event support, but looking deeper, it means Chinese premium new energy vehicles have truly taken their seat at the world's diplomatic front row.

Shenzhen's showcase relies not on over-specification

APEC is not a regular expo. 21 economies, dense schedule, route changes anytime, round-the-clock reception rhythm. Requirements for cars are strict: no breakdowns, no VIP waiting, no embarrassing moments captured by cameras.

In the past, hosts usually sought established luxury brands to back the occasion. Behind that "prudence" lay the default answer formed by decades of diplomatic protocol.

But this time is different. Shenzhen hosted APEC for the first time, choosing Denza. Not just a few display cars for decoration, but nearly 700 units entering on a large scale, giving the main role to a Chinese brand new energy MPV.

Behind this lies a simple logic: Shenzhen itself is the face of China's new energy industry. Cars leaving here should best represent the city's true level in batteries, electronic control, smart cockpits, and whole vehicle manufacturing. Asking others to take over feels less like Shenzhen.

So the theme "Shenzhen Soars, China Denza" is not marketing jargon. It clearly states one thing: The city's level has reached the mark, and local brands can handle it.

D9 can handle the job, relying on more than just the three words "luxury feel"

What are foreign affairs vehicles most afraid of? Not that configurations aren't flashy enough, but failing under high-pressure scenarios.

An international conference, a fleet might cover more than a dozen points in a day, driver shifts, random road conditions, VIPs getting in/out cannot be slow, luggage cannot miss a single item. For this job, sitting comfortably is just the passing line.

For Denza D9 to be selected as the main force, look at a few real skills first.

Charging must be fast. The 2nd Gen D9 uses 2nd Gen Blade Battery and Flash Charge, rated at refueling a segment in about 5 minutes, nearly full in 9 minutes, just 3 minutes more in low temp. Fleets fear charging queues; shorter refueling windows mean more calm dispatching.

Space must be truly usable. MPVs fear "looks big, can't load". D9 re-arranged the chassis via Yuan Super Integrated Power Platform, 7 seats full still leaves 882L trunk. For foreign affairs travel with large luggage and office equipment, no need to choose between "people or cargo".

Safety must be a guarantee. 75% high-strength steel, 9 airbags, plus AEB, AES, ESA this 3A active protection, crosswinds, blowouts have stable control. The first principle of diplomatic vehicles is: nothing happens. Quietly delivering people is the highest level of safety.

Comfort must be understated. Semi-aniline leather, cloud velvet seats, 16-point massage, Cloud Suspension-C preview, not to let guests say "this car is so soft", but to let guests remain relaxed after the long transfer.

These capabilities individually are not mystical, stacking them is where value lies: it means a car can run continuously in high-intensity meetings, stay in character, cause no trouble.

Plus AI cockpit "DidiXia" details, voiceprint recognition, memory, chat capability, foreign guests don't need to study buttons, speak and use. The level of Chinese smart cockpits now doesn't need translation to the world, the car speaks for itself.

Sales have actually pre-verified the quality. D9 launched from 2022 to now breaking 350,000 units, 2023 to 2025 won Chinese MPV sales champion for three consecutive years, Hurun New Energy MPV list also first. The meaning of 350,000 units is not good numbers, it's supply chain, quality control, after-sales were repeatedly tested by the real market. State affairs activities have zero tolerance, exactly trusting cars "massively used".

World protocol, Chinese cars caught it

Denza actually hasn't been idle this year. Boao Asian Forum, China-ASEAN Expo, Summer Davos, APEC Forestry Ministers' Meeting, D9 missed none.

The value added up from these scenarios is more real than any ad spend: it practices not "how to drive the car there", but driver training, route plans, emergency mechanisms, multilingual services, cross-timezone dispatch, the whole set of hard work.

Waiting for Shenzhen APEC this grand performance, nearly 700 cars entering together, is the real big exam.

More crucially, perception has changed.

A few years ago, Chinese luxury cars going global were often assumed to be "value-for-money players". D9 in SE Asia, Singapore, some European markets, price already hits traditional imported luxury MPV range, still people buy, shows users are not chasing cheap, but recognizing the product.

APEC pushes this one step further: When political/business guests, media reporters, and accompanying staff from various countries get in and out of Denza daily, after returning their imagination of "Chinese Luxury" will change from "Pretty good" to "So it's already like this".

This isn't just Denza's matter. It's credit endorsement for the whole Chinese new energy high-end camp: We not only make cheap easy-to-drive family cars, but also can make world-class protocol standards.

In the past saying "World's big matters involve Denza" sounds like a brand claim. Now, it is a fact happening right now.

On October 22, Denza Automobile held the launch ceremony for the first batch of officially designated vehicles for the 2026 APEC meeting at the BYD headquarters in Shenzhen. Dozens of second-generation Denza D9s and Denza N9s bearing official meeting logos were delivered on-site and will subsequently be deployed for meeting traffic support. According to the plan, the 2026 APEC meeting will be held in Shenzhen in November. This is the third time China has hosted the APEC and the first time Shenzhen is hosting this international conference. As an official partner of this meeting, Denza provided nearly 700 vehicles to transport representatives from each economy, delegation members, and registered media, with the Denza D9 accounting for more than 600 units.

Regarding the reason for Denza's selection, Li Hui, General Manager of Denza, stated in an interview after the ceremony that the conference organizers had specific requirements for safety, technical level, and ride experience when screening reception vehicles, and Denza was ultimately selected after multiple rounds of communication.

He also mentioned that in recent years, domestic new energy vehicles have frequently appeared at various international conferences, the root cause being the development of the industry itself. China's monthly penetration rate for new energy vehicles has exceeded 60%, and the acceptance of products and technology in overseas markets continues to improve. The selection of Chinese models for international conferences objectively reflects changes in the competitiveness of China's automotive industry.

Safety is the most frequently mentioned topic in the interview. Li Hui explained that active and passive safety run through Denza's product development: regarding passive safety, it uses a five-star safety architecture and cage-form high-strength steel body; regarding active safety, the e-Platform 3.0 supports millisecond-level response. Official test indicators cover scenarios such as crosswind stability, high-speed avoidance, slippery road handling, and stability during tire blowouts, with relevant performance leading the industry. Meanwhile, the BYD Blade Battery has passed tests such as nail penetration and high-intensity impact, and the Denza N9 also achieved the highest score among more than 200 models tested in the C-IASI collision safety evaluation.

On the other hand, behind the selection of vehicles for international conference reception there are also considerations regarding brand internationalization. Li Hui recalled that in earlier years when the APEC meeting was held in China, Mercedes-Benz was rented as the vehicle for VIPs, while this time a Chinese brand undertook the reception task, reflecting the development of Chinese high-end automotive brands to a certain extent. According to his introduction, the Denza D9 has currently entered markets such as Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK, France, and Brazil, and the Denza N9 is also on the market in multiple major European countries. In terms of pricing, the D9 and Z9GT in overseas markets are equivalent to nearly 1 million RMB, higher than domestic prices.

Li Hui also revealed subsequent product arrangements: the five-seater SUV Denza N8 will begin reservations on October 26 and officially launch in November; the urban super sports car Denza Z is planned to launch domestically by the end of the year. Regarding overseas markets, models such as N8 and N9 will be launched in batches by country and region, and Denza will also release several new models next year.

In terms of market performance, since the Denza D9 launched in 2022, cumulative sales have exceeded 350,000 units, ranking first in domestic MPV annual sales for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025. In the meeting vehicle field, apart from this APEC meeting, Denza also participated in traffic support for events such as the Boao Forum for Asia, the China-ASEAN Expo, and the Summer Davos Forum this year.

Recently, BYD Denza officially launched the second-generation Blade Battery and Super Charger technology in Indonesia. Denza Z9GT and Denza D9 went on sale simultaneously, and the first overseas fast-charging operation network was announced as completed. Charge fully in 5 minutes, charge to saturation in 9 minutes — this technical promise traveling from China to Jakarta signifies far more than two new cars entering a Southeast Asian market. It marks the first overseas landing of a complete strategic logic, and the first brand carrying this logic is Denza.

Fast Charging Exports, Delivering a Complete System

The core parameters of the second-generation Blade Battery are already well-known in the industry: charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes, and up to 97% takes only 9 minutes, with a single-gun power of 1500kW for fast-charging piles. But what is more worth paying attention to than charging speed is the overseas expansion method BYD has paired with this technology.

In Indonesia, the first step of the fast-charging network was not to spread to public charging stations, but to deploy fast-charging piles in 10 Denza dealer stores first, open them for public experience to the whole society, and gradually expand to the public network by the end of the year. This order is crucial. It means BYD did not wait for third-party charging operators to complete infrastructure, but built the piles into the car-selling scenarios themselves. When users walk into the Denza showroom, the charging experience and car purchasing decisions happen within the same physical space.

A deeper layout lies in the technical architecture of the fast-charging piles. BYD fast-charging stations equip each pile with an energy storage system, converting instantaneous high-power demand into a stable low-power load on the grid via a charge-storage-discharge mechanism. This design significantly reduces the fast-charging stations' reliance on local grid renovation — in a market like Indonesia with uneven grid infrastructure, this point is more replicable than the charging speed itself. Meanwhile, BYD is already cooperating with international energy companies such as Shell to explore the model of adding fast-charging piles within existing gas stations.

In other words, the Indonesian fast-charging network is not just a infrastructure statement accompanied by a product launch, but the first complete overseas output of a system verified in the Chinese domestic market — technology, energy storage, channels, cooperation models — . As of October 2026, BYD has built more than 12,000 fast-charging stations in China, covering 341 cities, and the construction plan for 6,000 overseas fast-charging stations has also been launched. Indonesia is the first test field for this system to go out of China.

Why is the first step Denza?

There is no shortage of brands under BYD. The Dynasty Network and Ocean Network have a massive sales base in the Chinese market, and Fang Cheng Bao is quickly gaining volume in the personalized market. But the launch rights of the first overseas fast-charging network have been handed to Denza.

This is directly related to Denza's positioning within the BYD system. Denza is the starting point of BYD's high-end strategy — in 2010, BYD and Daimler jointly founded Denza, positioning it for the high-end new energy market. Internally within BYD, Denza's brand proposition is Tech Safety New Luxury, undertaking the mainstream luxury market scale and forming a clear differentiated segmentation from other brands.

Fast charging is an experiential technology. Its value does not lie in the 9 minutes on the spec sheet, but in the moment when users see with their own eyes and operate with their own hands in the showroom, re-evaluating the brand's technical strength. Placing the fast-charging launch on Denza is equivalent to telling the market and consumers: this technology first serves high-end experiences, rather than cost-sensitive products for the mass market. The allocation of this technology launch right is itself part of BYD's high-end narrative.

The Indonesian market provides an explanation from another dimension. Denza D9 has already accumulated a sales base of over 10,000 units in Indonesia. For a high-end MPV, this number means Denza has already established preliminary brand awareness among the high-end consumer group in Indonesia. After the new D9 is equipped with the second-generation Blade Battery, the maximum power increases from 230kW to 340kW, and the range increases from 600km to 730km, which is a technical leap on the existing user base. Meanwhile, Z9GT enters the market with a pricing of 225 million Indonesian Rupiah, directly benchmarking the high-end GT sub-segment, needing fast-charging technology as a technical anchor for flagship identity.

Indonesia is More Than Just Indonesia

Taking a wider view, Indonesia's position in BYD's global map explains why the first stop for fast-charging overseas was chosen here.

In September 2026, BYD's intelligent industrial park factory located in Subang, West Java Province, officially commenced production, covering 126 hectares, with a planned annual capacity of 150,000 units, and all four major processes of stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly are complete. The positioning of this factory goes far beyond local manufacturing in Indonesia — it is an export hub for BYD facing the global right-hand drive market, and products will be shipped to Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and African right-hand drive countries.

This means the value of the Indonesian fast-charging network has duality. Locally in Indonesia, it serves the sales and user experience of the Denza brand; on a more macro level, it is the first stop for BYD to verify the feasibility of the fast-charging plus energy storage plus channel model in the right-hand drive market. If this system runs smoothly in Indonesia, the logic of replicating it to Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia is clear — the same right-hand drive models, the same fast-charging pile specifications, the same priority deployment strategy for stores.

BYD's market share in the Indonesian electric vehicle market has already broken through 37%, firmly holding the first place in the industry. Launching the fast-charging network first in a market where a market-dominant position has been established has controllable risks and clear sample significance. This is a path that first converts home-field advantage into system advantage, and then replicates the system advantage outward.

Auto Network Commentary: What is the significance of BYD doing this? On the surface, this is a combination of a technology launch plus a new car listing plus the completion of the charging network. But looking at the three actions together, what BYD is doing is: redefining the standard of electric vehicle energy replenishment experience in the overseas market. When the "charge fully in 5 minutes, charge to saturation in 9 minutes" technical tag from the Chinese market becomes a reality that Indonesian consumers can walk into Denza stores to experience personally, BYD is outputting not just a battery or a car, but a complete proposition about how electric vehicles should be used.

Handing the first step to Denza is affixing a high-end launch label to this proposition. Technology permeating downwards from a high-end brand is much easier than climbing upwards from a mass brand. The existing user base and brand awareness of Denza in Indonesia provided a suitable stage for the first appearance of fast-charging technology.

The right-hand drive export hub positioning of the Indonesian factory gives this stage a dual function of both a model room and a launch pad. The model that the fast-charging network runs smoothly in Indonesia is the standard answer for BYD facing the global right-hand drive market. The first page of this answer writes the name of Denza.

The 500,000 RMB MPV segment hasn't seen much activity in a long time.

On the evening of September 22, the VOYAH Dreamer 9 was launched at the National Speed Skating Oval, the Ice Ribbon, in Beijing. Six configurations, three trim levels, three PHEV and three pure electric models, priced from 419,900 RMB to 529,900 RMB. The price is 10,000 RMB cheaper than the pre-sale price opened on September 5. At that time, the pre-sale price was 429,900 RMB to 529,900 RMB. This 10,000 RMB looks small, but it directly pulls users who strictly stick to a budget under 500,000 RMB into the candidate list.

Let's talk about the pricing arrangement first. Within the same trim level, pure electric is always 10,000 RMB more expensive than PHEV; Ultra to Ultra+ costs 40,000 RMB more, and another 60,000 RMB more for Li Zun Edition. The entry and top trims differ exactly by 100,000 RMB. This pricing structure is quite standard, which is good for consumers — critical items like chassis, intelligent driving, and 800V are not forced onto the top trim. The main differences lie in the lifting emblem, two-tone body, side window dimming glass, exclusive wheel rims, and some luxury ambient parts. Ultra is positioned as a Family Tech Castle, Ultra+ as a Business Luxury Living Room, and Li Zun Edition follows an Eastern Craftsmanship route.

So the car selection logic is very direct: if budget is tight, look at Ultra; if you want to experience the full package, look at Ultra+; if you truly have business reception or image needs, consider the Li Zun Edition.

The 5.3-meter-long car has a turning radius of only 5.9 meters. My first reaction when I saw this data was that I checked wrong. With a length of 5,325 mm and a wheelbase of 3,200 mm, it has the body of a standard large MPV. By common sense, turning around in old residential garages and narrow roads is a nightmare. However, the whole series comes standard with 10-degree bi-directional rear-wheel steering, cutting the turning diameter by a full meter. The turning radius of many mid-size sedans is around 5.5 meters. The real beneficiaries are not high-speed lane changes, but the narrow road passing and garage maneuvers encountered daily.

The chassis is called Huju P, which VOYAH calls "The World's Best, China's Only", the country's first intelligent chassis independently developed and designed for flagship MPVs. Why did I pick this out to talk about? Because MPVs have a hidden ailment that most people don't realize before buying, but discover after taking delivery: high center of gravity, long wheelbase, and rear dizziness caused by electric drive acceleration and deceleration. This is one of the most concentrated areas for complaints, and this problem cannot be solved by adding ten seat massagers.

Three-chamber independent air springs plus dual-valve EDC, three-chamber air chambers can be combined to achieve 65% ultra-wide range, four-gear physical stiffness adjustment. The difficulty of traditional single-chamber air suspensions lies in that if the empty load is tuned comfortable, the full load sinks; if tuned hard, the full load doesn't sink but the empty ride bounces. These two demands are inherently conflicting. Dual-valve EDC controls compression and rebound damping separately. Air springs manage load bearing, dampers manage vibration filtering, dividing work instead of interfering with each other. This line of thinking is what truly makes it stand firm.

VMC domain control plus 15-meter pre-scan, high-definition pre-scan 15 meters ahead of the car scans the road surface 100 times per second, calculating optimal posture in real-time with six degrees of freedom. In terms of body feeling, this is the so-called "crab walk". When changing lanes at high speed, the car body approximates translation, with less roll and sway than traditional MPVs. In Prestige mode, after stopping, the car body automatically lowers by 40 mm, making it convenient for elderly and children to get in and out. The core load-bearing members are made of aviation aluminum alloy, accounting for over 90%. Sprung mass is reduced by about 30%, paired with front double wishbones, rear five-link suspension, and intelligent electric four-wheel drive.

VOYAH also performed two verification actions: six cars vertically stacked, total weight 18.1 tons, the bottom car completed 35 meters displacement, taking 28 seconds; 131 km/h extreme cold ice and snow road surface single-wheel blowout achieved autonomous stability control. Moose test over 80.5 km/h, braking distance reached the 36-meter class.

But whether it's good depends on the first batch of owners running over speed bumps and highways. If you really test drive, I suggest focusing on these three: whether continuous speed bumps and damaged roads can achieve soft but stable handling, how much space a U-turn in the garage takes, and whether the car body follows hands during high-speed lane changes. Parameters only explain the hardware foundation. Whether the chassis is good or not, the butt and hands will tell you the answer.

Safety configurations are also generous. 2,200 MPa hot-formed steel aluminum cage body, seven-layer frontal collision protection in the front compartment, five-layer rear-end collision protection in the rear compartment, 11 airbags covering front, middle, and rear three rows, Amber battery 16-layer whole-domain safety structure protection. For the three-electric systems, PHEV version 65 kWh, supports 5C super fast charging, 20 minutes from 20% to 80%, pure electric range 340 km, combined over 1,500 km; Pure electric version directly 120 kWh, currently the largest battery in the MPV category, CLTC range 701 km.

How to choose power? Just one question: Is there charging conditions? If there is no fixed parking space at home, frequent cross-city travel, and changing vehicle locations often, choosing PHEV basically won't be wrong. The 10,000 RMB price difference for pure electric, if you drive a lot in a year, is relatively easy to recover; if charging conditions are average, I still recommend PHEV.

A reminder here: the 12-minute fast charging refers to 20% to 80%. Real experience is also affected by charging pile power, temperature, and battery status. When viewing the car, don't just stare at the parameter table, casually check if there are stable output 800V piles near your company and home.

The whole series is designed according to the whole-domain L3 architecture, but architecture support for L3 does not equal L3 can be used now. This is hardware laid out, not function delivery. Current delivery functions are L2 level assisted driving. L3 opening needs to wait for regulations approval and official OTA. Hardware specifications are indeed high: 37 smart sensors, including one 896-line dual-optical path image-level main LiDAR, plus three high-precision solid-state blind-spot radar, CAS 5.0 full-dimension anti-collision system. Redundancy covers perception, computing, braking, steering, power supply, communication, interaction, positioning eight dimensions, IPB plus RBU dual independent hydraulic circuits, dual chip, dual motor fully redundant EPS architecture, when main system fails, backup system can intervene seamlessly within 100 ms.

Why is everyone rushing to talk about L3 architecture? Because "Intelligent Connected Vehicle Autonomous Driving System Safety Requirements" (GB 44721—2026) has been approved, proposed to be implemented from July 1, 2027, covering L3, L4 level system passenger and cargo vehicles. Inside, it clarifies hard requirements like takeover capability monitoring and minimum risk strategy. To put it simply, before that, all car companies can only do one thing: lay out the hardware first, wait for the gate to open. VOYAH's choice is to lay out this redundancy on the whole series, not just exclusive to top trim.

So my advice is to judge based on currently usable capabilities, don't count future possible unlocked functions into purchase value early. There is a supporting benefit on the intelligent driving software side: locked order users can enjoy ADS 5 high-level function package 21,000 RMB deduction, first sales period price 15,000 RMB.

No matter how much safety functions are promoted, it's better to personally test one automatic emergency braking, blind spot reminder, lane keeping, and lane change assistance. Whether these are smooth or not will directly determine your trust in driving this car in the future.

The "Kunpeng Lingyun" crystal lifting emblem on the car front, composed of 2,520 precisely cut surfaces, this number can be divided by 1 to 9, symbolizing wholeheartedness and perfection. The emblem rising has a spirit of upward progress, when retracted it hides sharpness with measure. With Star Vein Light-up Grille and HUAWEI XPIXEL dual million-pixel full-color smart headlights, bilateral total pixels 2.6 million, can project navigation arrows, lane departure warning, pedestrian crosswalk safety info, and can also perform "Step-by-Step Generating Gold" "Kunpeng Striking Waves" custom welcome light effects.

Some people think the emblem is a show-off, I don't agree very much. Traditional MPV business ritual sense is static, the car parked there you look around it. This system turns it into a dynamic sequence: approach, emblem rises, light language spreads, approach side body projects welcome light carpet, side sliding door opens at the same time chassis lowers to welcome posture, second row seats rotate outward 45 degrees bow to welcome. It solves an experience breakpoint long ignored by MPVs — at the moment guests get off, the car is "alive".

Body is square wide-body architecture, front grille uses dragon scale stacked vertical strip decoration, design concept called "Sky and Galaxy", borrowing ancient building beam-column symmetry aesthetics. Overall design language called "Extreme, Smooth, Elegant", not simple stacking of traditional symbols, but converting cultural spirit into industrial design language.

The logic inside the cabin is variable, not piling materials. "One Cabin, Eight Modes" — Executive Living Room, Prestige Neighbor, Full-view Viewing, Maternal Infant Companionship, Private Storage, Car Travel, Huge Cargo, One-key Bed. Translating into human language is, multi-child family doesn't want a boss seat, but a space that can solve meetings, napping, loading and overnight successively.

Second row protocol-level zero gravity seats are the world's first to integrate rotation, transverse slide, zero gravity and mechanical massage four-in-one super luxury seats, support 45°, 90°, 180° multi-angle rotation, eight modes flexible switching. Going out with children, 180° rotation can face to face accompany tell stories build blocks; Receiving guests, second row after rotation is face to face seating. Wandering mechanical massage matched with air bag tapping, simulates human hand massage. With LC intelligent dimming privacy glass, 13L dual-door intelligent cold and warm box, temp range from minus 6°C to 50°C, 21.4-inch second row ceiling screen and VOYAH Sound 35 speaker audio.

Don't just sit in zero gravity mode for one minute and leave. Is entering and exiting convenient, leg rest and seat cushion long enough, sit half hour tired or not, these are the true feelings of long-term car use. With children, entering and exiting and seat adjustment are things facing daily.

Pre-sale 48 hours small order broke 30,000 units, among them old user increase and exchange purchase over 20,000 units, Li Zun Edition proportion over half. More than half of people directly went for 519,900 RMB starting top trim. This number is more persuasive than any slogan on the launch site.

VOYAH in hand is not without cards. Dreamer launched in May 2022, is China's first high-end electric MPV, four years time collected over 200,000 users, won high-end MPV sales, reputation, quality "Triple Crown", also is Huawei series selling best MPV. In April 2026 with 7,017 vehicles topped full category MPV sales champion, domestic 350,000 RMB plus MPV market every sell three units one unit is Dreamer, users come from BBA this kind of traditional luxury brand exchange purchase proportion reaches 55%.

200,000 user feedback loop, is anything a new flagship can't give thing. Pre-sale that 48 hours inside over 20,000 old users increase exchange purchase, is most direct proof — they on chassis performance memory, than any configuration table more concrete.

This market is differentiating. First half of 2026 domestic MPV retail total about 417,000 vehicles, year on year decline 17.9%; But July 350,000 RMB plus MPV single month sales ring rise 61.7%, is current month only positive growth price segment, new energy penetration rate break 40%. In 2025 home use attribute MPV market proportion reached 58%, first time exceed business procurement.

Recent opponent is Luxeed V9, 389,800 RMB to 519,800 RMB, top trim compare Dreamer 9 cheap 10,000 RMB, super 80% users choose Ultra and above high trim, transaction average price stable around 500,000 RMB. Two cars both hang Huawei intelligent driving and cabin, users last choose who, basically depends on chassis experience and brand trust. DENZA D9 walk is 329,900 RMB to 459,900 RMB that gear, more lean mainstream high-end home and business, ownership amount is its confidence. Zeekr 009 is pure electric route, 439,000 RMB starting, price span can pull to 899,000 RMB.

Business reception this scene, Buick GL8 mind barrier still there. Car itself difference can chase by parameters, but "Company purchase MPV default option" this cognition, launch site can't solve, must rely on time.

Benefits this side must calculate total account, don't be taken away by 0% interest. Cutoff October 31, 2026, lock order can still get 7 layer benefits. Cash deduction is ADS 5 high-level function package 21,000 RMB, first sales period 15,000 RMB; Dual rotation zero gravity seats two plus 21.4-inch second row ceiling screen belong to limited time gift, total value 40,000 RMB; Usage benefits include 5 years or 100,000 km whole car warranty, first owner three-electric lifetime warranty, car machine traffic, predictable service and road rescue. Finance plans have several: 50% down payment start 1236 period 0% interest, or down payment 50%, tail amount 50%, 12 period 0% interest, also 0 down payment start 1260 period low interest. Trade-in subsidy divides three gears, Dreamer old owner 30,000 RMB, other VOYAH models 15,000 RMB, other brands 5,000 RMB.

This set of gears reveals VOYAH's real intention: it wants to grab is old owners upgrade, not new customers first purchase. For old owners, this may be change car most cost-effective one. But bare car price, selection, insurance, trade-in subsidy, function package deduction and interest, best spread calculate one total cost. Some benefits still limit first owner, non-operating vehicle or specific users, can superpose must view official APP and benefit instruction, and let sales write clear. Rotation zero gravity seats and ceiling screen are limited time gift, if buy then this time point than hesitate choose which configuration more should remember.

Finally talk about my selection method. Multi-child family, budget priority, directly Ultra PHEV, core chassis, ADS 5, 800V and variable space all in, 340 km pure electric range covers most daily commute, it is lowest threshold but configuration not cheap choice. Frequently family travel, don't want total find charging piles, up Ultra+ PHEV, second row and comfort config more complete, spend 40,000 RMB buy is daily experience, really high frequency use easy to value return. Business reception, value image, then consider Li Zun Edition, emblem, two-tone body, exclusive wheels and more complete luxury config, serve is this scene. Ordinary family no need for hardware rush top trim, because core mechanics and intelligent driving, entry model already give much.

This car really wants to solve is not how to defeat another MPV, but how to let a 500,000 RMB Chinese brand MPV at dinner table be naturally brought up. Business reception scene, this matter's weight higher than any item on config table.

Say two words heart words. What makes me care is it puts Chinese design, Huawei intelligent driving, 800V, three-chamber air suspension, rear wheel steering and rotatable second row put into same use logic, and low trim no in these key hardware significantly shrink, this point deserves affirmation.

Concerns also have three: L3 currently still architecture reserved; Pure electric fast charging must see infrastructure follow can keep up; Luxury config whether can endure long-term use test, also needs time verification. Also a detail, September 22 launch site came many Thailand media, Dreamer 9 right-hand drive version starting November land overseas, first stop is Thailand, right-hand drive high-end MPV this ground long is Toyota and Honda's.

If you are hesitating, my advice is to put test drive arrange full a bit: continuous bumping road, turn around, garage parking, second row sit long a bit, then bring child go up and down car once. Config table decide will you go into store, really let you take money, often these things long-term use stable or not, smooth or not.

400,000 RMB plus buy MPV, you choose Dreamer 9 whole series standard 800V and Huju Chassis P, or Luxeed V9 save that 10,000 RMB, or simply wait DENZA D9 next step? If is you, Li Zun Edition this price level, PHEV or Pure Electric?

    Since officially entering the Malaysian market in February 2025, Denza relies on the local core dealer Sime Darby Group to launch flagship stores in Kuala Lumpur's core business district, steadily promoting the overseas market layout. The brand initially launched two main models: the luxury MPV Denza D9 and the high-end PHEV SUV Denza B8.
