Power That Impresses
The DENZA B8 is built on the proprietary DMO (Dual Mode Off-road) hybrid platform, which combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors. Its all-wheel-drive system enables the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. The vehicle offers an all-electric driving range of up to 115 km and a combined driving range of up to 1,040 km under the NEDC cycle. The 36.8 kWh battery supports DC fast charging, with charging taking approximately 16 minutes.
The DENZA B8 is designed for customers seeking a spacious and versatile vehicle for everyday driving, long-distance journeys and family adventures. Its body-on-frame construction, all-wheel-drive system and hybrid powertrain deliver confident performance both on city roads and challenging off-road terrain.
Comfort for the Whole Family
The DENZA B8 features a spacious interior with a choice of six- or seven-seat configurations, advanced digital connectivity, intelligent vehicle control technologies and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems designed to enhance comfort and safety for all occupants.
The SUV is equipped with the intelligent DiSus-P hydraulic body control system, which automatically adjusts suspension height and damping characteristics according to road conditions. The front and rear suspension systems provide stability and ride comfort on both paved roads and uneven terrain.
Another notable feature is Intelligent U-Turn technology, which coordinates the operation of the front and rear electric motors to improve maneuverability in confined spaces.
The DENZA B8 is available in five exterior colors: Tundra Green, Moonlight Silver, Golden Dawn, Shadow Black and Snow White. Customers can also choose between two interior color schemes: Deep Black and Wheat Yellow.
The DENZA B8 has been adapted to meet the needs of the Kazakhstani market, featuring a multimedia system and voice control in both Kazakh and Russian, support for the dedicated DENZA mobile application and an official manufacturer’s warranty.
DENZA is a premium automotive brand within the BYD Group, combining advanced technologies, innovative engineering and distinctive design. In its home market of China, the DENZA B8 is known as the Fang Cheng Bao Leopard 8.
The DENZA brand was established in 2010 through a partnership between BYD and Daimler, with its first vehicle introduced in 2014. The brand’s approach to automotive development is guided by the philosophy “Technology Drives Elegance.”
Customers in Kazakhstan can experience the DENZA B8 through a test drive, receive expert advice and purchase the vehicle at two authorized dealerships: DENZA MyCar Astana in Astana and DENZA Kuldzhinka in Almaty.
