In less than a month since launch, Denza Malaysia has successfully delivered the first 200 units of the Denza D9 to its customers. This is a luxury 7-seater fully electric MPV that takes on the likes of the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire, priced from RM259,000.
As revealed earlier, Denza has received over 800 orders for the D9 within a week of launch and the mass delivery today marks a milestone for the brand.
Denza is a premium sub-brand under BYD and in total, the BYD brand has delivered over 15,000 EVs in Malaysia, making it the #1 EV brand in Malaysia. One out of four EVs registered in Malaysia last year was a BYD.
BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd Managing Director Eagle Zhao said, “The delivery of our first 200 units of the DENZA D9 marks an exciting milestone for DENZA in Malaysia. This overwhelming response reflects the growing demand for premium electric mobility and reaffirms our dedication to innovation, craftsmanship, and customer experience. We are committed to shaping the future of high-end EVs and look forward to delivering even more exceptional vehicles to our customers in Malaysia.”
