Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • BYD begins pre-sales of Denza N8L, a six-seater SUV with flash charging and new Blade Battery.
  • BYDDY's N8L charges from 10% to 97% in 9 minutes, with up to 1,500 kW charging power.
  • BYD expands Denza lineup with rapid launches, including N8L and N9, boosting EV tech rollout.

BYD Company Limited’s (BYDDY - Free Report) Denza brand initiated pre-sales of the N8L flash-charging edition in China last week, shortly after introducing another flash-charging model earlier in the same period. The N8L carries a pre-sales price range of 350,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan, with buyers eligible for up to 18 months of complimentary flash charging during the pre-sales period.

Positioned as a large six-seater SUV, the N8L comes equipped with BYD’s latest second-generation Blade Battery. It supports a charging power of up to 1,500 kilowatts, enabling significantly faster charging times. With this system, the battery can be charged from 10% to 97% in just nine minutes, while reaching 70% from 10% takes only five minutes.

The hybrid variant features a 75.26-kWh battery pack, offering a pure electric range of up to 430 kilometers. It is powered by a 2.0T hybrid system, allowing acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just over three seconds. The vehicle is built on the e3 intelligent vehicle control platform and integrates the DiSus-A body control system, supporting functions such as compass turn and intelligent crab walk.

The N8L further includes upgraded safety and driver assistance features, such as the God’s Eye 5.0 system and automatic emergency braking (AEB). It is Denza’s second flash charging model launched this week, following the N9, which entered pre-sales on April 7, 2026, with a price range of 450,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan.

These rapid introductions reflect BYD’s ongoing efforts to enhance its models with newer technologies. The company had unveiled its second-generation Blade Battery and flash charging system in early March, aimed at delivering a refueling-like charging experience. Denza recently opened pre-sales for the updated second-generation D9 MPV, its key model.
