Denza Malaysia has released a new teaser for the new D9 electric MPV, pointing to a Nov 19 unveiling that coincides with the Malaysian launch of BYD’s Flash Charging technology.
The Facebook image shows the second-generation D9 parked beside a T-shaped overhead charger, with the date prominently displayed and registration of interest now open.
The charging equipment provides the clearest indication of what is coming. BYD is preparing to introduce its 1,500 kW Flash Charging system locally, with installations already spotted at selected Denza showrooms in the Klang Valley, including the one at Balakong in south-eastern Selangor.
The new D9 introduced overseas uses an 800V electrical architecture and BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery, which also features in the Denza Z9GT.
Both models support Flash Charging, with BYD claiming a 10% to 70% battery top-up in five minutes, extending to 97% in nine minutes under suitable conditions.
However, the 1,500 kW figure refers to the charger’s maximum output, not a confirmed peak charging rate for the D9.
The refreshed D9 sold in Indonesia has a battery capacity of about 115 kWh, against 103.36 kWh previously. Its front-wheel-drive version develops 340 kW (462 PS), compared with 230 kW (313 PS) in the existing Malaysian model.
Its claimed driving range also rises from 600 km to 730 km NEDC (584 km, WLTP estimate) for the newer model.
