on september 20, the byd z9gt was officially launched in shenzhen. a total of 7 models were launched in the series. the limited-time price range before the end of the year is 334,800-414,800 yuan. in addition, the official also launched a limited number of first-edition models with a deposit of 10,000 yuan and prices of 364,800 and 414,800 yuan respectively.，limited to 2010 units, the byd z9gt is positioned as a large luxury gt model and the first model of the byd z series. unlike the luxury sedans we are familiar with, which are more stable in appearance, the z9gt has a more personalized appearance. in terms of power, it will provide two versions, pure electric and plug-in hybrid, and will be equipped with byd's new exclusive technology "yisanfang".

the most direct feeling of the byd z9gt is that it is large and elegant, yet dynamic. however, this dynamic feeling is not presented through sharp lines or too many outstanding details, but through the overall body posture and proportion. the appearance of the z9 gt is composed ofbydglobal design director wolfgang egger led the team to design the car. the front face adopts the solar diadem design language, which is inspired by the rising sun. it uses smooth lines to outline the upward radiating sunlight, while also incorporating the brand's family dna.

the slender headlights are very distinctive, and the design inspiration also comes from the eruption of stars. they are highly recognizable. the multifunctional combination headlights include the ultra-intelligent driving functions of high and low beam lights and dlp pixel headlights. the laser radar is not designed on the roof like most models, but is located under the left and right lights to avoid damaging the overall shape and lines of the car body. however, the disadvantage is that it increases the maintenance cost after a collision.

the lines on the side of the car body are very smooth, creating a unique light and shadow effect with the curved surface. the z-shaped decorative lines create a sense of flow, which is also a signature element of the new car, emphasizing the identity of the z series. the byd z9 gt adopts a design with a backward center of gravity, creating a stretched backward body posture, and shaping the gt style more in place. in addition to the hidden door handles, the plug-in hybrid model we actually photographed is equipped with 21-inch large wheels with a two-color design. the fine multi-spoke shape is full of tension and is equipped with red calipers. the standard tires are the continental pcc series, with specifications of 255/40 r21 in the front and 275/40 r21 in the rear. the combination of narrow front and wide rear further reflects the performance orientation.

in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the byd z9 gt are 5180mm/1990mm/1500 (1480) mm respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 3125mm, reaching the level of a large sedan. the same is true from a visual point of view. its body is larger than 3 times the axle ratio and nearly 2 times the wheel height ratio, presenting a more elegant body proportion.

the styling of the rear of the car is very individual, strong and full, and a large number of horizontal lines create a stronger sense of layering. the taillights do not adopt the currently popular through-type shape, but instead highlight the sense of symmetry. i think it is also an attempt to reject homogenization. the size of the taillights is a bit large, and the official calls it a "time hourglass". the texture is still very good. the integrated floating rear wing on the upper edge of the rear windshield provides stronger downforce and the shape is also very beautiful. there is also an electrically liftable rear wing above the taillights, and the double rear wing design further highlights the sense of sportiness.

in terms of interior, the byd z9gt has an obvious embracing design in terms of layout. the smooth lines and surfaces are quite soft, and the already wide cabin has a wider sensory experience. both the sense of luxury and technology are strongly reflected.

the overall interior style is still very simple. three lcd screens cover the entire center console. in addition to the instrument panel and the central control screen, there is also a screen with entertainment functions in front of the co-pilot. the number of physical buttons is very small, and hidden electric air-conditioning vents are used. the materials in the car still have a very good texture. metal, wood trim, and leather cover most of the areas within reach, and the combination of various materials is not messy at all, and the combination complements each other.

the four-spoke steering wheel adopts a more sporty flat-bottom shape. the leather wrapped in it is very delicate and feels solid to hold. it has rich integrated control functions. the paddles at the back are definitely not shift buttons, but are used to set the intelligent driving assistance system. the steering wheel also supports electric adjustment, with excellent functionality.

the byd z9gt will also be equipped with an audio system from the french brand devialet. the three speakers on the dashboard rise up slowly in an elegant posture, providing better auditory and visual effects, and bringing a sense of ritual of a luxury car. the dual 50w wireless charging is also a very practical configuration. when the mobile phone is placed on it, the charging plate will slowly descend, and the 128-color ambient light can also better set off the atmosphere in the car.

although the panoramic skylight with a size of 2.1m2 cannot be opened, it is equipped with a two-stage electric sunshade, and two makeup mirrors are reserved in the middle for the rear passengers. the new car also provides two refrigerators in the front and rear rows, which can choose cooling or heating. the lowest freezing temperature is -6°c, and the highest heating temperature is 50°c. in addition, the capacity is considerable. the front refrigerator has a capacity of 4l and can hold 6 bottles of coke; the rear refrigerator has a capacity of up to 10l; it can hold 2 bottles of champagne or 4 bottles of red wine. in addition to being practical, it further enhances the luxury experience.

in terms of power, the byd z9gt will be available in pure electric and plug-in hybrid versions. all models will be equipped with byd's new exclusive technology "yisanfang", which will provide three drive motors. the maximum power of the front motor of the pure electric version is 230kw, and the maximum power of the rear dual motors is 240kw and 240kw, with a combined maximum power of 710kw.the plug-in hybrid model has a total motor power of 640kw, a maximum power of 152kw for the 2.0t turbocharged engine, a pure electric four-wheel drive range of 630km, and a plug-in hybrid model with a maximum range of 1,100km. the top speeds of the two models are 240km and 230km respectively. the denza z9gt is equipped with an air suspension that can adjust the height and hardness of the suspension, and will be equipped with the denza pilot intelligent driving system, which currently supports automatic driving assistance on highways and urban roads, and can automatically drive out of ramps and enter ramps, and can automatically park.

summarize

as the latest masterpiece of the byd brand, the positioning of z9 gt is very high. whether it is design, technology, power, or configuration, it has brought the byd brand models to a new height, and will undoubtedly further enhance the brand power of byd. compared with traditional large luxury cars, it is more personalized and more elegant, and can be called a breath of fresh air. in this market segment, whether it is a fuel vehicle or a new energy vehicle, there is no shortage of powerful players, but i believe that the emergence of z9 gt can bring a different choice.
