Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Denza D9 is a D-segment, seven-seat electric MPV for larger families wanting battery-electric motoring and a long driving range. This Mk1 generation launches in 2025 and starts from RM299,000. Buyers can choose front- or all-wheel drive, both with a 103.36 kWh battery and single-ratio automatic transmission.

D9 in 2026 — what's new

The Malaysian Mk1 D9 carries into 2026 as a two-variant, seven-seat EV range. In China, the 2026 D9 receives an all-new interior, passenger and rear screens, up to 800 km of CLTC range and 1,500 kW DC charging. A 2027 D9 teased for Malaysia has a 465 PS front-wheel-drive powertrain and a 730 km NEDC range claim, plus Flash Charging and an upgraded interior.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should take the RM299,000 Advanced FWD. It has the same 103.36 kWh battery as the Premium, the longer 520 km range and 308 hp, while keeping seven seats. The RM355,000 Premium AWD costs RM56,000 more for all-wheel drive and 369 hp, but its stated range falls to 490 km. Pay more only if the extra 61 hp and AWD are priorities; the Advanced is the more rational D9.

Verdict

The D9 makes its strongest case in Advanced form: a 103.36 kWh battery, seven seats and a 520 km range figure at the lower end of its own line-up. Its RM299,000 entry price is RM17,927 above the Xpeng X9 and RM29,112 above the Maxus MIFA 9, though RM5,800 below the Zeekr 009. The Premium’s AWD and extra power need to matter to justify its substantial price jump.
