The large SUV market is no longer dominated by joint venture brands' fuel-powered vehicles. The successive launches and booming sales of Li Auto L9 and AITO M9 have ignited the enthusiasm of capable domestic auto brands to enter this market segment.

As early as last year, Zhao Changjiang, General Manager of BYD Denza Sales Division, stated that a more powerful large SUV would be introduced in the future. Now, the naming of this new vehicle has been confirmed as Denza N9.

On July 22, a netizen posted several rendered images of BYD's Denza N9 on social media. Based on the design of these unofficial images, the exterior of the new vehicle continues to adopt the Z9GT's familial design, featuring a split light group on the front face that exudes personality. The overall appearance is dignified and elegant, and the side profile incorporates Z9 design elements in details such as waistlines and air ducts. The rear end is relatively simplistic, borrowing from the Z9's taillight style and equipped with a hidden rear wiper and a family-designed through-type rear taillight.

Shortly after the release of these rendered images, Zhao Changjiang reposted them and commented: "The actual car is even more elegant, imposing, and technologically advanced!"

Moreover, combining Zhao Changjiang's recent and previous responses to netizens about Denza N9, we can also learn that this all-new model will become the flagship SUV of the Denza brand. It is expected to have a length of 5.2 meters and a wheelbase exceeding 3 meters, rivaling traditional luxury large SUVs like the Land Rover Range Rover in grandeur.

Regarding the interior, Zhao Changjiang has also stated that Denza N9 will be equipped with sofas, large TVs, fridges, and aviation seats, and the interior space and smart features will "definitely surpass" those of its competitors, Li Auto L9 and AITO M9.

From the exposed interior spy shots, the front row of the new vehicle adopts the Denza family design, similar to the style of the Z9 GT. In addition to the large central control screen, an entertainment screen has been added in front of the co-pilot seat. The second-row seats are independently designed, confirming that the new vehicle will have a three-row seat layout. More specific product parameters and information will need to wait for future official announcements.

The domestic auto market is already highly competitive, especially in the crowded field of new energy vehicles among domestic brands. Nowadays, the large SUV segment, once a blue ocean, has also attracted the attention of automakers, and it is expected that more new products will enter this market in the future.

With Denza N9 about to enter the fray, competing with Li Auto L9 and AITO M9, and backed by BYD's brand halo, it remains to be seen whether Denza N9 can quickly establish a foothold, even surpass them, and achieve better results. Let's wait and see.
