It is worth mentioning that as of June 26, the pre-orders for Denza N7 have exceeded 20,000 units.

Denza N7 is built on the basis of the upgraded version of BYD’s e-Platform 3.0, which contains features including the CTB (Cell-to-Body) structural battery system and iTAC (Intelligence Torque Adaptation Control System), according to the carmaker.

Denza N7 is available in single-motor two-wheel and dual-motor four-wheel drive, both of which are equipped with a 91.392 kWh Blade battery pack. Power for the two-wheel drive comes from a permanent magnet synchronous motor model TZ200XYC with a maximum power of 230 kW. Its CLTC cruising range is 702 km.

In terms of appearance, Denza N7 adopts the π-MOTION design, which represents circularity and infinite possibilities, offering two front-face styles for consumers to choose from. Positioned as a mid-size SUV, the size of the car is 4860/1935/1602mm, and the wheelbase is 2940mm. Furthermore, the high-end trim is equipped with 33 sensors around the car including LiDARs, millimeter-wave radars, a NVIDIA Orin chip, and two 8-megapixel cameras.

The central control screen is 17.3 inches, has a 2K screen resolution, and will be compatible with Huawei’s Harmony OS in the future. In addition to these three screens, there is an AR-HUD for navigation assistance and two screens each next to the two air conditioning outlets for temperature display.
