Denza N8 EV (China)

BYD's Denza holds the launch event for the all-electric five-seat N8 SUV on Nov 12 in China, with up to 1,003 km of CLTC range.

Denza general manager Li Hui announced the timeline on Weibo on Oct 22: reservations open Oct 26 and the car officially goes on sale in November, with no launch day, prices or delivery plans yet. MIIT filings show single-motor RWD versions (320 or 370 kW) and a tri-motor AWD version with 890 kW combined; it is 5,150 mm long on a 3,075 mm wheelbase, 50 mm shorter than the six-seat N8L. Denza says it uses BYD's second-generation Blade battery with Flash Charging, and Electrek cites up to 1,003 km of CLTC range. Reservations opened on schedule on Oct 26: a 2,000-yuan deposit earns a 5,000-yuan option credit, but Denza has still not given a pre-sale price. For reference, the six-seat N8L starts at 299,800 yuan. Earlier reports had treated Oct 26 as the launch itself. Xinhua's Oct 28 report adds that the N8 comes as both an EV (RWD or tri-motor) and a plug-in hybrid (tri-motor only). As of Oct 31 Denza still has not named a launch day or price. Update Nov 6: Denza announced on Weibo that the N8 EV launch event is set for Nov 12, 2026 (via Electrek); prices are still not public, and the limited-time 5,000-yuan credit for a 2,000-yuan reservation continues.
