The Denza N8L is directly targeting luxury flagship SUVs such as the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS. With a pre-sale price starting at ¥319,800, it delivers a genuinely disruptive value proposition in the luxury SUV segment.

The Denza N8L (Specs|Inquiry) shows serious intent with its aggressive pricing of ¥319,800. Core strengths remain fully intact: 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 3.9 seconds, a pure-electric range of 230 km tailored for daily commutes, and an astonishing 1,300 km combined range on a full tank and full charge — eliminating long-distance range anxiety. The Yunyan-A intelligent body control system, combined with a double-wishbone front and five-link rear suspension, delivers a chassis setup that is unrivaled at this price point. Inside, the six-seat layout offers two independent aviation-style captain chairs in the second row, complete with a mini refrigerator, fold-out table, and entertainment screen — elevating comfort to a near first-class airline experience.

Denza N8L Space

Space and comfort are unquestionably this vehicle’s strongest selling points. With a 5,200 mm length and 3,110 mm wheelbase, the six-seat layout proves more practical than typical seven-seat configurations. The two independent second-row seats offer 140 mm fore/aft sliding travel and 28 degrees of recline adjustment, each equipped with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The center armrest hides a 12L smart refrigerator with temperature control from –6°C to 50°C. Coupled with a 17.3-inch rear entertainment screen and dual folding tables, it ensures long-trip comfort for both adults and children. Even the third row shows attention to detail: a 480 mm cushion provides full thigh support, with 100 mm sliding travel and reclining backrests — allowing adults to ride comfortably in emergency situations. The driver’s seat features a 10-point massage, while the front passenger seat offers a zero-gravity recline up to 113 degrees with an extendable leg rest — more relaxing than a home sofa when fatigue sets in.

Denza N8L Powertrain

The powertrain uses Yisanshang architecture, combining a 2.0T engine with three electric motors to form a plug-in hybrid system. The engine delivers 152 kW, the front motor 200 kW, and the left/right rear motors 240 kW each — resulting in formidable total output. Its 3.9-second 0–100 km/h sprint is shockingly quick for a full-size SUV and ensures confident highway overtaking. The 46.992 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery is officially rated (MIIT) for 170 km of pure-electric range, with the manufacturer claiming up to 230 km real-world. For urban use, one charge per week is sufficient. Fuel consumption after battery depletion is an impressive 6.95 L/100 km, while full fuel and battery levels enable the aforementioned 1,300 km range.

Denza N8L Exterior

The exterior embraces a futuristic mecha-tech aesthetic, featuring a parametric dot-matrix grille with AGS intelligent air intake that dynamically regulates cooling. The starcraft-inspired layered lighting combines vertical main beams with dual parallel DRLs, creating a pulsating animation when lit for strong visual recognition. The side profile adopts a floating roofline with a pronounced waistline. 21-inch turbine-style wheels reduce aerodynamic drag while enhancing visuals. Hidden door handles, carbon fiber side skirts, and red brake calipers further emphasize sporty character. The rear features a full-width 3D taillight light bar echoing the front’s signature lighting. A functional roof spoiler and performance diffuser improve high-speed stability.

Chassis

The chassis is one of the technical highlights. Its double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension are paired with Yunyan-A intelligent body control, which uses cameras and lidar to predict road conditions in real-time, adjusting ride height and damping within milliseconds to filter out road imperfections. During aggressive cornering, body roll is tightly controlled, while everyday driving delivers an ideal blend of ride comfort and handling precision. Including this costly system as standard across all trims is a surprisingly generous move.

Cabin materials are executed at a high level, with soft-touch surfaces and fine stitching throughout. The Yunjin Rice Gold and Mountain Brown interior theme offers a warmer and more refined ambiance than conventional black. The driver instrument and passenger screens each measure 13.2 inches, with a 17.3-inch central display. A 50-inch AR-HUD completes the immersive digital cockpit. The symmetrical dashboard design appears clean and premium, while the column-mounted gear selector operates intuitively.

In summary, the Denza N8L is clearly positioned as a flagship-tier plug-in hybrid SUV. For ¥319,800, it delivers 3.9-second 0–100 km/h acceleration, a 1,300 km combined range, a luxurious six-seat layout, and the advanced Yunyan-A intelligent chassis. This specification makes it one of the most competitive offerings in the ¥300,000 PHEV SUV class. Scheduled to launch on October 28, it may be worth waiting for the official pricing if you’re considering a large plug-in hybrid SUV.
