The Denza N8L (Chinese: 腾势N8L; pinyin: Téngshì N8L) is an upcoming plug-in hybrid full-size SUV to be produced and sold by Denza, a premium marque of BYD Auto. It is based on BYD's e3 platform.
Despite using the Denza N8 name it is unrelated to the already discontinued model.
Overview
[edit]The Denza N8L is a 5-door SUV that uses a similar design to the Denza N9. Just like the N9 it uses the e3 platform developed by BYD. It is positioned as a flagship car for the company.
Design
[edit]The N8L uses design features shared with the rest or the lineup, such as parallel front end daytime running lights and hourglass-inspired taillights. Also present is a trapezoidal air intake and active grille shutters unlike the N9. Flush door handles also make an appearance. With the exception of the A-pillar all the pillars have a gloss black finish.[1]
Chassis
[edit]The N8L is expected to use the BYD e3 platform, likely featuring the DiSus-A intelligent suspension system, rear-wheel steering, front compass turning and intelligent crab walking.
Features
[edit]The N8L has an optional drone system that uses a drone supplied by DJI. If equipped, the height of the vehicle is increased by 170 mm (6 in). The "God's Eye B" intelligent driving system is also expected to be available on the N8L. The interior is expected to feature a 15.6-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch instrument cluster.
Powertrain
[edit]According to documents released by the MIIT the N8L is expected to be powered by a 2 liter turbocharged inline 4 making 204 horsepower. 3 electric motors are also present with the front motor making 268 horsepower and both rear motors making a combined 483 horsepower. The combined power output is 955 horsepower.[2]
