Denza B8 now open for ROI in Malaysia – PHEV SUV, 578PS, 760Nm

Denza Malaysia has opened registrations of interest for its new SUV, the DENZA B8. Denza, a premium brand under BYD, is expanding its model lineup following the launch of the Denza D9 and ahead of the soon-to-be-launched Denza Z9GT. Currently, the Australian market is the closest neighbouring country where the Denza B8 is sold, with a starting price of AU$91,000, equivalent to approximately RM253,600.

Sold as the Fangchengbao Bao 8 in China, this rugged body-on-frame plug-in hybrid 4×4 features a dual-motor AWD configuration paired with an internal combustion engine. The front motor produces 272 PS and 350 Nm of torque, while the rear motor produces 408 PS and 400 Nm of torque. Additionally, there is a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 197 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Together, the system delivers a combined power output of 578 PS and 760 Nm of torque, enabling 0–100 km/h acceleration in 4.8 seconds.

The pure electric range is 100 km WLTP, and with the 91-litre fuel tank, the total range is quoted at 905 km. Packed with a 36.8 kWh Blade LFP battery, the vehicle supports DC fast charging at 120 kW and AC charging of up to 11 kW. There’s also a 6.6 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) function.

Designed for those who seek adventurous off-road driving with luxury comforts, the Denza B8 features Dual Mode Off-road (DMO) intelligent off-road PHEV technology, including DiSus-P Body Control, an advanced chassis, and innovative battery technology. It is complemented by a high-tech DiLink infotainment platform and a luxurious cabin with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance systems. Three exterior colours will be available—Dawn Gold, Eclipse Black, and Nebula Silver—paired with two interior colour options: Jasper Brown and Onyx Black.

No news has been released yet on how many variants of the Denza B8 will enter Malaysia, as it comes in China as both a 6-seater and a 7-seater. The 7-seater features a bench seat in the second row, while the 6-seater has two captain seats in its place. More information will be shared soon.
