Denza Z Convertible debuts in China with a focus in export markets.<\/p>\n

The model will also be available in coupe and track-focused variants.<\/p>\n

Expect over 1,000 hp, sophisticated technology, and a bargain price.<\/p>\n

Denza, a BYD-owned<\/a> brand with a focus in export markets, has unveiled a new production model that could haunt the dreams of the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore. The production version of the Denza Z will be offered in coupe, convertible, and track-focused variants combining sleek styling with a high-performance electric powertrain and sophisticated electronics.<\/p>\n

The Z Convertible looks more elegant compared to its closed-roof sibling, despite the fact it shares most of its body panels. The exposed four-seater cabin and the redesigned rear deck help create sexier proportions, with the design of the bumpers being more refined than the track-hungry bodykit of the previous show car.<\/a><\/p>\n

The example that was showcased at the 2026 Beijing Auto Salon combines a bluish green shade with a satin finish and a tri-color interior, sending strong Maserati<\/a> vibes. While we didn\u2019t get to see the soft reclining roof in action, earlier spy shots confirm it is made of fabric.<\/p>\n

The model was designed under the guidance of former Audi design chief Wolfgang Egger, who is responsible for the styling of BYD brands Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and YangWang.<\/p>\n

The Z series will be powered by three electric motors offering AWD capabilities and a combined output of around 1,000 hp (746 kW \/ 1,014 PS). It will also be equipped with BYD\u2019s DiSus-M electromagnetic suspension system, the latest \u201cEye of the God\u201d driver assistance, and a battery pack compatible with flash charging.<\/a><\/p>\n

Global Aspirations<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the Denza<\/a> Z will launch in Europe and other global markets first, before landing in Chinese showrooms. Following its premiere at the Beijing Auto Show, the model will make its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. <\/p>\n

In China, local media estimate it will be priced in the region of \u00a5400,000-500,000 ($58,600-73,200), undercutting sportscars and supercars from Western brands.<\/p>\n
