The Denza N7, a new SUV from BYD's premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand Denza, has appeared on a regulatory filing list, after the brand began warming up for the model earlier this week.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) today announced the latest batch of models that will be allowed to be sold in China, and the Denza N7 is included in the list.

The public can submit their feedback on the list between March 9 and March 15. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process before a model is allowed to be sold in China.

The Denza N7 is available in four versions, including two single-motor versions and two dual-motor versions, the former with a motor with peak power of 230 kW and the latter with an additional motor with peak power of 160 kW.

The vehicle measures 4,860 mm in length, 1,935 mm in width and 1,602 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,940 mm. It can reach a top speed of 180 km/h.

The Denza N7 will be powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries from BYD's battery division, FinDreams Battery.

It will be offered with the LiDARs, which are set on both sides of the front bumper, similar to the setup of the XPeng G9.

On December 20, Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Denza's sales division, shared six spy photos of the SUV on Weibo, showing what the model could look like.

In the comments section of that Weibo, Zhao said the SUV is aimed at capturing the market for traditional internal combustion engine cars priced around 400,000 yuan ($57,440).

The model's exterior restores much of the design of Denza's concept car INCEPTION, which was unveiled at the Chengdu auto show on August 26, 2022.

Denza's previously announced 2023 new vehicle plan shows that it will release two new vehicles this year, the Denza N7, a five-seat midsize SUV, and the Denza N8, a midsize SUV with six and seven-seat layouts.

Denza was established in February 2011 as a joint venture between BYD and Daimler, with each of them holding a 50 percent stake at the time. Last year, BYD's stake in Denza was increased to 90 percent.

Denza's only model currently on sale, the D9 MPV, went on sale on August 23, 2022, with deliveries starting October 26.

The brand sold 7,325 vehicles in February, up 13.76 percent from 6,439 in January, according to figures it announced earlier this month.

BYD F brand to use new hybrid system, targeting market with price above RMB 400,000, report says

BYD's F brand is positioned between Denza and Yangwang and is expected to be priced between RMB 400,000 and RMB 600,000, according to local media.

BYD's yet-to-be-announced new brand with the codename F Brand will feature the company's new hybrid system and will be positioned below the high-end Yangwang brand, a new report said.

The first model of BYD's F brand, codenamed "SF" internally, will be a hardcore off-road SUV, local media Cailian reported today, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The model will be equipped with BYD's new hybrid powertrain, not the extended-range system previously rumored by some, the report said, adding that it will have a combined range of 1,200 kilometers.

The new car's powertrain has a maximum output of more than 500 kW and will have a body-on-frame structure to compete with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the report said.

The BYD F brand is positioned between Denza and Yangwang and is expected to be priced between RMB 400,000 ($57,400) and RMB 600,000 and will be available for pre-sale within this year, according to the report.

BYD said at an event marking the launch of the company's 3 millionth new energy vehicle (NEV) on November 16 last year that it would launch a new, highly specialized and personalized brand in addition to the Yangwang brand in 2023.

The new brand will meet the increasingly personalized needs of consumers, and it will focus on building with users, BYD chairman and president Wang Chuanfu said at the time.

Last month, local media reported that the brand's internal code name is F brand. BYD subsequently confirmed it.

On March 2, local auto media outlet Yiche shared several spy photos of what it said was the brand's first model, showing a silhouette similar to that of the U8, the first model of BYD's premium brand Yangwang.

The brand's first model will focus on the off-road segment and be equipped with a new powertrain developed by BYD, according to Yiche.

The model will outperform the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the new brand and first model will be released within the year, the report said.

BYD officially unveiled the Yangwang brand on January 5, along with the Yangwang U8 and Yangwang U9, the former a hardcore off-road SUV and the latter a supercar.

BYD did not announce pricing information for the two models at the time, although sources at the company had previously said that the Yangwang products were expected to be priced at RMB 800,000-1.5 million.

There is no more information about the F brand l, but it can be expected that its models will be priced lower than the Yangwang brand.
