Denza was formed in February 2011 as a joint venture between BYD and Daimler, each holding a 50 percent stake, and Daimler was rebranded as Mercedes-Benz in February 2022.

BYD's stake in Denza increased to 90 percent last year, and Mercedes-Benz's stake decreased to 10 percent.

Denza is currently offering only the D9, an MPV that went on sale in August 2022 and began deliveries in October last year.

The N8 will be the third model in the rebranded Denza, with the second model, the N7, to be released in the first half of this year. The release date for the N8 has not yet been announced.

Denza, a joint venture between BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) and Mercedes-Benz, has become one of the most talked-about EV brands in China, after BYD took a majority stake last year.

Denza has a chance to see monthly sales of more than 20,000 units this year, Zhao Changjiang, general manager of the company's sales division, said on Weibo late last night.

Denza's first model after the rebranding, the Denza D9 MPV, could see additional orders of 13,000 to 15,000 units this month, according to Zhao.

Denza's new SUV, the N7, which is on pre-sale, is expected to receive more than 6,000 new orders this month and is expected to reach 30,000 orders before its official launch, Zhao said

About 20 percent of the customers who pre-ordered the Denza N7 are D9 owners, he said.

The Denza N7 is a car that is two generations ahead of the industry and will start to show its true capabilities, Zhao said, adding that Denza will hold road shows about the model in Beijing starting May 12.

Denza will also be announcing the interior of the N8 in the near future, and people who like to go off-road as well as those who want to balance family can keep an eye on it, he said.

Denza was established in February 2011 as a joint venture between BYD and Daimler, each of whom held 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, went on sale on August 23, 2022, with deliveries starting on October 26.

The N7 is the second model after its rebranding, for which Denza already started warming up two months ago.

The Denza N7 has inspired a high level of enthusiasm, and with the announcement of Denza's partnership with French high-end audio brand Devialet on March 22, the number of daily customer inquiries has been particularly high, Zhao said on Weibo on March 26.

There are many customers who want to get the Denza N7 launched as soon as possible, and according to the inquiry volume data, the model is expected to get 30,000 orders before its launch in the middle of the year, Zhao said at the time.

Earlier in February, Zhao said the Denza N7 would be launched in the first half of this year.

Denza opened reservations for the N7 on the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18, but notably, its pricing information was not released.

On April 25, Denza announced that the Denza N7 has received 10,569 pre-orders, just 7 days after pre-orders open.

Denza sold 10,526 vehicles in April, the second consecutive month in which it exceeded 10,000 units, according to figures it announced earlier this month.

The N7 SUV, a new model of BYD's premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand Denza, seems to have gained good initial acceptance.

The Denza N7 has already received 10,569 pre-orders, just seven days after pre-orders open, it said today on Weibo.

Denza opened reservations for the N7 on the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18, but notably, its pricing information was not released.

Several hours after pre-sales began, Denza announced that the N7 had received 5,367 pre-orders in its first six hours.

Although the price of the N7 was not announced, Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Denza's sales division, said on Weibo on December 20 that the SUV aims to capture the market for traditional internal combustion engine cars priced around RMB 400,000 ($57,900).

Based on inquiry volume data, the model is expected to receive 30,000 orders before its mid-year launch, Zhao said at the time.

Zhao said in February that the Denza N7 would be launched in the first half of this year.

Denza is a joint venture set up by BYD and Daimler in February 2011, when they each held a 50 percent stake in the company. Last year, BYD's stake in Denza was increased to 90 percent.

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

The brand sold 10,398 vehicles in March, up 41.95 percent from 7,325 in February, according to figures it announced earlier this month.
