This doesn’t mean that they’ll actually go into production, however.
The Denza N7 will be available in single- and dual-motor versions, with an option for LiDARs, which are set on both sides of the front bumper.
BYDDY.US | 1211.HK
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.

The XPeng G6 was exposed by the Chinese MIIT in China. It has up to 487 hp. Let's get to know it better.
The post XPeng G6 electric fastback SUV unveiled in China with 487 hp appeared first on CarNewsChina.com.
Previous reports suggested that the new XPeng new SUV would start at RMB 200,000-250,000 and is expected to be unveiled at this year's Shanghai auto show.
XPEV.US | 9868.HK
The latest regulatory filings reveal XPeng's (NYSE: XPEV) new SUV, which is expected to be released in a few months, as the electric vehicle (EV) maker looks to accelerate its new product launches this year.
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 XPeng's new SUV, the G6, is included in the list.
The public can submit 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.
There are three versions of the XPeng G6 in the catalog, including two single-motor versions and one dual-motor version.
One of the two single-motor versions will be powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, while the other single-motor version and the dual-motor version will both be powered by the more costly ternary lithium batteries.
The XPeng G6 has a length, width and height of 4,753 mm, 1,920 mm and 1,650 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,890 mm, according to these filing pages.
The model appears to be the one previously mentioned by XPeng management to compete with Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y, which measures 4,750 mm in length, 1,921 mm in width, 1,624 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2,890 mm.
Both single-motor versions of the XPeng G6 are equipped with a motor with 218 kW peak power, while the dual-motor version has an additional 140 kW peak power motor.
All three versions of the XPeng G6 will be equipped with battery cells supplied by CATL's local competitor CALB, and the battery packs will be manufactured at XPeng's plant in Wuhan, Hubei.
XPeng management said during an earnings call on August 23, 2022 that the company will release a B-segment vehicle in the first half of 2023 that will compete with the Tesla Model Y.
The model was previously seen as possibly being named the G7 or G5, although spy photos shared by some local media last month showed that it will be called the G6.
XPeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said in a January 28 internal all-staff letter that the company will release two new models and revamp three existing older models in 2023, with a goal of delivering 200,000 vehicles for the year, according to a previous report by LatePost.
That report said at the time that the new XPeng SUV would start at RMB 200,000 ($28,680)-250,000 and was expected to be unveiled at this year's Shanghai auto show.
XPeng's current models on sale include the G3i, P5, P7 and G9, and the company has officially unveiled the P7i, a facelift of the P7, on March 6, but not the price. Earlier today, a media report said that XPeng may officially let the P7i go on sale and announce the price on March 10.

TSLA.USIn most parts of the world, the Model 3 and Model Y are already based on the camera-only Tesla Vision solution.
Tesla is removing all the radars from the China-made Model Y crossover, following its practice in the US market.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology today released several documents, including a list of models that will be allowed to be sold in China, as well as change filings for some existing models, with the China-made Model Y included in the latter.
The public can submit feedback on these documents between March 9 and March 15 if they have comments.
Four models of Tesla -- TSL6480BEVAR0, TSL6480BEVAR2, TSL6480BEVBA4 and TSL6480BEVBA5 -- entered the change declaration catalog.
Their pages do not show Model Y, but previous information shows that all four model numbers are the crossover.
These four models of Tesla have added the expression "no radar" to their changed parameter values, according to their filing pages.
Tesla previously announced that it was beginning the transition to Tesla Vision by removing the radars from the Model 3 and Model Y, and plans to remove the device from the Model S and Model X as well.
Today, in most parts of the world, the Model 3 and Model Y are already based on the camera-only Tesla Vision solution.
The ultrasonic radars that are being removed by Tesla are typically placed on the front and rear bumpers or on the side of the vehicle to measure the distance of the vehicle from obstructions to help in scenarios including parking.
Tesla has a factory in Shanghai that makes the Model 3 sedan and Model Y. Tesla doesn't appear to have plans to remove the radar from the Model 3 for now, as it would need to declare it if it wants to do so.
Chinese consumers typically prefer roomier SUVs when buying cars, making the Model Y a popular choice in the country.
The Model Y sold 315,314 units at retail in China in full-year 2022, placing it No. 1 in the ranking of high-end SUV sales with a starting price above RMB 300,000 ($43,050), according to a list published by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on January 11.
In February, Tesla delivered 33,923 vehicles in China and exported 40,479 units from its Shanghai plant, according to the CPCA data released yesterday. Model 3 and Model Y sales breakdowns in China in February are currently unavailable.
On March 1, Tesla announced that the elastic and damping members in the suspension system of the China-made Model Y have been optimized to reduce bumps at low speeds and allow for a more stable ride at high speeds.
Giga Shanghai's Model Ys produced since January 1, 2023, are equipped with the updated suspension system, Tesla said.
