History

In August 2022, at the Chengdu Auto Show, Denza presented the Denza Inception Concept prototype heralding the second model creating a new model range after restructuring. [3] This vehicle was used extensively for the production car, which debuted in March 2023 under the name Denza N7, which took the form of an SUV Coupe with a gently sloping roofline sloping towards the rear. [4] [5]

Design

The silhouette of the N7 has features multiple embossments and imitation air intakes, as well as retractable door handles and extensive front full LED lighting. Thanks to the use of LIDARs placed in the body structure, N7 enables semi-autonomous driving. [6] The manufacturer decided to use ports located on both sides for charging the electrical system, placing them in the rear fenders. [7]

The passenger cabin features a large center console extending towards the dashboard. It consists of three displays, with a digital clock screen in front of the driver and a second display in front of the passenger. Between them there is a large, touch screen multimedia system. [8] A system from the French company Devialet was used for its sound system. [9]

Specifications

The basic electric version of the N7 powered by a 313-horsepower engine, while the top one has a power of 530 HP, both units of which are shared with the BYD Seal. [10] [11]
