🏠 Spacious Luxury for the Whole Family
The Denza N8L measures 5.2 meters in length, nearly 2 meters in width, and 1.82 meters in height, with a 3.075-meter wheelbase. Its flat door design gives it a sleek and minimalist look. Inside, the N8L offers a generous 6.11 square meters of cabin space, providing over 1 square meter per occupant.
The third-row seats are adjustable in both recline and fore-aft movement. When the vehicle is unlocked, it automatically lowers by 5 cm for easier entry and exit—especially helpful for children and elderly passengers. With 49 storage compartments throughout the cabin and a 51-liter hidden storage box in the trunk, the N8L clearly caters to family needs.
⚙️ Powertrain: Hybrid with Stunning Performance
The N8L features a 2.0T engine paired with three electric motors, producing a total system output of 762 horsepower. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, with a braking distance of 35.4 meters. Despite its 5.2-meter body length, it boasts an impressive turning radius of only 4.58 meters, making it surprisingly nimble.
The vehicle offers a pure electric range of 230 km and a combined range of up to 1300 km, powered by BYD’s signature Blade LFP battery for safety and longevity.
🛞 Suspension & Comfort: Smooth Ride, Smart Control
The chassis employs a front double wishbone and rear five-link suspension, enhanced by Cloud-Peak A (Yun Nian-A) — an intelligent air suspension system. It automatically adjusts suspension height and stiffness according to road conditions, providing the perfect balance between comfort and handling.
In real-world driving, the N8L handles large bumps confidently and filters out small vibrations effectively. Cabin noise insulation is excellent, and rear-wheel steering greatly improves maneuverability on tight roads—making U-turns and parking much easier for such a large SUV.
🛡️ Safety: The Core Strength of Denza N8L
Safety is one of the N8L’s strongest selling points. The vehicle uses 2000 MPa hot-formed steel in key body structures and features nine airbags. Its integrated battery-body design enhances rigidity and crash safety.
According to official tests, the N8L can withstand a 25-ton rollover and roof crush test, with extremely strong A-pillars and roof strength. On the active safety side, it has successfully passed high-speed moose tests, tire blowout tests, and emergency obstacle avoidance evaluations.
Additionally, it includes a Life Guardian System, using cameras to monitor the driver’s condition in real time for added safety.
🤖 Intelligent Driving & Smart Cabin
The N8L comes standard with the “God’s Eye B” Advanced Driver Assistance Laser Edition, which supports intelligent parking. Future software updates will add features like automatic valet parking and multi-scenario parking assistance.
Inside the smart cockpit, an AI assistant allows users to order food, control smart home devices, and perform daily operations via voice. It also features a 17.3-inch entertainment screen, a 20-speaker premium audio system, and an 11-liter in-car refrigerator, ensuring both comfort and entertainment.
🧳 Third Row Space: Truly Usable
The N8L’s third-row comfort is impressive — even a 1.8-meter-tall adult can sit comfortably with knee room to spare. When all six seats are occupied, the trunk still accommodates four suitcases, and with the third row folded down, the storage expands significantly.
Practical touches like gesture-controlled doors and a hands-free power tailgate make life easier when carrying children or groceries.
⚔️ Market Competition & Positioning
The 30–40 million RMB SUV market is heating up. With its combination of price, technology, and practicality, the Denza N8L is set to compete with major rivals such as:
Li Auto L8 (RMB 321,800–379,800)
Lynk & Co 900 (RMB 309,900–416,900)
AITO M8 (RMB 359,800–449,800)
Denza’s sibling model, the N9, sold 2,524 units in September, ranking 7th among large NEV SUVs in China.
💡 Final Thoughts
With its spacious layout, advanced intelligent features, strong performance, and family-focused design, the Denza N8L delivers a solid balance between practicality and luxury.
