Exceptional Performance and Broad Range Ability
Denza B5 is ultra-modern and leading technology. Fully redefining the meaning of “slow” and “diesel” is the Denza B5. The SUV incorporates a 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine with high output dual electric motors (one on each axle) with a combined output of an estimated 425 kW and 760 Nm of torque. This allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a remarkable 4.8 seconds. The 31.8 kWh Blade Battery offers a pure electric range of 100 km (NEDC). This allows commuting with zero emissions to be made a reality. Add the petrol engine and the total combined range is nearly 975 km. This allows for long-distance touring across vast landscapes without stopping to charge the vehicle.
Innovative Tech and Charging Versatility
The Denza B5’s efficiency doesn’t stop with its powertrain. The model offers 100 kW DC Fast Charging, meaning batteries at 30% can be juiced up to 80% in around 20 minutes. Plus, it offers a compact 11 kW AC charger to top up overnight at home. Another amazing model feature is its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability. This allows the Denza B5 to function as a mobile power unit with 6.6 kW output to power appliances and tools like coffee machines and power tools; perfect for camping. Plus, the “Leopard” trim provides specs with the game-changing DiSus-P intelligent hydraulic body control system. This is the first of its kind, allowing real-time changes to body height and stiffness to increase comfort on highways and increase trail clearance on rocky terrain.
