Although, the Denza MPV will be launched in the next few months, here are a few of its key features -

• While the electric variant offers an estimated range of around 600 km, making it ideal for long trips, the plug-in hybrid allows for flexibility in fuel use and driving modes.

• The interior is the part where the MPV truly shines, all thanks to its premium leather upholstery, multi-zone climate control, and panoramic sunroof.
• Its seats are plush and comfortable, with ample space for both the driver and passengers. The second-row seats can recline fully, making it ideal for buyers looking for a high-end, comfortable travel experience.

• In terms of technology, the Denza D9 boasts a 15.6-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
