Denza B8 Pricing Confirmed: BYD’s Luxury Beast Arrives in Australia

Denza, the premium offshoot of Chinese automotive giant BYD, has officially confirmed the Australian pricing for its formidable new off-roader, the Denza B8. Positioning itself directly against established heavyweights like the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series and Nissan Patrol, the B8 arrives with a plug-in hybrid powertrain and significant luxury appointments.

The Denza B8 pricing strategy aggressively undercuts its main rivals. Launching with two distinct variants, it aims to disrupt the upper-large SUV segment by offering “next-level tech and luxury” at a price point that starts well below the six-figure mark for the entry model.

Denza B8 Pricing and Grades

The Denza B8 pricing is straightforward, offering just two highly specified grades based on seating configuration.

• Denza B8 7S (7-Seater): Priced from $91,000 plus on-road costs.
• Denza B8 6S (6-Seater): Priced from $97,990 plus on-road costs.

To put this into perspective, the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series starts at over $98,000 for the base GX model and climbs significantly higher. The B8’s aggressive positioning means buyers can step into a fully loaded, high-performance hybrid luxury SUV for less than the price of a basic diesel workhorse from competitors.

Powertrain and Performance

Under the bonnet, both B8 variants share a potent plug-in hybrid system. This “Super Hybrid” setup pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with twin electric motors (one on each axle) for a massive combined output.

• Power: 425 kW
• Torque: 760 Nm
• 0-100 km/h: 4.8 seconds

This makes the B8 significantly faster than its diesel V6 and V8 rivals. Power is stored in a 36.8 kWh BYD Blade battery. This provides a claimed electric-only driving range of 100km, allowing for emissions-free daily commuting while retaining the long-range capability of a petrol engine for outback touring.

Off-Road Capability

Despite its luxury focus, the B8 is built to handle tough terrain.

• Towing Capacity: 3.5 tonnes (braked)
• Wading Depth: 890mm
• Suspension: DiSus-P hydraulic body control system with height adjustment.
• Differential Locks: The 7S features an electronic rear differential lock, while the range-topping 6S adds a front differential lock for ultimate traction.

Interior Luxury and Tech

The cabin is where the Denza B8 truly differentiates itself from traditional 4x4s. The interior is dominated by a massive 17.3-inch central infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital driver display.

The 7S vs. 6S Difference

• Denza B8 7S: Features a 2-3-2 seating layout with a second-row bench. It includes heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats.
• Denza B8 6S: Swaps the middle bench for two “captain’s chairs,” creating a 2-2-2 layout. This flagship model gains premium Nappa leather upholstery and extends the heating, ventilation, and massage functions to the second-row passengers. It also adds a head-up display for the driver.

Both models ride on 20-inch alloy wheels and feature an 18-speaker Devialet sound system, ensuring a premium experience regardless of the chosen trim.

Warranty and Servicing

Denza has confirmed that its vehicles will be backed by a strong aftersales package to reassure Australian buyers.

• Vehicle Warranty: 6 years / 150,000 km
• Battery Warranty: 8 years / 160,000 km
• Roadside Assistance: 3 years

Service intervals and capped-price servicing costs are yet to be finalized. However, the brand is rapidly expanding its footprint, with 25 dealerships planned by the end of next year.

Conclusion

With the confirmed Denza B8 pricing, BYD’s luxury arm has thrown down the gauntlet. Offering supercar-like acceleration, genuine off-road specs, and a lavish interior for under $100,000 is a bold move that demands attention.

Does the promise of 425kW and a luxury interior tempt you away from a LandCruiser?
