Cockpit

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.[1] 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.[2][3]

The silhouette of the N7 has been enriched with numerous 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.[4] The manufacturer decided to use ports located on both sides for charging the electrical system, placing them in the rear fenders.[5]

The passenger cabin has a luxurious design, with a massive 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.[6] An extensive system from the French company Devialet was used for sound reinforcement.[7]

Much in the veins of the D9, the N7 is a car designed with two types of drive in mind: electric or hybrid.[8] The basic electric version is powered by a 313-horsepower engine, while the top one has a power of 530 HP, both units of which are borrowed from the BYD Seal.[9] The hybrid variant takes the form of a plug-in, with the possibility of charging the battery from a socket with an internal combustion engine as the so-called range extender.[10]
