Daimler and BYD unveil China-only EV with 500km range
Daimler and Chinese partner BYD have launched a new electric vehicle solely for the Chinese market.
The new Denza 500 offers a 500km range
Developed by the firms’ Denza joint venture using Daimler’s vehicle architecture with BYD’s battery technology, the Denza 500 builds on the previous 400 model with revised styling and a 500km range due to the introduction of new battery technology and reduced weight.
Denza Auto was established in 2011 as a dedicated battery electric vehicle brand and is sold through selected Mercedes-Benz dealer partners.
