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.
