Denza, a subsidiary of the Chinese EV Car manufacturer BYD, recently unveiled its flagship SUV, the N9, at the Guangzhou Auto Show in China. The brand is all geared up to launch the N9 SUV in China in the year 2025. The SUV will be available in both plug-in hybrid and electric variants.

BYD reportedly intends to introduce the N9 SUV in several domestic as well as international markets, not just in China.

According to the Indian government’s patent, design, and trademark database, BYD has filed a new design patent for N9 Electric in India as well. With the design patent currently being filed in India, it is expected that the flagship SUV model will be launched in India in the coming years.

The design of the flagship N9 SUV has now been patented in India under the company BYD’s name, raising speculations about whether the company will be launching the vehicle in India.

It is crucial to note that filing a patent does not guarantee that the manufacturer will launch the vehicle in the market. Sometimes, the patents are filed just to ensure the security of the product design.

Final Thoughts

Denza is a high-end automobile brand that was established in 2010 as a joint venture between BYD Auto and Daimler(Mercedes-Benz Group), focused on the development of premium electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Later, Mercedes-Benz sold its holding stake in Denza to BYD, making it the sole owner of the brand in 2024.

BYD currently has three electric vehicles in its Indian portfolio: The eMax7 MPV, the Atto 3, and the Seal EV.

The Chinese EV giant has been receiving a positive response from the Indian market so far and it looks like the brand is now attempting to take advantage of the same by launching new models in the country. It aims to target the premium EV segment with this launch.
