2026 Denza B8 Price in Australia

The Denza B8 is a large plug-in hybrid 4X4 designed for Australian buyers who want genuine towing and off-road capability without giving up electric commuting or premium three-row comfort. It is sold as the seven-seat B8 7S and six-seat B8 6S. Both use a body-on-frame platform, while the six-seater replaces the middle bench with individual captain's chairs and adds selected luxury and off-road equipment. This gives families and touring buyers a clear choice between maximum seating capacity and a more exclusive second-row experience.

Performance comes from Denza's DMO Super Hybrid system, combining a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with powerful front and rear electric motors. Maximum combined output is 425kW, with immediate electric response helping this very large SUV accelerate strongly. A 36.8kWh Blade Battery enables roughly 100km of electric-only driving on the WLTC test cycle, making many daily trips possible without using petrol when the vehicle is charged regularly. DC fast-charging support is unusual and useful for a plug-in hybrid, while vehicle-to-load capability can run compatible equipment at a campsite or work location.

The B8 is engineered for more than sealed-road commuting. Four-wheel drive, a standard rear differential lock and a broad selection of road, terrain and specialised drive modes support low-grip travel. The 6S also receives an electronically actuated front differential lock. Denza's DiSus-P system can adjust ride height and suspension stiffness, helping reconcile off-road clearance with on-road stability. A 3500kg braked towing rating gives the B8 meaningful caravan and trailer capability, although available payload, towball mass and gross combination limits must still be checked for each intended towing setup.

Inside, the B8 combines large displays with extensive comfort equipment. Highlights include a 17.3-inch central touchscreen, 12.3-inch driver display, head-up display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 18-speaker 800-watt Devialet audio system, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seating and a refrigerator and hotbox. The 7S uses a 2+3+2 layout, while the 6S adopts a 2+2+2 arrangement with Nappa leather, second-row massage and power leg rests. Cargo capacity is naturally modest with every seat occupied but expands substantially as the rear rows are folded.

The B8 has achieved a five-star ANCAP safety rating. Its safety package includes autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane support, forward and rear cross-traffic assistance, driver monitoring, safe-exit warning, parking sensors and a surround-view camera. Airbag coverage extends across all three rows. These systems are valuable on a vehicle measuring 5195mm long and 1994mm wide, though buyers should still test visibility, parking manoeuvrability and assistance-system behaviour in familiar conditions.

There are important ownership trade-offs. At roughly 3.3 tonnes, the B8 is heavy, and energy and fuel use will increase with towing, high speeds, difficult terrain or a depleted battery. Drivers who rarely plug in may miss much of the efficiency benefit of the PHEV system. Its large dimensions also require suitable garage space, while replacement tyres and other consumables may cost more than those for a conventional family SUV. Australian exterior colours are Eclipse Black, Alpine White, Nebula Silver and Dawn Gold. With its combination of six- or seven-seat luxury, electric commuting, strong performance and serious touring hardware, the B8 is unusually versatile, but it delivers its best value to owners who will use several of those capabilities.
