The Chinese are launching a luxury rival for Porsche and Mercedes. How the new Denza Z car from BYD looks

While the Z 9 GT's performance numbers might put it in the Porsche category, its pricing in China says otherwise. The Denza model is priced between 334,800 and 414,800 yuan, roughly equivalent to $45,800 and $56,800, while comparable Porsche models, such as the Panamera Sport Turismo and Taycan Cross Turismo, start at around $138,000 and easily exceed $205,000, depending on the trim and engine.
