Today's protagonist is from Denza, D9orN7? Neither, but Denza N8。of Denza brand new SUV model. This is the new trump card launched by Denza , strictly speaking, it is an important chess piece for the rapid formation of the new Denza Army, D9 sales exceeded 7,<>, N<> orders exceeded <>,<> after the listing, with the hot performance of predecessors in the subdivision, how can the SUV market be less of a large space SUV call.
Focus:
1. The cabin has good quietness, the materials are higher than those of Denza X, and the workmanship is maintained at a high level;
2. The power reserve is abundant, and the DM-p plug-in hybrid power brings as strong acceleration performance as always;
3. High energy replenishment efficiency, DC fast charging can support 90kW;
4. Compared with Denza X, the traction qualification is newly added and the reverse charging function is added;
5. The game cockpit is very alternative and ingenious, coaxing the giant baby artifact;
6. The three-row seat space of the seven-seat version is not suitable for long-distance travel, and the six-seat version is recommended.
Denza is undoubtedly lucky, with the opening of D9, the Denza brand has been able to rise rapidly, coupled with the back of the big tree to take advantage of the cool, under the continuous technical increase of BYD, it began to make a late attack. The emergence of Denza N8 satisfies some people who are obsessed with the brand, and at the same time can quickly expand the product lineup.
But it is estimated that some people will still think about how much difference there is between the Denza N8 and the BYD Tang DM-i, and even whether there is still a certain correlation with the previous Denza X? It is not difficult to understand these, look at the changes in the Denza N8, and the above problems will be solved.
First of all, the biggest change comes from the performance of power and chassis handling. The key element here is the Yunji system, which can greatly improve vehicle handling and overall comfort.
The Denza N8 DM-p super hybrid model is equipped with an EHS electric hybrid system + 1.5T Xiaoyun 40.12% high thermal efficiency engine, front motor power of 160kW, rear motor power of 200kW, zero hundred acceleration of 4.8 seconds, DC fast charge charging power of 90kW.
Under the (NEDC) standard, the DM-p super hybrid special power blade battery provides a pure electric cruising range of 216km, the advantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries have been brought into play again, stable + robust blade battery structure design, in line with BYD needle punch test standards, and also equipped with a liquid-cooled liquid-thermal battery management system. The comprehensive cruising range under NEDC conditions is 1030km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC 6km feed is 45.<>L (four-wheel drive).
Denza N8 adopts EHS hybrid system and flat wire motor technology, the maximum efficiency of the motor is 97.5%, the maximum speed is 16000rpm, and the high-efficiency oil cooling system is used to improve the heat dissipation efficiency again, and also increase the motor power density to 44.3kW/L. As mentioned earlier, Denza luck is extremely obvious here, other people's waist pole hardened all rely on self-reliance, but Denza has a good owner, what do you want.
The Gennza C system is used on the Denza N8 (here is different from the Yunjian A used in the Denza N7 (configuration | inquiry)). The Yunji C system installed on the Denza N8 is an intelligent damping body control system, which mainly relies on the solenoid valve to adjust the soft and hard of the suspension damping at any time, and then controls the body attitude, bringing better stability and comfort in bumpy sections and corners. Achieve the best balance between stability and comfort.
The actual driving experience can be divided into three parts. The first is the NVH experience, the front windshield and front windows of this Denza N8 are made of soundproof glass, which further isolates the introduction of external noise, and thanks to the driving characteristics of electric hybrids, especially when driven by EVs, the quietness is comparable to that of pure electric vehicles. When the engine intervenes, the speed climbs, and the noise increases, but fortunately, there is no particularly annoying noise transmitted into the cockpit, which does not interfere with normal conversation.
The second is power performance, DM-p's strong kinetic energy reserve provides this Denza N8 with a hearty sense of acceleration, even if the car is full of 5 people, the power performance is still not crotch-pulling. Acceleration overtaking is particularly easy, you just need to decisively press the gas pedal, the rest is in one go, Yunjian C performance is very stable, so that the N8 does not have that violent acceleration dizziness. In terms of kinetic energy recovery, it is divided into two gears: standard and strong, and it is recommended to choose the standard file. The feeling of dragging when collecting oil is not perceptible, and it is biased towards the experience of oil trucks. For some very sensitive people, it can effectively reduce their physical discomfort.
Another difference comes from the space layout, BYD Tang DM-i is currently only available in a 7-seat version, but on the Denza N8 there are 7 seats to choose from in addition to 6 seats.
Regarding the choice of 6 and 7 seats, I prefer the former, as the 2830mm wheelbase is not enough for the third row of the Denza N8 to have perfect performance. Therefore, whether it is a 6-seater or a 7-seater third row, it is best used for temporary emergencies. But if you choose 6 seats, the two independent seats in the second row can have a very comfortable sitting position and more functions, and I agree with what I said.
Denza N8 still has its own understanding of travel, this time N8 for the first time provides a middle-row double aviation table, which is standard for the whole system and meets the use of multiple scenarios, which can be "code farmer's mobile desk", can also be "temporary dressing table for Internet celebrities to rush to the scene", or "small dining table during the trip", with excellent practicality. Equipped with and exclusively designed mobile phone slots, water cup slots, tablet slots, each item can be placed on demand, providing a convenient car experience.
The set of Devialet sound on the Denza N7 brings a shocking listening experience, so that when you see not Devialet on the Denza N8, you have to ask suspiciously, where did Devialet go? After saying that Devialet is the exclusive answer of the Denza N7, this 12-speaker Dynaudio sound has once again become another focus of attention for the whole car.
This set of Dynaudio speakers is different from the performance of Devialet, Devialet's advantage is in the shocking bass, and this 12-speaker Dynaudio pays more attention to the original restoration, but the owner can set the Dynaudio sound characteristics and Dynaudio sound field focus. In terms of overall auditory experience, at least it is not inferior to other opponents in the same class.
The above is the main difference between Denza N8 and BYD Tang DM-i and even Denza X, familiar friends are still not difficult to see the connection between them, but the changes of Denza N8 are also very obvious, stronger power, higher configuration, sharper control once again elevate themselves.
After talking about power and space layout, it's time to take a look at the styling design of the Denza N8. When you first see the Denza N8, there is a sense of déjà vu, which can be divided into two, the headlamps in the upper area and the decorative band in the middle are very similar to the Denza X, and the new iconic "π-MOTION" in the lower half of Denza creates a stronger recognition. The most eye-catching thing is the two daytime running lights like "dragon whiskers", which make the N8 have a unique temperament in line with this identity.
In addition to ensuring sufficient brightness of the headlights, the 66 high-brightness LED light sources also create a new welcome light based on Morse code design, bringing the latest interactive experience with occupants. In terms of attracting young people, it can be said that it is painstaking, but the car owner has no cultural background, and he does not know that the N8 is greeting you.
The side lines are what I think is the best part of the N8, and even when parked there, the Denza N8 has a distinctly forward stance, with the large angled A-pillar for more perfect visual proportions and blends in with the smooth roof. The benefits of a high waist line not only provide better privacy, but also give the body a strong tension. With a length of 4949mm and a wheelbase of 2830mm, it does not overly highlight the data advantage, but the right proportions will perfectly present the elegant shape. Although it has similarities with the BYD Tang DM-i, there is no doubt that the Denza N8 is more compact and dynamic.
The D-pillar treatment of the Denza N8 has its own careful thinking, the chrome decoration around the whole circle is not completely closed, forming a sharp spike at the end, and then embedded with the Denza LOGO, creating a more extreme sensory experience in the details, so that the traditional D-pillar area is no longer a monotonous piece of glass, but more flexible and advanced.
On the BYD Tang, we have seen the manufacturer's big deal with tires and braking systems, and now the Denza N8 is also inherited, four Michelin 265/45 R21 silent tires, with front Brembo Brembo 6-piston brake calipers, you should be satisfied.
The rear of the Denza N8 is mainly heavy, the rounded hips are more generous, the shape is full and broad, and the wide rear wing not only adds a touch of sportiness, but also cleverly hides the rear wipers, making the rear window look more neat and fresh. The through-the-line taillights are slimmer and more agile, and the rear skid plate matches the front end in colour and style.
As expected, the interior of the Denza N8 is not stunning, at least not the bold, eclectic way on the Denza N7. The familiar large screen, familiar gear handle shape, and familiar air conditioning outlet are also the same as Denza X. However, it has put a lot of effort into the interior hardcovering, the workmanship and materials are at a high level, and the main body of the entire console is extended horizontally to the width as much as possible, and then covered with a large area of soft material.
8 screens are arranged on the Denza N3, instrument + central control screen + HUD head-up display. Well, it sounds a lot, but from the perspective of the current development of new energy vehicles, is this magnitude a bit of a loss compared with competing products? Fortunately, in terms of functionality, layout, display effect and reaction speed, it is top-notch. Another pity is that the flipped screen on the Tang has been replaced with a fixed one, which is a little less fun to fiddle with, and the size is slightly smaller.
As one of the standard features of the "sense of technology" experience, the Denza N8 is equipped with two imitation suede textured wireless charging bases with 2W fast charging under the air outlet, which are soft and non-slip and effectively protect the mobile phone from wear, which is a gospel for bare metal enthusiasts. It is also additionally equipped with a ventilation mesh design to help the phone dissipate heat.
The interior of the car is equipped with a suede roof as standard, which feels good and enhances the luxurious atmosphere of the whole car, with plump and delicate surface fluff and soft color. As one of the new outfits of the Denza N8, the cockpit is also equipped with a crystal kit, you can find built-in LED multi-color ambient lights on the crystal knob of the air outlet, multi-faceted cutting, refracting different brilliance. But the shape here, like the previous Denza X, lacks innovation.
It is also a pity that under such a beautiful ambient light, the Denza N8 gear handle style is quite similar to BYD's models, it is recommended to change to a more exquisite razor style or other designs, and can become an iconic area, you know that many old drivers have a soft spot for playing this area, why not do it?
As another "special equipment", the Denza N8 can choose an intelligent gaming cockpit, which has three connection solutions: game decoupling steering wheel, wireless controller, mobile phone virtual controller, and instant quick connection by scanning the code. While playing the game, the intelligent game cockpit will also carry out multi-body immersive linkage such as steering wheel vibration and air conditioning linkage according to the game state to achieve immersion. When the steering wheel is decoupled, it is separated from the steering system, but this kind of operation racing game requires longer adaptation. Or is it recommended that the King of Fighters 14 shown in the picture be shaken with a handle, who remembers how Mary's big move was placed?
Outdoor camping is also one of the current very popular scenes, Denza N8 comes with a 1.5-ton towing qualification, this configuration is also more comprehensive, users can add accessories according to their own needs. At the same time, it also supports up to 6kW of external discharge power, so it can meet most household appliances when camping. This function has also become a major trend of mainstream new energy vehicle standard, the main thing is convenience.
Finally, a little bit of intelligence, how can the car in 2023 be less intelligent configuration. Not to mention Denza N8, Denza N24 is equipped with the Denza Pilot system, a total of 5 sensors and cameras participate in intelligent driving assistance, 1R12V + 4 ultrasonic + 2 surround view + DMS + driving recorder, which can achieve L<> level assisted driving, and the integrated parking function can realize vertical parking, horizontal parking, and oblique parking. It is also equipped with a transparent chassis function, which can be viewed in full perspective or selected according to your own preferences, which can help the driver better predict the road ahead and improve the passability performance during the traversing experience.
Other active safety aspects, front and rear lateral collision warning; It is equipped with front and rear lateral impact brakes. The intelligent navigation ICC and adaptive cruise ACC can further reduce the driving intensity, especially suitable for high-speed cruising conditions. Another interesting point is DMS driver monitoring assistance, including fatigue monitoring, distraction monitoring, long-term driving reminder, dangerous action function, the system through the DMS camera to the driver's eye vision, mouth opening and closing, head posture, eye tension, phone call and other continuous behavior, once found, immediately alert. Actual measurement, extremely high sensitivity, eyes slightly off, voice assistant immediately reminded.
Conclusion:
As a high-end sequence, the pricing of the Denza N8 must be more than 30,8, which will face BBA's mid-size SUV head-on, as well as some models of Wei Xiaoli, and the excellent endurance of DM-p makes the mileage anxiety disappear; A quieter, more luxurious cockpit can also satisfy discerning aesthetics; The complete intelligent configuration is mainly worry-free driving, and even the game cockpit brings a new experience. After the future launch of the Denza N9, it will form a wider coverage of the Denza Army with D7 and N8. However, the flaws are not hidden, and the interior still lacks innovative highlights, which should be improved and changed in subsequent facelifts. For such a Denza N<>, how much do you expect it to perform?
