Denza B5 (Fangchengbao Bao 5) & Denza Z9 GT Right-Hand-Drive Prototypes Spotted Testing in Melbourne & UK!
-
Executive Summary & Key Takeaways: Right-hand-drive factory evaluation vehicles of the Denza B5 (Fangchengbao Bao 5 DMO 4x4 SUV) and Denza Z9 GT Shooting Brake have been spotted testing on public roads in Victoria and the UK ahead of showroom launches!

1. Platform Engineering & Core Hardware Breakdown
Figure 1: Denza Z9 GT & Luxury Lineup — showcasing BYD’s flagship e³ tri-motor torque vectoring and active rear-wheel steering.
Confirmed Highlights for Denza B5 RHD:
- 505 kW / 760 Nm DMO Super Hybrid body-on-frame 4x4 chassis
- Front & rear electronic differential locks + DiSus-P hydraulic height-adjustable suspension
- 3,000 kg braked towing capacity on the RHD export specification!
2. Technical Specifications & Architecture Comparison
Figure 2: Off-Road & Hydraulic Control: Denza B5 / B8 body-on-frame DMO 4x4 chassis equipped with DiSus-P active hydraulic suspension.
Below is the complete engineering and specification breakdown across the export powertrain and chassis architecture:
Technical Parameter Official BYD Specification & Benchmark Flagship Platforms e³ Tri-Motor / e⁴ Quad-Motor & DMO 4x4 Super Hybrid Active Suspension Suite DiSus-C (Damping), DiSus-A (Air) & DiSus-P (Hydraulic) Rear-Axle Steering Up to ±10° Counter-Phase Steering (4.62m Turning Radius) Peak System Power 505 kW to 710 kW (965 hp) with Millisecond Torque Vectoring 3. Real-World Ownership Impact, Safety & Regional Availability
From a long-term ownership perspective, the combination of Cobalt-Free LFP Blade Battery chemistry, Cell-to-Body (CTB) / Cell-to-Chassis (CTC) structural rigidity, and over-the-air (DiLink OTA) software refinement ensures strong residual values and low scheduled maintenance costs across both right-hand-drive (ANZ/UK) and European markets.

505 kW / 760 Nm with front & rear diff locks, DiSus-P hydraulic lift suspension, and 3,000 kg towing makes the Denza B5 a serious LandCruiser Prado 250 / Defender 110 rival!
@Zoe_Seal Sharing the DMO architecture with the Shark 6 means Australian and NZ service centres are already trained on the hybrid drivetrain too.
