EV sales in Australia have been experiencing a significant surge, accounting for a remarkable 7.2 percent of all new car sales in the year 2023. This notable figure marks a staggering 291% increase in comparison to the previous year, signalling a robust and accelerating shift towards electric mobility in the Australian automotive market.

According to data from carexpert.com.au, The top seven EVs sold in Australia are: Tesla Model Y and Model 3, BYD Atto 3, MG ZS EV, Volvo XC40, Polestar 2, and Volvo C40. However, none of those models have 6-seaters for a large family.

Good news is that iEV team has found two new models that could meet your demand: Denza D9 and Li-L9.

Denza D9 is a luxury MPV produced by a joint company between BYD and Mercedes-Benz. The D9 below has a six-seat, three-row layout, and a cabin laden with tech, including no fewer than seven screens – three in the front cabin and a pair each for the middle-row passengers, with individual infotainment displays and small smartphone-sized controllers for the business class-style seats. Those seats also incorporate 10-way adjustment and a 10-point massage function.

Denza D9 would be BYD’s biggest-battery car, since its capacity is 103kWh (compared to Model Y’s stand battery size of 68kWh); the car has a range of as much as 620km based on China’s NEDC testing process.

This luxury MPV is not available in Australia yet, and the selling price overseas is from approximately AUD82,000.
