Expected Price and Import Route
Denza D9 is expected to cost between ₹85 lakh and ₹95 lakh, while Denza Z9 GT will have a price tag of ₹1.25 crore to ₹1.35 crore. There are, however, other higher estimates available, which place the price of D9 between ₹1 crore to ₹1.10 crore., so we will not know until Denza gives official word.
Both of these vehicles are expected to be imported as CBU imports, which usually implies high pricing as compared to locally manufactured vehicles. To put this in comparison, the MG M9 starts at ₹79.94 lakh, and thus it is expected that D9 will come at a price higher than that of its major competitor.
