Two configurations/Higher configuration is better: Denza N8L Buying Guide

On October 28th, the Denza N8L officially launched, with two configurations available for the initial release. In the large SUV market of 2025, competitors are launching numerous new 8-series or 9-series models. While Denza has already established a flagship product like the Denza N9, it lacked a spacious SUV in the 300,000 RMB price range, leading to the creation of the Denza N8L. So, how should you choose between the two configurations? This analysis of configurations and prices aims to provide a helpful reference for your decision.

New Vehicle Introduction: Beyond safety and luxury, it also excels in intelligence

 and technology.

The Denza N8L is officially defined as a "large six-seater safe luxury SUV." To achieve

 sufficient safety, the body structure extensively uses 2000MPa hot-formed steel in 

many key areas, and also features a four-layer high-strength A-pillar design,

 integrated CTB battery and body, and nine airbags throughout the vehicle, among

 other features.

The Denza N8L adopts the latest design language of the Denza family, with narrow headlights and a closed front grille creating a robust visual effect at the front. At the rear, the overall design remains square and rugged, with the Denza brand logo prominently displayed in the center of the parallel, narrow taillights, making it highly recognizable. In terms of dimensions, it measures 5200/1999/1820mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 3075mm. Compared to the Denza N9, it is 58mm shorter, 31mm narrower, 10mm lower, and has a 50mm shorter wheelbase.

Luxury has always been a core highlight of Denza models. The Denza N8L boasts a high-quality interior, featuring extensive use of environmentally friendly leather and translucent wood trim, along with double-sided soundproof glass to ensure a quiet cabin. Furthermore, the interior offers 128-color ambient lighting, a fragrance system, a panoramic sunroof, and soundproof and heat-insulating privacy glass.

In terms of intelligent cockpit, the N8L offers a 50-inch AR-HUD, a 13.2-inch instrument panel screen, a 17.3-inch central control screen, a 13.2-inch passenger-side extended screen, a 17.3-inch rear cabin entertainment screen, and a streaming rearview mirror, enabling multi-screen interconnection. It also features a 32MP pop-up camera for recording, video calls, and child monitoring. The voice control system incorporates an AI agent and the DeepSeek model, capable of answering various questions and controlling multiple in-vehicle functions. The infotainment interface can display dual-screen functions, aligning with current mainstream in-vehicle systems, and supports smartphone connectivity, microphone-free karaoke, sentry mode, and in-vehicle payment. All models come standard with a 20-speaker Devialet sound system, providing Dolby Atmos sound effects, making Denza's intelligent cockpit even more impressive.

The vehicle features a 6-seat layout, allowing for various configurations such as a front double bed or a four-person comfort mode. All seats can be reset with a single touch, and the trunk offers power folding seats. With the trunk floor reduced for added space, the maximum luggage capacity is 1128L, providing 49 storage spaces throughout the vehicle. The new car features 10-layer cloud-like seats with active side wing adjustment for the driver, ventilation, heating, and massage functions for the front and second-row seats, a zero-gravity seat for the front passenger, and heated seats in the third row. The second row comes standard with small tables and four-zone climate control. The new car also includes an 11L intelligent refrigerator that can hold 18 cans of cola. This time, the N8L equips rear passengers with a "refrigerator, TV, and large sofa."

In terms of power, the Denza N8L comes standard with a dedicated 2.0T high-efficiency engine for plug-in hybrids, coupled with a high-efficiency EHS electric hybrid system based on the plug-in hybrid platform. The engine boasts a maximum thermal efficiency of 44.13%, NEDC fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km, 0-100km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds, and a top speed of 220km/h. Equipped with a dedicated plug-in hybrid blade battery, it offers a pure electric range of 230km, a 30-80% fast charging time of just 19 minutes, and a combined range of 1300km. The standard three-motor configuration across the entire range delivers outstanding power, which is one of the Denza N8L's biggest highlights.

In terms of chassis, the Denza N8L is equipped with the Cloud Carrier A intelligent air body control system, which utilizes dual-chamber air springs and continuously adjustable electronically controlled shock absorbers to dynamically increase suspension stiffness and damping, reduce body roll, and raise the suspension by up to 50mm, improving off-road capability. Simultaneously, the system also features a pre-aiming function, scanning the road ahead with sensors and proactively adjusting the suspension based on road bumps and undulations detected. For driver assistance, the Denza N8L is equipped with the DiPilot 300 laser-assisted driving system, featuring one lidar unit that enables city/high-speed navigation assistance, automatic parking, and active safety functions.

Large SUVs have become a new battleground for Chinese brands. Competitors in this market not only excel in space, features, and intelligent performance, but also offer relatively balanced prices, catering to both family travel and business needs. The Denza N8L, in terms of cutting-edge technology, is equipped with advanced features such as Yisanfang's three-motor system, the Yunlian A platform, and the Tian Shen Yan B system. It also boasts a full range of comfort features, including a refrigerator, sofa, and large-screen TV, placing it firmly in the top tier among its rivals.
