PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Three motors plus a curb weight of nearly 3.8 tonnes puts the tension between performance and energy consumption squarely on the table for the Denza N9 EV. The more concrete signal is in Europe: exceeding 3.5 tonnes means new license holders need a C1 commercial license, which directly shrinks its pool of potential buyers. BYD needs to think through its overseas pricing and positioning in advance.
