​The Denza Bao 5 Debuts At BYD Waterlooville

A car dealership in Waterlooville recently hosted a special weekend in partnership with an exciting new manufacturer.

The company in the spotlight was Denza – a premium sub-brand of BYD, the Chinese EV and PHEV specialist which has been taking the country by storm since its arrival on our shores three years ago.

Three examples of the Denza Bao 5 were on display at Snows BYD Waterlooville, with potential customers taking them on test-drives around the town. Among those to make a purchase was dentist Dr Ian Kendal, who declared himself ‘‘thoroughly impressed’’ by the car, a striking SUV which has been described as ‘‘powerful, superbly equipped and ruggedly handsome’’.

Produced as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), its powertrain features a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with front and rear electric motors.

Dr Kendal said he was delighted to be among the first Denza owners in the UK, adding: ‘‘The car performed perfectly on our test-drive – I was impressed with the performance, the braking and the ride quality. It was a very pleasant, exciting and fulfilling drive.

‘‘The build quality is great and I have been after a car that is modern and has plenty of useful technology. I also love the fact that it’s a hybrid.’’

Originally established in 2010 as a joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz Group (then Daimler), Denza has evolved from a niche joint venture into a BYD flagship premium brand, with a strong focus on luxury, advanced EV technology, and high-performance plug-in hybrid systems.

The event at Snows BYD Waterlooville came as work continues apace on the site. It’s undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment project to enable it to house as many cars from the BYD line-up as possible, plus the new Denza models that will be arriving soon.

So far, work on the premises has focused on the workshop, with attention turning to the showroom space later this year.
