Verdict
The Denza B8 Premium costs RM60,000 more, yet its 192 hp petrol engine, twin motors rated at 670 hp and 760 Nm, 36.8-kWh battery, 100-km EV range and 4.8-second 0-100 km/h time are unchanged. Both also get the same DiSus-P hydraulic suspension, nine airbags and 18-speaker Devialet system. The Premium’s case rests on a head-up display and second-row captain seats with massage. For buyers who regularly carry two pampered rear passengers, those are tangible gains; for families needing a 60:40 split second row, the Dynamic is the sharper buy.
Pick the Denza B8 Dynamic if you want the same 670-hp twin-motor PHEV hardware and a more flexible 60:40 split-folding second row for RM60,000 less.
Pick the Denza B8 Premium if a head-up display and massaging second-row captain seats matter more to you than the Dynamic’s 60:40 second-row split.
