Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Denza B8 is a seven-seat executive SUV with a 2.0-litre petrol plug-in hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive. It suits buyers who need three rows but want PHEV running potential and 4x4 hardware rather than a conventional luxury SUV. Prices start from RM459,939.

B8 in 2026 — what's new

The B8 is a new-for-2026 model, launched in Malaysia in May. It carries on unchanged following that launch, with Dynamic and Premium grades. Both are seven-seat, all-wheel-drive 2.0-litre petrol plug-in hybrids, and the B8 gets DiSus-P active suspension. Launch information identifies a six-seat configuration too, but the Malaysian Dynamic and Premium listings are both seven-seaters.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the Dynamic at RM459,939. The Premium costs RM519,939, creating a RM60,000 gap. Both grades are listed with the same 1,997 cc petrol plug-in hybrid powertrain, 862 hp, all-wheel drive, single-ratio automatic transmission and seven seats. On paper, you are paying for Premium trim rather than mechanicals, so only spend more after checking that its equipment list contains features you genuinely want.

Verdict

The B8 brings an unusual mix of three-row practicality, PHEV hardware and DiSus-P active suspension to the executive SUV class. It costs more than the Mazda CX-80 and Volkswagen Touareg. It also sits above the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7, while undercutting the Audi Q8 e-tron and Lexus RX. The price demands that buyers place real value on its plug-in hybrid drivetrain and seven-seat layout.
