BYD's premium brand Denza has cut the price of its B5 plug-in hybrid SUV by more than $7000.

BYD's premium brand Denza has discounted 2025-built examples of its B5 plug-in hybrid SUV by more than $7000 as it clears existing stock. The five-seat B5 is now priced at $74,990 drive-away, with Denza effectively paying the on-road costs. This represents a saving of more than $7000 compared with the previous drive-away price of $82,138 for customers with a Sydney 2000 postcode. The higher-spec B5 Leopard is priced at $79,990 drive-away for selected 2025-build vehicles, compared with $87,388 drive-away for vehicles produced in 2026.

The B5 is pitched as a rival to the Toyota Prado and Land Rover Defender. It comes in two model grades: the entry-level B5 and the B5 Leopard. Both variants are powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and a pair of electric motors, one for each axle, with combined outputs of 400kW of power and 760Nm of torque. The electric drivetrain is powered by a 31.8kWh lithium iron phosphate battery for a claimed zero-emissions driving range of 90km.

Denza's terms and conditions confirm the offers only apply to new 2025-build vehicles in selected exterior and interior colours, with higher prices for vehicles fitted with options. Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, leather seat upholstery, a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 16-speaker audio system.
