Question 1

How much does the 2026 Denza B5 Base cost in Australia?

Accepted Answer

$74,990 before on-road costs, or $81,221 driveaway in Victoria. The flagship Leopard sits $5,000 above at $79,990 RRP.

Question 2

What is the Denza B5 and how does it relate to BYD?

Accepted Answer

Denza is BYD's premium sub-brand. The B5 is sold through BYD's Australian dealer network as a separate Denza-badged offering, sitting above the regular BYD lineup. Same relationship as Lexus to Toyota.

Question 3

How far can the B5 go on electricity alone?

Accepted Answer

Up to 100km on the NEDC cycle from the 31.8kWh BYD Blade LFP battery. Real-world range will sit closer to 70 to 80km, which still covers most weekday commuting on electricity alone before the petrol engine kicks in.

Question 4

Is the Denza B5 a proper off-roader?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It rides on body-on-frame ladder-frame construction (not a unibody crossover), gets electrically-actuated front and rear differential locks, double-wishbone suspension front and rear, and is engineered for serious 4WD work. The Leopard variant adds DiSus-P adjustable hydraulic suspension.

Question 5

Can the B5 tow?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with a 3,000kg braked towing capacity. That covers most caravans and trailers, though it is short of the 3,500kg rating of utes and heavier 4WDs in this segment.

Question 6

What ANCAP safety rating does the Denza B5 have?

Accepted Answer

Five stars under the 2023-2025 ANCAP protocol, tested in 2025. Adult occupant 86%, child occupant 95%, vulnerable road user 74%, safety assist 78%. Rating expires December 2031 and applies to both Base and Leopard variants.

Question 7

What safety equipment is standard on the B5?

Accepted Answer

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting airbags, plus a centre airbag for front-seat occupants. AEB (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction & Crossing, Backover, Head-On), lane keep assist, lane departure warning, emergency lane keeping and a speed sign recognition system are all standard.
