With the announcement of the new tax structure for CBU fully-imported EVs, Denza has finally confirmed 2026 prices for the D9 MPV, now that the car is no longer tax-free. The Toyota Alphard and Vellfire rival is set to become 15% more expensive than last year.
Prices are now RM299,000 for the Advanced FWD model and RM355,000 for the Premium AWD; these figures are nett without on-the-road costs, and you will now need to pay more for road tax – another tax reinstated this year (RM335 for FWD, RM485 for AWD).
By comparison, the D9 previously retailed at RM259,000 for the FWD variant and RM309,000 with AWD, so you’re looking at an increase of RM40,000 and RM46,000 respectively. If that’s a tough pill to swallow, there are limited 2025 units with their tax-free prices locked in as announced last week, so you better hurry.
To recap, the D9 is powered by a single front motor producing 313 PS (230 kW) and 360 Nm of torque, juiced by a 103.6 kWh Blade LFP battery for a WLTP-rated range of 520 km. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version boosts outputs to 374 PS (270 kW) and 470 Nm and adds DiSus-C adaptive dampers, but the range suffers as a result, dropping to 480 km.
The announcement comes as the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) revealed the new tax structure for CBU EVs. The base rate is 30% import duty, 10% excise duty and 10% sales tax, meaning that some cars will be taxed as much as 50%. However, cars from China (like the D9) receive a preferential import duty rate of just 5% thanks to the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA), resulting in a total tax of 25%.
