It also gets a weight reduction compared to the previous model, which uses a 62kWh battery range and can travel for up to 400 km (249 miles) on a single charge.<\/p>\n<p>No technical details have been announced yet, but the Denza 500 is seen as an important contributor to the &#8220;development of electric mobility in China&#8220;. as Daimler put its. It&#8217;s also said to be able to cope with extreme weather after being tested in temperatures as low as -40C (-40F).<\/p>\n<p>Things haven\u2019t changed that much inside, but the company mentions a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that&#8217;s larger than before. Features such as smartphone connectivity, navigation system, climate control, multi-function steering wheel and leather upholstery are also available, while the foot-operated parking brake appears to have been replaced by an electronic one.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the 400, the Denza 500 EV is aimed solely at the Chinese market, where it&#8217;s expected to go on sale later this year.<\/p>\n<h3 \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/cars2news\/wp-content\/picss\/0114\/3fv0h3az2oy.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/cars2news\/wp-content\/picss\/0114\/035qfbuo45o.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/cars2news\/wp-content\/picss\/0114\/wdcqcfhvdd2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/cars2news\/wp-content\/picss\/0114\/04bqecgtpku.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/demo6.aiwalls.com\/cars2news\/wp-content\/picss\/0114\/cuhjkmmlxru.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>more photos&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Created by the Denza brand, which is part of the Daimler and BYD joint venture, it&#8217;s actually an evolved version of the Denza 400 that was launched two years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[222],"tags":[404,718,717,444,246],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1354"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.icaridea.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
