BYD's Upcoming Denza N9 Luxury Electric SUV Weighs in at Over 8,200 Pounds

The massive heft places the three-row EV in the same heavyweight territory as vehicles like the GMC Hummer EV. That sheer mass could present hurdles for energy efficiency, tire degradation, and standard passenger vehicle licensing limits.
