It's known in its Chinese domestic market as the Fangchengbao Leopard Bao 5, but in Australia it'll likely be called the 2026 Denza B5. Either way, this new four-wheel-drive (4WD) has its proverbial sights set on the new Toyota LandCruiser Prado 250 Series, and it will do so with a more potent version of the related BYD Shark 6 dual pick-up's plug-in hybrid powertrain. Yep, the B5 is firming as one of the first models Down Under for the Denza brand, which is a premium spin-off of BYD – similar to Lexus' relationship with Toyota. But the big news is what is under the new 4WD's bonnet: a 145kW 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that's paired with two permanent magnet synchronous electric motors, making combined power and torque outputs of 505kW and 760Nm. Big numbers. In this expert review, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson travels to China to get an early taste of the B5 ahead of its potential Australian release date. #Denza #B5 #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:34 Design 01:43 Practicality 04:53 Under the bonnet 05:35 Efficiency 05:55 Driving 06:28 Verdict -- Read Tim's full review: https://bit.ly/4l31hDp Check out our Denza B5 hub: https://bit.ly/3SMBmE3 Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/3QVs1X1 Visit our EVGuide: https://bit.ly/3UHO9GT -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
