Toyota's watching! China's luxury 4WD shot (Denza B8 2026 Review)

The Chinese-sourced Denza B8, a plug-in hybrid-powered all-terrain wagon set to take on the likes of Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series and the GWM Tank 500, has finally hit Australian terra firma. Measuring in at 5.2 metres in length and with body-on-frame construction, the B8 packs a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine paired with two electric motors for 425kW and 760Nm combined, returning 100kms of EV driving or a total range of 905kms. The luxury wagon is offered as a seven-seater priced from $91,000 before on-roads, or $97,990 list in six-pew configuration. Chasing Cars production specialist Tom Place takes the Denza B8 on and off-road to assess its all-rounder chops, delves into the tech and luxury on offer and decides whether this 3.3-tonne petrol-electric newcomer to the big wagon landscape is worth shortlisting as a go-anywhere family truckster.
