Denza B8 2027 review Australia: 6S | Best new plug-in hybrid 4WD for large families?

In this video, Emily Agar reviews the 2027 Denza B8 6S to evaluate its credentials as a family focused luxury transport option. Positioned as an upper-large SUV, this newly arrived plug-in hybrid model lands in the Australian market with a choice of two core specifications. The entry-grade 7S offers a seven-seat layout, while the flagship 6S tested here features a six-seat configuration designed to capture premium buyers.

The exterior highlights a commanding road presence, while the interior focuses on physical space and individual comfort. Key features include second-row captain’s chairs, an integrated dual-mode centre fridge and an 18-speaker Devialet sound system. High-quality materials like Nappa leather line the cabin, though the raised floor layout affects the second-row seating position and overall adult ergonomics.

On the road, the petrol-electric system delivers 425kW of power through a dual-motor four-wheel-drive setup. The hydraulic adaptive suspension handles straight-line cruising well, but the heavy body-on-frame platform impacts on-road dynamics and steering feel. At its price point, the model presents a technology-heavy package when weighed against large SUV alternatives like the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, Nissan Patrol and Land Rover Defender.
