BYD will bring its most advanced autonomous driving system to Europe with the Denza Z9 GT in 2027

The Denza Z9 GT will be one of the stars of BYD’s new offensive in Europe. The Chinese brand aims to strengthen its focus on autonomous driving technology and is preparing the introduction of a feature that will enable the car to navigate complex urban environments, always under clear driver supervision.

The announcement was made at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, where the brand’s officials confirmed that the model will feature this technology in the European market. Its release is scheduled for 2027, a time when several Chinese manufacturers are preparing to introduce their city-assisted navigation systems.

The Denza Z9 GT will debut the God’s Eye system in Europe

The Denza Z9 GT will be BYD’s first model in Europe to feature God’s Eye CNOA, a driving assistance function designed for navigating urban streets and roads. This system will handle common driving situations such as intersections and lane changes, aiming to reduce the driver’s involvement. However, since it is a Level 2 system, the driver must remain alert and ready to take control.

BYD is thus preparing to compete in Europe with other manufacturers who also want to bring their advanced driving assistance systems to our roads. One of them is Xpeng, which plans to introduce its NGP technology to the European market in the first quarter of 2027, following recent tests conducted in Paris.

The choice of the Denza Z9 GT to debut this feature in Europe is not random. The model was already BYD’s first vehicle to bring its ultra-fast charging technology to the European market. Additionally, the manufacturer announced on October 12 that the BYD Atto 8 will also feature this charging solution.

In China, the Denza Z9 GT features the God’s Eye 5.0 assistance system, which operates alongside the Xuanji A3 processor made using 4 nanometer technology. This chip achieves a maximum computing capacity of around 700 trillion operations per second (TOPS) and processes data collected by various sensors, including lidar, millimeter-wave radars, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras.

So far, BYD has not specified when God’s Eye CNOA will be available in other models of its European lineup. However, its introduction in the Denza Z9 GT could mark the first step toward extending these functions to more of the brand’s vehicles, as a technological race that is expected to intensify in the coming years.
