2026 DENZA B8 6-Seater vs 7-Seater: The Ultimate Interior Comparison Guide
Emerging from a commitment to redefine executive mobility, DENZA is redefining electrified vehicles. Combining plug-in hybrid technology with world-class craftsmanship, the 2026 DENZA B8 has arrived as a new benchmark in luxury performance.
Underpinned by commercial-grade body-on-frame architecture, the 2026 DENZA B8 pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with twin high-output electric motors, sending power to all four wheels.
While this plug-in hybrid vehicle yields an extraordinary 425 kW and 760 Nm of torque, launching from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.8 seconds, our acoustic glass and electric motors deliver the serene quiet of a modern luxury car alongside the B8’s supercar-rivalling acceleration.
This combination of raw power, refined efficiency, and all-terrain capability allows the 2026 DENZA B8 to present a strong challenge to models from traditional premium brands like the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series and Land Rover Defender. With comfort-focussed design and off-road capabilities, the 2026 DENZA B8 transitions effortlessly from suburban Indooroopilly streets to outback expeditions across regional Queensland.

The DENZA B8 7-Seater features a traditional three-passenger bench across the middle row, ideal for larger families requiring a true seven-seat layout to carry maximum passengers on demand.

Regardless of their seating position, passengers across all three rows of your 2026 DENZA B8 will experience the quiet luxury and space that our DENZA vehicles deliver.
- Configuration: The 2026 DENZA B8 features three rows with stadium-style elevation, ensuring that third-row passengers enjoy an extraordinary level of clear forward visibility inside such a heavy vehicle.

- Drive Modes: The DENZA B8 comes with 16 selectable Daily and Terrain Drive Modes. Leopard Turn functionality enhances the B8 by brake-vectoring the inner rear wheel to dramatically reduce your turning circle on tight off-road tracks.
