New Denza B5 PHEV has family appeal
Denza’s versatile plug-in hybrid 4x4 can manage the weekday school run, tow the caravan on weekends, and tackle off-road adventures.
With room for a double pram plus your weekly shop, the Denza B5’s tall boot can be stacked high for family holidays.
A flat boot floor suits emergency nappy changes and provides comfortable footing for the family dog.
Hooks on either side of the luggage bay can secure school and shopping bags, and there’s a 12-volt socket to run the portable fridge.
Three child seats fit easily across the second row, whether forward- or rear-facing.
There’s plenty of head and leg room and a flat footwell makes access easy.
A 184cm tall driver can still fit comfortably in front of a rear-facing child seat, stretching to 186cm-plus if using forward-facing seats.
Air vents above the rear doors and behind the centre console help keep rear-seat passengers comfortable, with lights above the rear doors to help with nighttime manoeuvres and grab handles to aid getting in and out, or for hanging infant toys.
Rear sockets allow tech-savvy teens to charge their devices, while ventilated rear outer seats help keep the crew comfort able and calm.
A handy temperature-controlled centre console compartment with rear-seat ac cess drawer cools or heats items from -6°C to 50°C, ensuring you can arrive at the family picnic with cold drinks or warm pies (but not both at the same time).
The B5’s 11 airbags include side curtains extending to second-row passengers.
Individual rear child locks are conveniently located on the driver’s door and within the media screen.
A five-star ANCAP rating includes a market-leading 95% child occupant protection score.
Height adjustable suspension can be raised for more ground clearance or lowered for easier loading, enabling access to garages and carparks with low-ceiling heights.
An in-built modem allows access to YouTube and an in-car karaoke system will keep everyone entertained.
You can also use the 90km of battery range to help get the baby off to sleep with a late-night emissions-free drive around the block.
The B5 is a large SUV but it’s easy enough to get comfortable with its proportions thanks to front and rear parking sensors, a high seating position with good all-round visibility, and a 360-degree camera system.
There’s also dedicated cameras for lane-changing and a digital rear-view mirror that provides clear visibility even when the boot is fully loaded.
