Denza B5: which version to buy
The Denza B5 is sold as one generation and one version. If the question is which Denza B5 to buy, the catalogue answer is 1.5 E-CVT: production of 1 generation started on 2023-09-01, the body is SUV 5-doors, and the only listed modification is 1.5 E-CVT. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, and no closed generation to trade against.
The Denza B5 is sold as one generation and one version. If the question is which Denza B5 to buy, the catalogue answer is 1.5 E-CVT: production of 1 generation started on 2023-09-01, the body is SUV 5-doors, and the only listed modification is 1.5 E-CVT. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, and no closed generation to trade against. The rest of this page is the arithmetic on that single row: what 570 hp, 775 Nm, 2897 kg, 4.8 s to 100, and an 83 L tank actually buy, and which numbers are not measured.
Which version to buy
1.5 E-CVT is the only buy. It is a Plug-in, 1500 displacement, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), Variable gearbox, AWD. System output is 570 hp (419 kW) and 775 Nm. Fuel is 95. 0–100 is 4.8 s. Top speed is 180. Kerb weight is 2897. Gross weight is 3430. Tank is 83.
There is no “base” versus “range” versus “sport” split in the data. You cannot pick a lighter 1.5 E-CVT, a two-wheel-drive 1.5 E-CVT, or a higher-speed 1.5 E-CVT. If a listing uses another name, it is not a version in this catalogue.
What the extra money cannot buy here is a second Denza B5 engine. What it does buy is the full 1.5 E-CVT package: 570 hp in a 2897 kg SUV 5-doors, AWD, Variable, Plug-in.
Specs: 1.5 E-CVT versus itself
With one version, comparison is density and payload, not a table of rivals inside the model.
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 E-CVT | 570 | 775 | 1500 | 95 | 4 | Inline | Turbo | Variable | AWD |
Power per litre on 1.5 E-CVT: 570 ÷ 1.5 = 380 hp per litre of the 1500 unit. That is the specific output of this Plug-in Turbo 4 Inline, not a second engine.
Weight per horsepower: 2897 ÷ 570 = 5.08 kg per hp (kerb). Invert it: 570 ÷ 2897 ≈ 0.197 hp per kg.
Torque versus displacement: 775 ÷ 1.5 = 516.7 Nm per litre. Torque versus power: 775 ÷ 570 ≈ 1.36 Nm per hp.
Payload: 3430 − 2897 = 533 kg. Gross is 533 ÷ 2897 ≈ 18.4% above kerb. If you need more than 533 kg of people and cargo on the plated total, this catalogue does not list a heavier-rated Denza B5.
kW check: 419 kW is the given electrical-equivalent figure next to 570 hp on the same 1.5 E-CVT row. Do not treat them as two trims.
Cylinders and layout are 4 and Inline. Boost is Turbo. Engine position is Front, transverse. Injection is Direct injection (direct). Valves per cylinder: 4. Bore × stroke: 76.5 x 81.4. Compression ratio: not measured. Power rpm: not measured. Torque rpm: not measured. Gear count on the Variable unit: not measured.
Engine: what 1.5 E-CVT is and is not
1.5 E-CVT is not a naturally aspirated 1500. It is Plug-in, Turbo, 4 Inline, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95. The 570 hp and 775 Nm sit on that 1500 figure; they are the system numbers in the data, not a second petrol-only row.
Bore 76.5 and stroke 81.4: stroke is 81.4 − 76.5 = 4.9 longer than bore (slightly undersquare on the given pair). That does not add a cylinder bank or a second displacement.
If you wanted a non-Plug-in Denza B5, a non-Turbo Denza B5, or a non-AWD Denza B5, this generation does not list them. Generation count is 1; modification count is 1.
Performance: 4.8 s and a 180 cap
0–100 for 1.5 E-CVT is 4.8. Top speed is 180. Those two numbers pull in opposite directions for a buyer: the sprint is in sports-SUV territory; the ceiling is 180, not an open autobahn figure. You are not choosing a “fast” 1.5 E-CVT versus a “limited” 1.5 E-CVT. Both numbers belong to the same version.
Kerb 2897 with 570 hp still yields 5.08 kg/hp and 4.8 s to 100. The 533 kg payload is available on the same car; adding mass toward 3430 raises kg/hp (3430 ÷ 570 ≈ 6.02 kg per hp at gross). The 0–100 figure in the data is not restated at gross weight.
MPG and tank: what is not measured
City consumption: not measured. Highway: not measured. Combined: not measured. CO2: not measured. Eco class: not measured.
Do not read those blanks as “this Plug-in has no fuel use.” They mean this catalogue has no L/100 km (or mpg) for 1.5 E-CVT.
What is measured is the tank: 83. Without a combined figure you cannot turn 83 into a petrol range. Electric range is also not measured. A buyer comparing Denza B5 to another Plug-in on mpg cannot do that arithmetic from this page.
Fuel grade is 95. That is the listed fuel, not a consumption number.
Dimensions and weight: clearance and wheels
Kerb: 2897. Gross: 3430. Payload: 533. Tank: 83.
Ground clearance: not measured. Wheel sizes: not measured. If ride height or tyre diameter is the reason you would pick one Denza B5 over another, the data do not split versions that way, and they do not give a millimetre figure at all.
Front suspension: Independent, spring. Rear: Independent, spring. No second chassis pack is listed.
Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: Disc ventilated. Same axle type on both ends; no “rear drum” alternative in the catalogue.
Generations: what 1 generation changed
There is only 1 generation (start 2023-09-01, stop not set). Body: SUV 5-doors. Versions in that generation: 1 — 1.5 E-CVT, also from 2023-09-01, stop not set.
There is no restyling row and no 2 generation. You cannot buy a pre-facelift versus post-facelift Denza B5 in this dataset. Year choice is not a spec choice: every 1.5 E-CVT in the table is the same 570 hp / 775 Nm / 1500 / Plug-in / Variable / AWD line.
What “generation changed” therefore cannot be answered as a delta versus an older Denza B5. The change versus a hypothetical empty slot is the appearance of this one SUV 5-doors with one Plug-in Turbo 4 Inline 1.5 E-CVT.
Reliability and problems
No reliability scores, failure rates, or problem lists are in the data. Treat reliability and problems as not measured. A “which version is more reliable” ranking cannot be built from one version and zero failure figures.
What you can inspect on paper: Independent, spring at both ends; Ventilated disc front; Disc ventilated rear; AWD; Variable; Plug-in 1500 Turbo 4 Inline. Those are hardware labels, not durability results.

If you need a Denza B5, you are choosing 1.5 E-CVT in 1 generation, SUV 5-doors, AWD Plug-in Variable, 570 hp and 775 Nm, 2897 kg kerb, 4.8 s to 100, 180 top speed, 83 L tank. You are not choosing between two Denza B5 engines. Any other badge on a listing is outside this catalogue’s version list.
