Although the tax-free incentives for CBU EVs have been rescinded in 2026, Denza Malaysia has announced that pricing for its D9 electric MPV will remain the same.

However, that figure will only be applicable for the units already imported in 2025 and are merely in storage. Under the new taxation structure, EVs imported before Dec 28 2025 will still be exempted from import and excise duties even if they are sold in 2026.

While the company did not state the number of units it has in stock for the sold model it currently sells, it would be safe to assume that the number is a healthy one.

Until stocks run out, the single-motor D9 will be sold for RM 259,000 while the dual-motor all-wheel drive version will go for RM 309,000. Those prices are not final on-the-road numbers and customers will still have to fork out a little more due to the reintroduction of road tax for EVs.

Denza has not stated if 2026 units of the D9 will be imported but that would likely happen with a higher price once the existing 2025 stock begins to deplete. Denza has self-proclaimed its D9 as Malaysia’s best-selling luxury MPV, having delivered over 1,200 units since it was launched here in Feb 2025.

The new tax structure for CBU EVs begins at a 30% import duty, 10% excise duty and 10% sales tax but markets with existing free-trade-agreements in place such as China, where the D9 hails from, will only be charged 5% for the import duty.
