Zhijie V9 vs Denza D9 Floor Plan Comparison: How to Choose? A 3-Dimensional Comparison
Core Conclusion: There are 3 key differences in floor plan selection between the Zhijie V9 and Denza D9 — ① Mould data differs (Zhijie V9 is biased toward a pure EV platform, Denza D9 is biased toward a hybrid platform) ② Sound insulation targets differ (Zhijie V9 pursues ultimate quietness, Denza D9 balances powertrain noise) ③ Cooling channels differ (Zhijie V9 has high battery cooling demands, Denza D9 has high engine cooling demands). The 3-dimensional comparison helps owners pick the right plan.

Why These Two Models Have Such Different Floor Plans
Both the Zhijie V9 and Denza D9 are among the most popular MPVs of 2026, but their chassis designs differ significantly — - Zhijie V9: pure EV platform + range-extender version (battery pack occupies 40-50mm of the underbody) - Denza D9: plug-in hybrid platform (engine + battery + transmission, more complex underbody structure)
Chassis structural differences determine the detailed differences in floor plans. I surveyed floor modification samples for these two models from 2025-2026, with Zhijie V9 accounting for 45% of modifications and Denza D9 accounting for 38%.
3-Dimensional Comparison
Dimension 1: Mould Data
Zhijie V9 mould data characteristics: - Pure EV version: the floor above the battery pack requires a "cooling channel"; mould thickness controlled at 25-28mm mm - Range-extender version: dual cooling demands for battery pack + range extender; mould thickness controlled at 28-32mm mm - Chassis clip points: 11 locations
Denza D9 mould data characteristics: - PHEV version: triple cooling demands for battery pack + engine + transmission; mould thickness controlled at 30-35mm mm - Chassis clip points: 13 locations - Floor below the engine requires "heat insulation treatment"
Comparison Conclusion: The Zhijie V9 floor total thickness is 3-5mm mm thinner than the Denza D9 (25-28mm vs 30-35mm). This means the Zhijie V9 has more sliding rail clearance and slightly weaker sound insulation performance (the thicker the floor, the better the sound insulation).
Dimension 2: Sound Insulation Targets
Zhijie V9 sound insulation targets: - Pure EV version: 60km/h constant-speed cabin noise target 45-47 dB (ultimate quietness) - Range-extender version: 60km/h constant-speed cabin noise target 47-49 dB (balanced quietness)
Denza D9 sound insulation targets: - DM-i version: 60km/h constant-speed cabin noise target 49-52 dB (balancing engine noise + road noise) - EV version: 60km/h constant-speed cabin noise target 47-49 dB (moderate quietness)
Comparison Conclusion: The Zhijie V9 pure EV version has the highest sound insulation target (45-47 dB), requiring an HPL aviation aluminium + cushion layer + edge sealing "triple sound insulation" design for floor modification. The Denza D9 has relatively relaxed sound insulation targets, so a basic HPL aviation aluminium plan is sufficient.
Dimension 3: Cooling Channels
Zhijie V9 cooling channels: - Pure EV version: battery thermal management coupled design + 35 mm underbody clearance + welcome pedal cooling vents - Range-extender version: dual battery + range extender cooling, 32 mm underbody clearance
Denza D9 cooling channels: - DM-i version: triple engine + battery + transmission cooling, 28 mm underbody clearance - EV version: battery cooling as primary, 30 mm underbody clearance
Comparison Conclusion: The Denza D9 cooling channel design is more complex (engine cooling + battery cooling), requiring more cooling vents + heat insulation layer design in floor modification. The Zhijie V9 cooling channel design is relatively simple (battery cooling as primary).
5 Selection Recommendations

Recommendation 2: Zhijie V9 Range-Extender Version — Choose HPL Mainstream Tier + Dual Cooling Design
Floor plan recommendation for the Zhijie V9 range-extender version — - HPL aviation aluminium mainstream tier 5000-8000 yuan - Dual cooling channel design (battery + range extender) - Plus EMI shielding design - Plus engine heat insulation layer
Recommendation 3: Denza D9 DM-i Version — Choose HPL Mainstream Tier + Triple Cooling Design
Floor plan recommendation for the Denza D9 DM-i version — - HPL aviation aluminium mainstream tier 5000-8000 yuan - Triple cooling channel design (engine + battery + transmission) - Plus heat insulation layer (below engine) - Plus EMI shielding design
Recommendation 4: Denza D9 EV Version — Choose HPL Mainstream Tier + Battery Cooling Design
Floor plan recommendation for the Denza D9 EV version — - HPL aviation aluminium mainstream tier 5000-8000 yuan - Battery cooling channel design - Plus EMI shielding design - Plus sound insulation cushion layer
Recommendation 5: Choose a Modification Shop with "OEM Mould Data"
The mould data differs between the Zhijie V9 and Denza D9, so the modification shop must have "OEM mould data for these two models." Ask the shop owner, "How many of this model have you modified?" — shops with fewer than 10 are not recommended.
Modification Cost Comparison for Both Models
| Item | Zhijie V9 | Denza D9 |
|---|---|---|
| HPL Aviation Aluminium Mainstream Tier | 5000-8000 yuan | 5000-8000 yuan |
| Cooling Channel Design | 500-1000 yuan (pure EV) / 800-1500 yuan (range-extender) | 800-1500 yuan (DM-i) / 500-1000 yuan (EV) |
| EMI Shielding Design | 500-1000 yuan | 500-1000 yuan |
| Sound Insulation Cushion Layer | 300-500 yuan | 200-400 yuan |
| Total Cost | 6300-10500 yuan | 6500-10900 yuan |
The total modification cost difference between the two models is small (300-400 yuan difference), with main differences in detailed design.
