I Towed 3.5 Tonnes From Brisbane to Melbourne... In a Denza B8
Description: We just towed 3.5 tonnes for 1,717km from Brisbane to Melbourne in the Denza B8, and the results genuinely surprised us. In this towing test we run the numbers on fuel economy, battery behaviour, hill climbing power and more, going head to head with a Nissan Navara, a BYD Shark and a Ford F350 convoy the whole way.
Watch the Denza B8 tow a heavily modified GWM Tank 300 on 37s the entire trip, hold its battery state of charge between 46-54% on the steepest climbs, and overtake everything in the convoy without breaking a sweat. We break down the real fuel economy (27L/100km on petrol vs the diesel equivalent cost), put the new integrated trailer brake controller through its paces, and see how the self-levelling hydraulic suspension handles a fully loaded 3.5 tonne trailer at highway speed.
If you're weighing up a PHEV for serious towing in Australia, this is the real-world data.
