Dongfeng Motor Company Z-Shaped Body Strong Style

Dongfeng motor company is redefining pickup design with a Z-shaped body that turns bold style into measurable performance on the new Z9.

Z-Shaped Body, Bold Design - Engineered by Dongfeng Motor Company

As a manufacturing provider, we look first at function. The Z9's "Z-shaped body" is not a styling flourish; it is an airflow strategy. Five low-drag exterior decisions combine with seven drag-reduction kits to reshape how air moves around the truck. Every panel is guided by aerodynamics to deliver industry-leading overall drag, which supports better efficiency and quieter cruising.

The stance is assertive and premium, with surfaces that read like an ironclad knight. Yet it remains practical. The signature "Z" lines integrate with the front and rear lighting to improve recognition on busy roads and trails. The result is a Z-shaped body aerodynamic pickup that looks tough, saves energy, and communicates intent to other drivers.

✅  Aerodynamics Meets Signature "Z" Lighting

High-visibility "Z" lamps front and rear signal a high-end taste while protecting people. Day or night, the light signature is instantly seen and acts as a warning when illuminated, increasing driving safety. Paint technology elevates durability and total cost of ownership: nature-inspired colors - Sunset Orange, Starry Gray, Desert Gold, Jade Black, Jasmine White - use higher-grade, more eco-friendly coatings that resist UV, heat, and fading. Fleets and small businesses benefit from a finish that stays new for longer and lowers maintenance spend.

Interior Utility and Safety Tech Built for Real Work

The Z9 is shaped for air, but built for people. Dimensions of 5520x1960x1950 mm create a commanding footprint. Crews gain a panoramic view through the 0.87 m² openable sunroof (best in class for pickups), while cargo and passengers coexist thanks to a 970 L flat rear-floor space - an industry first. Rear "sofa" seats offer three-step adjustable backrests, and the rear doors open a full 90° for easier loading, child seats, or gear.

For farm, forestry, fisheries, engineering, construction, small business, and outdoor communities - from overland travel and camping to RV towing - the Z9 answers daily pain points: access, room, and safety you can trust.

•  97% high-strength steel frame with a five-star crash design for structural peace of mind

•  Widest, farthest, brightest headlamps with an ultra-low-beam mode for complex worksites

•  540° panoramic imaging to see obstacles above, below, and around the vehicle

•  EPB + AUTOHOLD standard across the lineup for easier hill starts and stop-and-go tasks

•  12.8-inch central display with multi-screen linkage for clearer workflows and device mirroring

•  Durability validated to 2 million km (professional proving-ground structural tests)

•  Rear door 90° opening and flat rear floor (970 L) for boxy equipment and clean installs

•  Panoramic sunroof 0.87 m² to reduce cabin fatigue during long shifts

These are not show-pieces. They are systems that cut time, reduce rework, and improve safety. For operators who live in their truck, the Z9 makes hours feel shorter and jobs more precise.

✅  Space that Works as Hard as You do

From weekday job sites to weekend trails, flexibility matters. The Z9 turns from cargo mover to family shuttle in minutes. Seats fold and recline, the floor stays flat, and the door geometry invites bulky gear. That means fewer trips, faster turnarounds, and better morale for crews.

Power, Capability, and Control That Grow Your Business

Performance is about confidence. The Z9 offers diesel and gasoline choices so buyers can match duty cycles and local fuel realities. The diesel delivers 500 N·m and 140 kW for unstoppable pull. The gasoline version provides 400 N·m and 190 kW for quick response. Even fully loaded, the Z9 sprints 0-40 km/h in 3.4 s, beating a key rival by 0.6 s. For last-mile climbs, job-site ramps, or merging with traffic, that margin matters.

Off-road hardware is equally focused. An Eaton differential lock, tank turn, and crawl mode help place the vehicle precisely on loose or narrow terrain. With 100% gradeability, >800 mm wading, Top-3-in-class suspension travel, and 240 mm of ground clearance, the Z9 goes where cargo and customers need to be. Towing capacity exceeds 3.5 tons, making it the ideal off-road pickup with 3.5-ton towing for trailers, implements, or caravans.
