BYD eMAX 7 Electric MPV Launched at Rs 26.90 Lakh

BYD India has officially launched the eMAX 7 at an introductory starting price of Rs 26.90 lakh, its first three-row electric MPV to the Indian market. For the unversed, the eMAX 7 is a facelifted version of the popular BYD e6 (now discontinued), which was on sale in India for nearly three years. The new model comes with a host of upgrades, including a refreshed design, added features and enhanced performance. Positioned as a rival to the ICE Toyota Innova, the eMAX 7 is available for private buyers, unlike the e6 which was initially launched as a commercial vehicle.

BYD eMAX 7 - Exterior & Interior Highlights

The eMAX 7 retains the same profile as the outgoing e6 but features several styling tweaks to give it a modernised appearance. These updates include sleeker headlamps, a slimmer enclosed grille, revised bumpers and wraparound LED tail lights. It also sports new alloy wheels that add to its visual appeal. At the front, the chrome accents, contoured air vents and the satin-finished chrome bridge with BYD lettering give it a fresh face.

Inside, BYD has introduced a bigger 12.8-inch floating touchscreen (rotatable), positioned higher for easier access and equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other interior updates include a revamped central console with a multi-function steering wheel, switchgear, drive selector, and two wireless chargers. Notably, the panoramic sunroof adds a sense of spaciousness and luxury to the cabin. Ventilated front seats, a 360-degree surround-view camera and a powered tailgate round off the comfort features.

BYD eMAX 7 - Three-Row Seating Options

The eMAX 7 introduces a three-row seating layout, available in both 6-seater and 7-seater configurations. The 6-seater variant features captain seats in the second row, catering to those seeking a more luxurious and chauffeur-driven experience. Leatherette upholstery adds to the overall premium feel, while the 652-litre boot space ensures ample storage for long journeys.

BYD eMAX 7 - Enhanced Safety and Performance

BYD has equipped the eMAX 7 with advanced safety features, including ADAS - blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and lane departure assist. Other standard safety features include 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, and ESC (Electronic Stability Control).

It comes with two battery packs - 55.4kWh and 71.8kWh. On a single charge, the smaller battery is good for a range of 420km whereas the bigger cell pack returns a range of 530km. The larger battery pack offers a range of up to 530km and outputs 204bhp with 310Nm of torque. In comparison, the outgoing e6 delivered 94bhp and 180Nm of torque with a range of 500km.
