BYD plans to debut the new eMAX 7 MPV in India today. The eMAX 7 is essentially a facelifted e6 MPV, with BYD renaming the model for the Indian market, giving it a design refresh, adding more features, and now including a third row of seats. Bookings for the eMAX 7 are currently open, with BYD providing early customers with a variety of incentives, including complimentary wall chargers.
BYD eMAX 7: Interior
The most significant change to the cabin will be the inclusion of a third row of seats. Unlike the e6, which only has five seats, the eMAX 7 will seat up to seven people, with the second row including either a bench or captain seats depending on the configuration. On the feature front, the eMAX 7 will carry over much of the gear from the e6, with some major additions. These will include a panoramic sunroof and a larger central touchscreen, among other features.
BYD eMAX 7: Design
On the design aspect, the eMAX 7 adheres to the family design motif of recent BYD models. The new thin headlamps, enclosed grille, and sporty bumper give it a more aggressive appearance up front, while a redesigned tail lamp design and new bumper round out the modifications in back.
The new amenities and third row of seats should increase the eMAX 7’s appeal to private purchasers. The e6 had originally come in India to serve to commercial fleet operators, but it was later made available to individual buyers as well.
BYD eMAX 7: Specs
Powertrain specs have yet to be released, while BYD has stated that the MPV will outperform its predecessor. The previous e6 had a 71.7 kWh battery pack and an electric motor producing 94 horsepower and 180 Newton-meters. The eMAX7 7 could, however, contain an updated powertrain similar to the BYD M6, which is the designation given to the facelifted e6 in several worldwide markets. The M6’s upgraded powertrain increases power and torque to an Atto 3-rivalling 201 bhp and 310 Nm, potentially making the eMAX 7 far more powerful on the road.
