BYD is making waves in the Indian car market, showing strong sales and a growing global presence. The eMAX 7 follows the popular E6 all-electric MPV, which was well-received by fleet operators for its comfort and range.
Starting at ₹26.9 lakh ex-showroom, the eMAX 7 goes head-to-head with established MPVs like the Innova. Its design is traditional, with subtle EV features like no front grille and classy color choices like Quartz Blue and Crystal White.
Interior Design and Features
The eMAX 7 has a stylish and well-built cabin with few buttons on the dashboard. The highlight is the large 12.8-inch touchscreen display that can be rotated for easy access. It supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but relying on the touchscreen for essential functions might be tricky at times.
Comfort is a priority, with three rows of seating. The six-seat version has captain seats in the second row, giving plenty of room. Getting to the third row is easy, although those seats are better for shorter trips. A panoramic roof adds to the airy feel of the interior, which features soft-touch materials.
Performance and Range
The eMAX 7 is powered by a 71.8 kWh battery with BYD’s Blade Battery technology, producing 201 bhp and 31.61 kg-m of torque. It can go from 0-100 km/h in about 8.6 seconds, with driving modes like Eco, Normal, and Sport. Regenerative braking helps improve efficiency.
Thanks to its low center of gravity, the eMAX 7 is stable on winding roads, and its suspension is designed for comfort. It’s built to give a dependable driving experience, performing well in both city and highway conditions. The battery calibration provides promising range predictions, with a claimed 530 km potentially reachable in real-world situations.
Charging options include standard home charging and fast public charging, easing any worries about range. Overall, the BYD eMAX 7 offers a strong choice for those looking for space, comfort, and performance without giving up the perks of electric driving.
