New Delhi: BYD India, a subsidiary of the global leader in New Energy Vehicles (NEV), BYD, has launched India’s first electric MPV with 6- and 7-seater options—the BYD eMax 7. Starting at an ex-showroom price of INR 26,90,000, the eMax 7 offers a blend of innovation, sustainability, and comfort for eco-conscious families seeking modern mobility solutions.
The BYD eMax 7 is available in two variants: Superior and Premium. The Superior variant features a 71.8 kWh battery pack, delivering an impressive range of 530 km (NEDC tested), while the Premium variant comes with a 55.4 kWh battery, offering a range of 420 km. Acceleration is swift, with the Superior variant reaching 0-100 km/h in 8.6 seconds and the Premium variant achieving the same in 10.1 seconds.
Advanced Technology and Safety
The eMax 7 is built on BYD’s state-of-the-art e-platform 3.0, featuring an 8-in-1 electric powertrain system. This platform integrates eight essential components—including the motor, controller, and Battery Management System (BMS)—into one compact system for enhanced efficiency and space optimization.
In terms of safety, the vehicle comes equipped with six airbags, ABS, EPF, EBD, and an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), ensuring a secure ride for families. The use of BYD’s innovative Blade Battery technology, known for its heat efficiency and safety, further enhances protection in case of a collision.
Luxury Meets Functionality
Designed to combine style and utility, the BYD eMax 7 showcases sleek aerodynamic lines, a commanding dragon-face front fascia, and Crystal Diamond Floating LED headlights. It stands on 17-inch alloy wheels, giving it a bold road presence.
Inside, the cabin features a modern, luxurious black-and-brown two-tone interior, emphasizing space and comfort. With a 12.8-inch rotatable infotainment display, a 5-inch advanced instrument cluster, and a wireless phone charger, the cabin offers a futuristic driving experience. Additional features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and up to 580 liters of boot space enhance comfort and convenience for every passenger.
Eco-Friendly Performance
The BYD eMax 7 incorporates cutting-edge technologies like Vehicle-to-Load (VTOL) and regenerative braking. VTOL allows the vehicle to power external electric devices, making it ideal for outdoor activities like camping. This functionality, combined with the car’s long range and versatile seating options, positions the eMax 7 as a leader in sustainable family transport.
