BYD eMAX 7 electric MPV to be launched in India on October 8

BYD is all set to launch the all-electric eMAX 7 MPV in the Indian market on October 8. The eMAX 7 is essentially a new variant of the e6 MPV, which was BYD’s first offering in India and has been on sale here for almost three years. With the facelift, the MPV will get a refreshed design and several new features.

Visually, the eMAX 7 MPV will retain the same basic profile and proportions as the current e6 but will get noticeable changes to the face and rear, giving the old e6 a new lease of life. While the headlamp shape of the eMAX 7 is similar to the e6, the interiors have been revised and now feature new light elements. Other changes to the front include a new bumper, a redesigned air dam and a chrome-finished grille. At the rear, the eMAX 7 gets new tail lamps connected by a thin light bar and a new rear bumper.

The eMAX 7 is expected to get a large touchscreen and a panoramic sunroof

Talking about the cabin, the eMAX 7 is expected to retain the same design as the BYD e6. However, it is expected to get some new features, such as a larger touchscreen and a panoramic sunroof similar to the BYD M6, which is called the eMAX 7 in some markets. Also, the eMAX 7 will have three-row seating compared to the e6, and is expected to be offered in both 6-seat and 7-seat variants.

Expected to be equipped with the same 71.8 kWh battery pack

Like the e6, the eMAX 7 is likely to be offered with a 71.8 kWh battery pack that offers a range of up to 520 km in the current model. However, BYD has said that the new eMAX 7 will offer better performance than its previous model. The M6 ​​produces 201 bhp and 310 Nm of peak torque, similar to the Atto 3, which could be offered in the India-spec eMAX 7.
