BYD is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated BYD eMax 7 in India on October 8, 2024. The eMax 7, a facelifted version of the earlier BYD e6, was previously available for both commercial and private buyers. Pre-bookings for this 7-seater electric MPV started on September 21, 2024, and customers who book by October 8, 2024 will receive a complimentary 7 kW or 3 kW charger worth ₹ 51,000. This special offer applies to customers who take delivery by March 2025.
BYD eMax 7 Battery and Performance Options
Globally, the BYD eMax 7 is offered with two battery pack options. The 55.4 kWh variant provides a range of up to 420 km on a single charge, while the larger 71.8 kWh variant can deliver an impressive 530 km range. In India, BYD previously offered the e6 with the 71.8 kWh battery, and it is expected that the eMax 7 will follow suit. However, there is speculation that the smaller battery pack may be introduced as a more affordable option.
The dual-motor setup on the 71.8 kWh variant generates 204 hp and 310 Nm of peak torque, offering a powerful yet smooth driving experience for this electric MPV.

One of the standout features of the BYD eMax 7 is the addition of a third row of seats, making it a versatile 7-seater car. Depending on the variant, buyers may have the option of either captain seats or bench seats in the rear. The cabin will also offer a luxurious experience with a large panoramic sunroof and a bigger touchscreen infotainment system.
