BYD India has confirmed the launch of the eMAX 7 on October 8. The Toyota Innova Hycross rival is a successor to the e6 MPV and will be the Chinese brand’s first three-row vehicle here. Notably, the e6 was its first vehicle in India and was introduced as a commercial vehicle. Unlike the e6, the BYD eMAX 7 will be made available to private buyers as well. Going by reports, it will boast extra features and an upgraded battery pack for extended range.
While the overall silhouette remains the same, new are the front fascia, alloy wheels and tail lights. The LED headlamps are placed over the DRLs and the bumper gets chrome touches and contoured air vents. Further, the chrome bridge between the lights has a satin finish and houses the ‘BYD’ lettering. We also spotted a new design for the alloy wheels that appeals to the eye. At the back, wraparound LEDs have been added.
BYD has refreshed the dashboard layout by adding a bigger 12.8-inch floating touchscreen, which is placed higher than the conventional in-built ones. The unit will also get wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Its central console has been upgraded with a tweaked multi-function steering wheel, switchgear, drive selector and two wireless chargers. For creature comfort, a 360-degree surround view camera, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, cruise control and powered tailgate will be offered. Even the boot space has gone up to 652 litres from 580 litres.
Showcased at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in July this year, the eMAX 7 will be available with two seating options – 6 and 7. The former seating type will feature captain seats in the second row and will be targeted at those who want to be chauffeur-driven. There will also be new seats finished in leatherette to up the luxury quotient of the cabin.
We expect the MPV to house ADAS or advanced driver assistance system features like blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and lane assist. Other safety features include 6 airbags, ABS with EBD and ESC.
In international markets, BYD offers a choice of two batteries - 55.4kWh and 71.8kWh. On a single charge, the smaller battery is good for a range of 420km whereas the bigger cell pack returns a range of 530km. Multiple reports state that the BYD will bring the larger 71.8kWh unit to India which will take the power output to 204bhp and torque to 310Nm. For reference, the outgoing e6 churns out 94bhp and 180Nm of torque and has a range of 500km.
