BYD has launched eMax 7 electric MPV in India. The new model is available in two variants – Premium and Superior, with prices starting at Rs 26.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

The 3-row electric MPV is available in 6-seater and 7-seater configurations. While the interior looks similar to the outgoing e6, the eMax 7 does get a larger 12.8-inch central touchscreen, a 3-spoke steering wheel, two wireless charging pads, 6 airbags, and a 360-degree camera. The Superior variant gets Level 2 ADAS, a fixed panoramic glass roof, powered and ventilated front seats, frameless wipers, and roof rails.

BYD offers a 161 BHP electric motor on the Premium variant, which enables the MPV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 10.1 seconds, while the Superior trim packs a 201 BHP e-motor and has a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 8.6 seconds. The top speed of both variants is 180 km/h.

The eMax 7 comes with a 7 kW AC charger. It also supports fast charging up to 89 kW (Premium) and 115 kW (Superior). The MPV also has vehicle-to-load charging capability.
