India (Commonwealth) _ A few years ago, BYD India introduced the BYD E6, an electric multipurpose vehicle. Regarding the car, the corporation received a significant number of client comments. Combining all of that, BYD India has just unveiled the highly anticipated BYD eMAX 7, a brand-new electric multipurpose vehicle.
There are two versions of the BYD eMAX 7, called Superior and Premium. A 55.4kWh Blade Battery Pack powers the Premium version, giving it a 420km range. With a 120kW power output rating, a top speed of 180 kmph is possible.
The Superior model has a 530 km range thanks to a larger 71.8 kWh battery pack. The rated power output is 150 kW. The BYD eMAX 7 is available in six and seven-seater versions, boasting high-end amenities such as an automated trunk opening and closing system, wireless phone charging, climate control, electric seats, and a revolving 12.8-inch multimedia system.
BYD India introduced the all-electric MPV, the eMax 7, at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 26.90 lakh. It comes in two models with two different battery pack configurations. The brand’s new eMax 7, which takes the place of the e6 in the lineup, has numerous outward and interior design updates along with additional capabilities.
The BYD eMax 7 is available with 71.8Wh and 55.4kWh battery pack units in the Superior and Premium versions, respectively. The eMax 7 can be powered for up to 420 kilometers on a single charge with the latter battery pack, while the former is rated to give a driving range of 530 kilometers. The Superior version can also run from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just 8.6 seconds. In contrast, it takes the Premium version 10.1 seconds to reach the same pace.
