BYD has launched its new electric MPV, eMax 7, in the Indian market. This vehicle is ready to create a stir in the electric segment with its premium design, advanced features and long range. This is not only a new technological offering but is also special for those customers who want the right balance of luxury and performance in electric vehicles.
Great range and performance
The BYD eMax 7 has a claimed maximum range of 521 km. However, in normal use it can comfortably cover a distance of about 400 km. This range makes it suitable for long distance journeys also.
For charging, it has been provided with a standard charger, due to which it gets fully charged in 7-8 hours. This electric MPV is available at an on-road price of ₹32.5 lakh, which may vary slightly from state to state.
Premium look and design
Front Profile:
The front design of BYD eMax 7 is quite attractive and modern. The LED DRL and 5-lamp LED headlight setup gives it a premium look. Along with this, it has Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), which makes the driving experience safe and comfortable.
Side Profile:
From the side the design of the car looks quite balanced. Ground clearance is around 170-175 mm, which may feel a little low for a vehicle of this size. Diamond cut alloy wheels give it a premium finish, and body-coloured ORVMs further enhance its looks.
Rear Profile:
Talking about the rear of the car, the connected taillights and shark-fin antenna give it a unique appeal. Boot space is around 200 litres, which is ample in the MPV segment.
Space and premium interior
The interior of the car feels very airy and open. It comes in a 6-seater layout, with captain seats in the second row. The cabin space is quite spacious and comfortable, giving passengers a comfortable experience even on long distance journeys.
Key Features:
- Flat-bottom steering wheel.
- Large and premium 15-inch infotainment system.
- Electronic seat adjustment.
- Panoramic sunroof.
- Separate AC vents and controls for the second row.
These features provided to the driver and passengers provide a premium experience to the vehicle.
What did you feel was missing?
Although the BYD eMax 7 has many premium features, there is room for improvement in a few areas:
- Ground clearance could have been a little better, so that it could move smoothly even on bad roads.
- Having manual IRVM (inside rear view mirror) at a price of ₹32 lakh is a bit disappointing. This feature should have been automatic.
- Some parts experience a light Chinese touch, which could have been better in a vehicle of this price range.
Why buy?
BYD eMax 7 is perfect for customers looking for a premium electric MPV. Its long range, premium design and advanced features make it special.
Although it has some minor shortcomings, these shortcomings pale in comparison to its excellent features. This car is suitable for those who want the perfect combination of luxury and performance in electric vehicles. There are some minor shortcomings, but overall this car is an attractive option in this price range.
