A Design Crafted for Modern Families and Effortless Mobility
The all-new eMAX 7 features the Dragon Face 3.0 front fascia, which visually resembles the BYD Han and Tang luxury models. This fascia makes the eMAX 7 stand out with its sleek, modern design, effortlessly blending style and functionality. Its dynamic grille and crystal floating LED headlights project a premium, bold look, enhanced by its aerodynamic contours and sculpted lines.
Its fluid shape ensures a refined, sophisticated appearance on the road. Complemented by 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels, the eMAX 7’s premium design exudes elegance and confidence, making it a statement vehicle not just by its appearance but also by its refined driving experience.
Spacious Comfort for the Modern Family
The BYD eMax 7 redefines family travel with a spacious, flexible cabin that seats up to seven passengers and offers ample cargo space. The Superior Captain variant enhances comfort with luxurious captain’s chairs in the second row. High-quality, soft-to-touch materials, leather seats, and a rotating 12.8-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto elevate every journey. A maximum cargo volume of 980 liters ensures versatility and convenience for any adventure.
Leading the Way in Smart Mobility and Safety
Safety remains a priority across both variants, with six airbags, a 360-degree view camera, a traction control system, electronic stability control, an anti-lock braking system, and a tire pressure monitoring system all standard. The Superior Captain variant further enhances safety with the DiPilot Advanced Driver Assistance System features, including Lane-Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking, which provide additional confidence on the road.
Uniting Sustainable Performance and Efficiency for Every Family Journey
The BYD eMax 7 combines performance and efficiency with its 8-in-1 electric powertrain, highlighted by a permanent magnet synchronous motor and the advanced BYD Blade Battery. Complementing the eMAX 7’s instantaneous power delivery are its multi-link rear suspension layout, which smoothens the MPV’s ride and comfort, and disc brakes at all four wheels, which maximize confidence in braking.
The Standard variant features a 55.4 kWh battery, producing 163 PS and 310 Nm of torque, while the Superior Captain trim comes with a 71.8 kWh battery, generating 204 PS and 310 Nm of torque. Designed for power and energy efficiency, it provides a range of 420 to 530 kilometers, respectively, while delivering a dynamic and responsive driving feel.
Charging is fast and convenient. The Standard variant supports maximum charging speeds of up to 6.6 kW (AC) and 89 kW (DC), while the Superior Captain model reaches up to 115 kW (DC). Both variants come with a 2.5 kW portable charger, a 7 kW AC wall charger, and a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) cable, which can power basic appliances at home or during outdoor adventures.
