BYD eMAX 7 Comfort launches in India with a 71.8 kWh battery and 485 km MIDC range
BYD India has expanded the eMAX 7 electric MPV lineup with a new Comfort variant. Positioned below the existing Superior trim, the new variant brings the larger 71.8 kWh battery pack at a more competitive price. The announcement also comes alongside a price revision for select BYD EV models in India.
Bigger Battery for the New Comfort Trim
The new eMAX 7 Comfort variant now uses a larger 71.8 kWh battery pack, the same unit found in the MPV's higher-spec variants. With this pack, BYD claims a MIDC-certified range of up to 485 km on a single charge.
Power comes from an electric motor that produces 161 bhp and 310 Nm of torque. The battery pack also supports DC fast charging at up to 115 kW, helping reduce charging time when needed.
Pricing and Seating Options
BYD is offering the new eMAX 7 Comfort variant in both six-seat and seven-seat configurations. The six-seat version carries a price tag of Rs 27.90 lakh (ex-showroom), while the seven-seat version is priced slightly higher at Rs 28.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
Features Inside the Cabin
Inside, the eMAX 7 comes with synthetic leather upholstery and a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster. A 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The MPV also includes power-adjustable ORVMs, LED lighting, keyless entry, automatic climate control, and dynamic rear turn indicators.
Safety Equipment and Underpinnings
On the safety side, BYD includes six airbags as standard equipment, along with TPMS, ABS, ESC, and traction control. A 360-degree camera system and an electronic parking brake with auto hold are also part of the package.
Underneath, the eMAX 7 uses a McPherson strut suspension at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear, paired with ventilated front disc brakes and alloy wheels. The MPV uses a front-wheel-drive layout and offers 170 mm of ground clearance.
Price Revisions Across the Range
Alongside the launch of the Comfort variant, BYD has also revised prices for select models sold in India. According to the company, these changes range between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh, depending on the model.
