Variants and Feature Levels
The eMax 7 comes in two variants: Premium and Superior, each offered with 6 or 7 seats. The Premium covers the essentials well, including the big rotating touchscreen, 6 airbags and auto climate control. Meanwhile, the Superior adds premium comfort features and a full ADAS suite.
BYD eMax 7 Exterior Features
The eMax 7 gets LED headlamps and a full-width LED tail light bar with dynamic rear turn signals. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels and gets electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs. In addition, the Superior adds a panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade, roof rails and frameless front wipers.
Interior and Comfort Features
Inside, the eMax 7 offers synthetic leather seats in a 2+3+2 (7-seater) or 2+2+2 (6-seater) layout. The 6-seater gets individual captain seats in the middle row, while the 7-seater gets a 60:40 split bench. Every version gets automatic climate control, roof-mounted AC vents and a PM2.5 air filter. Moreover, the Superior adds a 6-way powered driver seat, a 4-way powered passenger seat and ventilation for both front seats.
BYD eMax 7 Infotainment Features
A 12.8-inch touchscreen sits at the centre and can rotate between portrait and landscape modes. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with built-in navigation and a voice assistant. A 5-inch digital driver display shows key information, while a 6-speaker audio system handles music. In addition, USB Type-A and Type-C ports are available in the front and middle rows.
Convenience Features
Daily use is easy, thanks to keyless entry and start, an NFC card key and one-touch power windows with anti-pinch. Moreover, V2L lets you power appliances like a laptop or kettle from the car’s battery. The Superior also adds a powered tailgate and a wireless phone charger. Other features include cruise control, auto-dimming high beams and follow-me-home headlamps.
BYD eMax 7 Safety and ADAS Features
Every eMax 7 gets 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, traction control and TPMS. It also gets an electronic parking brake with auto hold, hill hold and ISOFIX mounts. The Superior adds Level 2 ADAS, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure assist, blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert. A 360-degree camera also helps when parking this large MPV.
Before You Buy the eMax 7
Keep a few points in mind. First, the Premium misses the panoramic roof, ventilated seats and ADAS. Second, the driver display is just 5 inches, which is small for a car at this level. Third, the boot holds only 180 litres with all three rows up. To compare with rival electric MPVs, see the Kia Carens Clavis EV and VinFast MPV 7.
