2026 BYD eMax 7 variants

Aside from the new variant name and higher prices, BYD hasn’t made any mechanical or design changes to the eMax 7. This means the Comfort variants continue to get a 71.8kWh battery pack and a single electric motor that drives the front wheels. The setup results in 163hp for the base 6-seater version and 204hp for the 7-seater version, though both offer the same torque output of 310Nm. 

BYD price hike in July 2026

The price hike is only applicable to select variants within the brand’s line-up

Similar to other automaker who have hiked prices in the recent months, BYD India also cited rising input costs and inflationary pressures as some of the main reasons. The Chinese brand also mentioned continued investments in network expansion as another reason behind the July 2026 price hike. While all four models across BYD’s India portfolio have been affected by this revision, this only applies to select variants within the line-up.

The Atto 3’s mid-spec Premium and top-spec Superior variants have had their prices hiked by Rs 50,000. All variants of the BYD Seal sedan are now pricier by Rs 50,000. The entry-level Premium variant of the BYD Sealion 7 SUV is now costlier by Rs 50,000, while the price of its top-spec Performance variant has been hiked by Rs 1 lakh.
