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-seat version and 204hp for the 7-seat version, though both offer the same torque output of 310Nm.
