What owners and experts like about the BYD eMAX 7
Air conditioning
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“that was the big qual about the E6 that there was only one AC in the center now you have AC vents in the roof pillars and that means better Cooling and better efficiency”
Boot space
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“with a 180 L of boot space you can easily fit in two to three backpacks and a couple of Handbags and if you fold the third row seating well then you have a crazy amount of space that you can use for yourself”
Ride comfort
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
