Has anyone test driven the 6/7-Seater BYD eMax 7 (M6) Electric MPV yet? Looks super practical for familiesThere aren't many sensibly priced 3-row electric MPVs on the market, so I spent some time looking over the BYD eMax 7 (M6) 6-seater and 7-seater specifications:

1. Key Highlights & What Stood Out to Me
Families and fleet operators looking for a practical 3-row electric people-mover now have a dedicated option: the BYD eMax 7 (badged M6 in select RHD markets).
- Available with 55.4 kWh (420 km) and 71.8 kWh (530 km) Blade Battery options.
- Choice of 6-seater (2+2+2 ventilated captain's chairs) or 7-seater (2+3+2 family bench) configurations with V2L and panoramic glass roof.
2. Closer Look at the Specs & Hardware Packaging
Technical Parameter Official BYD Specification & Benchmark Structural Integration Cell-to-Body (CTB) Honeycomb Blade Battery Floor (40,500 Nm/deg) Power Electronics 800V / 1,000V High-Voltage Silicon-Carbide (SiC) Architecture ADAS Sensor Fusion DiPilot 100/300 Tri-Camera + 5x Millimeter-Wave Radars Thermal Management Direct-Refrigerant Heat Pump (-30°C to +45°C Operating Range) 3. 6-Seater Captain’s Chairs vs 7-Seater Bench — Which Layout Would You Pick?
For families with 2 or 3 kids, does the 6-seater layout with the walk-through middle aisle beat the traditional 7-seater bench?
