Chinese electric car maker, BYD has made an official entry in the Indian passenger car space by launching an all electric MPV

BYD e6 happens to be an electric MPV which it has launched for the B2B market and has kept its pricing at INR 29.6 lakhs, ex-showroom. The e6 is powered by a 71.7 kWh Blade battery which can provide a WLTC (city) range of 520 km and a WLTC (combined) range of 415 km, per charge.

These numbers are truly astronomical when compared to the EVs which are currently on offer in India. The e6 dishes out power via a 70 kWh electric motor which can churn out 180 Nm and help the MPV to reach a top speed of 130 km/h.

New BYD Electric MPV supports both AC and DC fast charging. The DC fast charging charges up the battery from 30% to 80% in just 35 minutes. BYD claims that its Blade Battery is extremely reliable and safe. It has passed extreme test conditions like, nail penetration test, heating in a furnace to 300 degrees Celsius, overcharging by 260%, crushing, bending etc. The MPV also gets regenerative braking, and its systems allows it to start regenerating energy from as low as 2km/h.

The all New e6 happens to be a feature loaded product. It gets LED DRLs, LED tail lamps, leather seats, 6-way adjustable driver and front passenger seats, 10.1 inch rotatable touchscreen infotainment system, a CN95 Air filtration system, rear-view camera, speed sensing auto locking and much more.

BYD Electric MPV – Pricing and Warranty

The All-New e6 will be available in select cities including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Kochi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Vijayawada. The Ex-showroom price with the 7kW charger stands at INR 29.6 L and without the charger, the MPV can be purchased at INR 29.15L. As of now, BYD India is working upon strengthening its dealer network in these cities.

BYD is also offering a vehicle warranty of 3 years/1.25L kms (whichever is earlier), battery cell warranty of 8 years.5L kms (whichever is earlier) and a traction motor warranty of 8 years/1.5L kms (whichever is earlier).

As of now, there is no direct rival to the BYD e6 in the Indian market. There is no all electric MPV which is currently on sale. In the B2B electric market, it is majorly Tata Motors which dominates with its range of electric vehicles. The lack of any similar sized MPV in Tata’s stable, removes possibility of a potential launch of any EV version of its existing model in the foreseeable future.
