The eMax 7’s exterior has slightly modified headlights and taillights, as well as completely new bumpers with chrome details added to each end. Additionally, new 17-inch alloy wheels with 225/55 R17 tires are available. The available colours are Quartz Blue, Crystal White, Harbour Grey and Cosmos Black.
The biggest internal upgrade is a bigger 12.8-inch floating touchscreen, up from the e6’s 10.1-inch screen. The eMax 7 has soft-touch materials all over, especially on the dashboard panels. The centre console has been somewhat modified, with two wireless charging pads, some new switchgear and a new drive selector lever.
