The Xia was unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in August 2024.

In line with other new BYD models, the Xia has a digital-heavy dashboard design replete with a digital instruments display, a large free-standing central touchscreen, and a third screen for the co-driver. An interesting element is that the top of the dashboard falls in line with the base of the MPV’s windows with the displays integrated into a vertical shelf that flows into the lower dashboard. The air-con vents too are cleverly tucked away for a more cohesive look. The centre console also is free of clutter with a large charging pad under the central touchscreen and a row of physical buttons below it. Further back rests a pair of cup holders followed by the front centre armrest.
