Overview

[edit]

On 8 January 2025, BYD Xia was officially launched. The vehicle is equipped with the fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrid powertrain paired with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine. Its NEDC feed fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.3L, and the comprehensive cruising range on full gas and full electric is 1060 kilometer. Xia also standard with the 5R12V DiPilot 100 advanced driver assistance system with LiDAR and Nvidia Orin-X system-on-a-chip, which has up to 29 sensors in the entire vehicle, including highway and expressway piloting, intelligent parking assistance, emergency braking and many other driving assistance functions. Software functions will be gradually released in February 2025.[5]

The Xia will have options of eight, seven, six and four-seat layouts. It will be equipped with the DiSus-C damping body control system, and BYD's fifth-generation plug-in hybrid system marketed as DM-i 5.0.

BYD has confirmed plans to sell the Xia in European markets.[6]
