The updated model features BYD's latest core technologies—including the DiPilot 300 "God's Eye B" intelligent driving suite and the DiSus-C intelligent suspension system—and delivers a longer all-electric range.

The 2026 Xia's CLTC pure-electric range has increased from 180 km to 218 km, while its total driving range reaches 1,163 km. The model retains a 1.5 T plug-in hybrid system that combines a 115-kW engine with a 200-kW electric motor, enabling 0–100 km/h acceleration in about 8.1 seconds.

Measuring 5,145 mm × 1,970 mm × 1,805 mm with a 3,045-mm wheelbase, the Xia's seven-seat layout targets both family and business travel. The cabin continues the original design, featuring a 15.6-inch floating center screen, 12.3-inch driver display, 12.3-inch passenger screen, and a steering-column shifter.

The intelligent cockpit runs BYD's DiLink 150 system, integrating a 15.6-inch roof-mounted rear display, a refrigerator, and a 28-speaker surround-sound system for enhanced comfort and entertainment.

With 30 sensors, the DiPilot 300 laser-based driver assistance system supports highway and urban navigation assist, full-scenario intelligent parking, and 360-degree environmental awareness.
