All-New 2025 BYD Xia is 5.1-meter MPV
BYD has finally unveiled its newest minivan, BYD Xia. It is a sizable MPV with a 5.1-meter length and the 5-gen DM plug-in hybrid system on board. It will enter the market this year with a starting price of $42,300.
The BYD Xia was previously rumored to be called Tang Max or Zhou. However, BYD has decided to call it after the Xia dynasty. It is the oldest dynasty in traditional Chinese historiography, established in 2070 BC. By calling their minivan Xia, BYD expressly stated it is the flagship product of its Dynasty series.
The exterior design of the BYD Xia has its own distinguishing style with a large trapeze-shaped grille. Otherwise, it follows the BYD’s Dragon Face design language with a chrome-plated element and elongated headlights in the front. Another feature of the Xia MPV is the BYD inscription in the front end. Other Dynasty series cars adopt Chinese hieroglyph logo in the front.
The overall proportions of the BYD Xia remind us of the Denza D9 minivan (see specs). It has a flat roofline, rear sliding doors, and a roof spoiler. From the back, the Xia has a single taillight LED strip. The dimensions of the BYD Xia are 5145/1970/1805 mm with a wheelbase of 3045 mm. It is 105 mm shorter, 10 mm wider, and 115 mm lower than the mentioned Denza D9.
The interior of the BYD Xia wasn’t officially revealed. But we’ve previously covered spy shots of its cabin. It adopts a seven-seat interior with a 2 + 2 + 3 layout. Its center console stays in line with other recently launched BYD cars like the Qin L sedan or Song L DM-i crossover. It has a large suspended screen and a D-shaped steering wheel.
