On the evening of November 4, 2025, BYD officially launched the 2026 Xia, a mid-to-large-sized luxury family MPV under its Dynasty series. With four configuration options and a post-subsidy price starting at RMB 196,800, it once again launches a strong attack on the RMB 200,000-level MPV market. The new vehicle features comprehensive upgrades in range, intelligent driving, comfort features, and safety, aiming to provide families with a "one-stop" travel solution. The 2026 Xia offers four models with CLTC pure electric ranges of 100 km and 218 km, with a starting price of RMB 206,800 and a post-subsidy price starting at RMB 196,800.
The 2026 Xia offers four models across two CLTC pure electric range versions, showcasing strong competitiveness in both post-subsidy pricing and overall range:
100km Entry-level: Starting price RMB 206,800; Subsidized price RMB 196,800
100km Premium: Starting price RMB 219,800; Subsidized price RMB 209,800
218km Premium: Starting price RMB 246,800; Subsidized price RMB 236,800
218km Excellence: Starting price RMB 269,800; Subsidized price RMB 259,800
One of the most eye-catching highlights of the new car is its breakthrough in energy consumption. Its NEDC fuel consumption per 100km (without battery power) is as low as 4.9L/100km, which the company claims "ushers in a new era of '4' fuel consumption for mid-to-large MPVs." With a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery, the new car boasts a combined range of 1163 kilometers, completely eliminating range anxiety for long-distance travelers. Its pure electric range reaches up to 218 kilometers, sufficient for daily commutes in most cities.
The 2026 Xia continues the widely acclaimed "Hua Xia Dragon Face" design aesthetic, featuring a large grille at the front and a continuous taillight design at the rear, resulting in a grand and stable overall appearance.
New Colors: This facelift adds three distinctive paint options: the elegant Bamboo Green, the luxurious Purple-Gold Two-Tone, and the poetic Moon Shadow Black-Gold Two-Tone, combining with the existing Jian Kiln Purple and Distant Mountain Green to create a total of seven rich exterior color choices.
Interior Color Schemes: The interior offers two styles: Distant Mountain Gray Two-Tone and Sandalwood Brown Beige Two-Tone, catering to the aesthetic preferences of different families.
The intelligent driving assistance system is the highlight of this upgrade, offering differentiated experiences across different configurations:

100km/218km Advanced: Featuring the "God's Eye C" assisted driving system, providing more comprehensive driving assistance functions.
218km Excellence: Upgraded to the "God's Eye B Assisted Driving Laser Edition" with lidar, supporting advanced functions such as highway navigation assistance and parking assistance, with more precise perception capabilities.
The new car features significant improvements in interior luxury and entertainment experience, truly becoming a "family first-class cabin":
Queen's Passenger Seat: Equipped with a one-touch reclining, ventilation, heating, and massage function, a special treat for family members.
DiSound Audio System: A first for the model, featuring 28 speakers and incorporating self-developed Cube panoramic sound technology for an immersive auditory experience. Notably, the third-row speakers are easily detachable, and the audio systems in both vehicles can even be connected to create a stereo system, expanding its outdoor use.
Intelligent Refrigerator: Equipped with a 7.2L integrated compressor refrigerator, ensuring a constant supply of both cold drinks and hot food.
All-Area Intelligent Anti-Motion Sickness System: The industry's first system across the entire range, effectively alleviating motion sickness discomfort for passengers, especially the elderly and children.
In terms of handling and safety, the 2026 Xia makes no compromises:
Cloud-C Intelligent Body Control System: Featured in most models, this system adjusts damping in real-time according to road conditions, enhancing comfort and stability. Some higher-spec models also feature Cloud-C Pre-Range function, proactively detecting and adjusting to handle bumpy roads.
Comprehensive Safety Airbags: All models come standard with 10 airbags, including a 3.2-meter-long side curtain airbag with excellent coverage and a front remote airbag, providing comprehensive protection for all passengers.
TBC High-Speed Tire Blowout Stability Control System: Ensures the vehicle maintains stability even in the event of a tire blowout at high speed. It has reportedly passed a high-speed simulated tire blowout test at 140km/h.
The 2026 Xia actively builds a smart ecosystem, achieving several innovative connectivity functions:
People-Car-Home Connectivity: In cooperation with Midea, smart home devices can be directly controlled via the in-car voice assistant.
Watch Control: Compatible with mainstream smartwatches such as Huawei, Apple, OPPO, and vivo, enabling operations such as unlocking, locking, and opening the trunk.
AR Interaction and Car-Controlled Photography: Supports AR projection for door opening, increasing the fun of getting into the car; and in cooperation with Insta360, supports car-controlled photography functions using their action cameras.
The launch of the 2026 BYD Xia MPV is far more than a simple annual update. With significantly improved pure electric range, advanced intelligent driving features tailored to individual needs, superior comfort and entertainment configurations, and comprehensive safety features, it precisely addresses the core needs of modern families. Starting at a compelling price of RMB 196,800, it not only redefines the value benchmark for mid-to-large-sized luxury MPVs but also has the potential to become a new choice in the RMB 200,000 MPV market.
