This new MPV, now open for blind pre-orders, is set to hit the market by the end of this year.

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- BYD recently released official images of its latest MPV model, the Xia, which displays the final version of its Chinese-character badge. This new MPV, now opens for blind pre-orders, is set to hit the market by the end of this year.

The Xia's front end features BYD's signature "Dragon Face" design, with a bold "dragon whisker" trim accenting a large grille, lending the vehicle a powerful presence. Inside the grille, dragon scale armor-inspired detailing adds a layered, dynamic look, while the oversized air intakes on both sides amplify the aggressive styling.

As for the side profile, the Xia follows a traditional MPV shape with a straight roofline, maximizing headroom for passengers.

At the rear, the vehicle sports a sleek, full-width light bar and a small spoiler, adding a touch of sportiness to the design.

Under the hood, the Xia is powered by BYD's fifth-generation DM hybrid system, featuring a 1.5T engine paired with a plug-in hybrid setup. Equipped with a 38 kWh battery, the MPV offers a range of 145 km on battery power alone, with fuel consumption rated at just 6.5 liters per 100 km.

[Solid-State Battery: Nine Departments' 15th Five-Year Plan Incorporates Automotive Solid-State Batteries into Specialised Standards System, Accelerating Supply of Cutting-Edge Technology Standards] On 9 September 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and eight other departments issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Industry (MIIT Joint Regulation Letter [2026] No. 305). In the task of "continuously improving the standards system," the Plan specifies the ongoing establishment and refinement of specialised standards systems for automotive chips, automotive software, automotive artificial intelligence, automotive solid-state batteries, and low-carbon development of automobiles. In the task of "accelerating the supply of cutting-edge cross-disciplinary standards," it further proposes accelerating the formulation of frontier technology standards for automotive artificial intelligence, cockpit-driving integration, solid-state batteries, distributed electric drive, fully active suspension, integrated driving units, and chassis fusion control. The Plan does not establish a separate special clause for the industrialisation of solid-state batteries; the relevant arrangements primarily focus on standards taking the lead, providing regulatory support for subsequent technological breakthroughs and large-scale application.
