BYD Xia

BYD unveiled a new large luxury MPV named the Xia at the Chengdu Motor Show. However, the MPV’s interior was under wraps at the time. Now, the carmaker has revealed the interior of its luxury MPV ahead of its launch in the Chinese market.

In line with other new BYD models, the Xia has a digital-heavy dashboard design replete with a digital instruments display, a large free-standing central touchscreen, and a third screen for the co-driver. An interesting element is that the top of the dashboard falls in line with the base of the MPV’s windows with the displays integrated into a vertical shelf that flows into the lower dashboard. The air-con vents too are cleverly tucked away for a more cohesive look. The centre console also is free of clutter with a large charging pad under the central touchscreen and a row of physical buttons below it. Further back rests a pair of cup holders followed by the front centre armrest.

Moving to the second row, the Xia gets individual captain seats with individual armrest. The seats are electronically adjustable and feature ventilation, heating and massage functions. The seats also have in-built leg rests. As per reports, the rear passengers also get a fold-down display mounted in the ceiling as well as a fridge.

Other Upcoming BYD Models are the Atto 2 EV, New Atto 3 EV and Seagull
