The Xia is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 200 kW electric motor as part of BYD’s DM 5.0 PHEV system. The 100 km range versions have a 20.4 kWh battery and the 180 km range versions have a 36.6 kWh battery. The long-range version offers a total driving range of 1060 km and fuel consumption of 5.4 L/100 km.
