Build Your Dreams (BYD) has revealed the interior of the Xia hybrid MPV, after showcasing its exterior in August of this year. The dashboard of the luxury MPV has a digital instrument display, a massive freestanding central touchscreen, and a third panel for the front passenger. It aligns with the MPV's window line, while the displays arranged in a vertical form extend to its lower part. The clean, minimalist appearance is enhanced by a sizable charging pad underneath the main display and a row of tactile buttons. Additionally, the air conditioning vents are carefully hidden. Other notable features include individual captain seats with armrests (in the second row), a three-spoke steering wheel, and two cup holders.

While there is no confirmation, the MPV is likely to include a fold-down display positioned in the ceiling, and a refrigerator for rear occupants. The third-row seats are expected to have heating and ventilation features, similar to the second-row seats. For more boot space, they can be folded flat into the floor and moved forward and backward.
