After qualifying second behind Andy Chang, he held off Charles Leong to win the opening race of the 2022 Macau Grand Prix (the third round of the championship), and finished second in the main race, sealing the championship title in the process. In the final round of the season at Pingtan Street Circuit, Xie again took double pole position and won all four races with the fastest lap in each, to win the championship by over 160 points, the largest ever title-winning margin in a Chinese F4 season.
