Picked Up Our 2026 BYD Atto 3 EVO in Sydney! Cooled Seats, Black D-Pillar & 120kW Fast Charging Tested

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

The 3-stage ventilated front seats, faster DiLink 100 5G interface, factory Continental tyres, and plush revised rear dampers make our favourite daily SUV even better. Plugged into an Evie 350 kW charger at 19% SOC on the way home and saw 118 kW peak immediately!

Followed the steps in the second post earlier this week and it sorted the issue out in less than 10 minutes. Saved me a trip to the service centre.

Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

I checked the service manual torque specs and fuse layout over the weekend and everything matches what you outlined here.

Being able to run a 2,000W induction stove and espresso maker off the V2L socket while only dropping 3% SOC over an afternoon is a game changer.

Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.
