2025 BYD Seal gets suspension upgrades, Atto 3 adds ventilated seats

With this year’s update, all variants of the BYD Seal now get a powered sunshade, which was offered as an optional accessory before. This addition should prevent the cabin from becoming extremely hot after long spells of driving under the sun, something that we had reported in our Seal review. Now, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, too. The electric car has also been equipped with an improved air conditioning and purification system.

The Seal’s mid-spec Premium variant gains Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD), a feature previously reserved for the top Performance trim. In the Performance variant, BYD has added its DiSus-C system, which can soften the suspension on bumpy roads and stiffen it during cornering, acceleration and braking – all in real-time.

The latest Atto 3 gets an all-black (previously three-tone) interior with ventilated front seats. BYD has also upgraded the electric SUV’s lead acid battery to a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) low-voltage battery. According to BYD, this new battery is six times lighter than conventional low-voltage batteries and has a lifespan of 15 years.
