BYD Austria published this bulletin on 31 Oct 2025 for a roll-out in Q4 2025. Everything below is translated from the German PDF; we have not installed this release on a car.

Overview#

Optimised

  • Climate comfort optimised
  • One-touch windscreen defrost and demist optimised
  • Battery thermal-management strategy at low ambient temperatures optimised

Optimisations#

Climate comfort optimised#

The reference temperature in automatic mode has been changed from 24 °C to 22 °C, to better match everyday comfort needs and allow more precise temperature control.

One-touch windscreen defrost and demist optimised#

The air-distribution logic for defrosting has been optimised and now works more efficiently.

Battery thermal-management strategy at low ambient temperatures optimised#

The battery cooling strategy at low temperatures has been adjusted: the active cooling system now responds at ambient temperatures below 5 °C. This resolves the problem of reduced fast-charging power that could previously arise when the battery warmed up during fast charging in cold conditions.

What we have not verified#

  • This is a translation of BYD Austria’s bulletin, not a test: we have not installed V1.1.1 on a Tang.
  • The bulletin was published by BYD’s Austrian importer. The release itself is the European one, but roll-out dates are given for Austria, and a few items are country-specific (radio services, interface languages, legal notes).
  • Availability of individual features can depend on trim, model year and the head-unit hardware.
