The BYD Shark 6's standard equipment includes keyless entry, push-button start, rain-sensing wipers, LED headlights, LED DRLs, wireless Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto, digital key, FM/digital radio, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, over-the-air updates, 15.6-inch media display, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system, two USB-A and C ports, four 230-volt AC ports, powered front seats, heated/ ventilated front seats, and a full-size spare wheel.

The BYD Shark 6 cabin is cavernous and comfort is evidently a top priority with soft trims, upmarket textures and upholstery scattered liberally across the cabin. The design motto seems to be 'go big or go home' in the wide seating, air vents, and switches. The dashboard is headlined by a large 15.6-inch media display and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. While the cabin lacks a sunroof and some features, it manages to punch well above what it's price point might suggest.

The BYD Shark 6 pairs a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with two electric motors - one on each axle. On its own, the petrol engine makes 135kW/260Nm, but the hybrid system boosts total outputs to a more impressive 321kW and 650Nm.

The BYD Shark 6 has five seats in a 2/3 configuration. Seating is finished in black synthetic leather with contrasting orange stitching. Front seats are powered with four-way lumbar support, as well as, heat and ventilation functions.

The rear bench seat can lift forward to reveal access to the Blade battery but doesn't offer any storage.

The BYD Shark 6 can sprint 0-100km/h in just 5.7 seconds and its top speed is at least 150km/h.

The BYD Shark 6 has a 100km pure EV range and a 60L fuel tank but when in hybrid mode it's claimed combined fuel cycle usage is 7.9L/100km and it has a theoretical driving range of around 800km. It accepts a minimum of 91 RON petrol.
