BYD Shark 6

FROM

$57,900

Undoubtedly BYD’s most hyped-up model for the Australian market yet. The plug-in hybrid Shark 6 ushers in a new generation of utes for the segment, leaving dual-cab diesel staples in the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux and Isuzu D-Max wary.

The model’s initial late-2024 launch was dogged by delivery issues, softening the initial sales impact it was expected to have. But make no mistake, this is a big car for BYD in Australia.

The line-up currently starts at $57,900 for the Shark 6 Dual Motor Premium and ranges through to $57,900 for the range-topping Shark 6 Dual Motor Premium.

Just a bit of familiarisation is required.

A multi-adjustable driving position offers unobstructed views of the digital and multi-configurable instrumentation display. Similarly, vision out is good too.
