CarTell take
We haven't driven the Shark 6 yet. On paper, petrol economy spikes once the battery is depleted, so the maths only works if you can plug in regularly. BYD aftersales coverage is still expanding outside the metro areas.
Why consider it
- The first mainstream plug-in hybrid dual cab on sale in Australia, with 321 kW combined output, a 5.7-second 0 to 100 claim, 6 kW vehicle-to-load and 100 km of NEDC EV range from the Blade LFP pack.
What to know
- 2,500 kg braked tow trails the 3,500 kg Ranger, HiLux and D-Max benchmark.
- No transfer case, no low range, no locking differentials.
- AWD is fully electronic.
Who it suits
Urban and peri-urban ute buyers who run a dual cab as a daily and tow occasionally. The 100 km NEDC EV range covers most daily commutes, the 6 kW V2L turns the tray into a worksite or campsite power station.
