BYD Shark 6: A Revolutionary Arrival

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in the middle of a once-in-a-generation automotive extinction-level event. Traditional combustion engine vehicles are being gradually challenged by hybrid and electric models, and the BYD Shark 6 Dual Cab Ute is at the forefront of this challenge in the super-competitive dual cab ute market. The BYD Shark 6 has officially claimed the top spot as  Car of the Year 2024 in Australia even before a single car has been delivered to Australian buyers.

Here at All Four x 4 Spares, we’ve been following the release of this innovative vehicle in Australia with great interest.

At the time of writing, Queensland owners have already received the first batch of deliveries, with the rest of the country eagerly awaiting their turn.

BYD Shark 6 Key Specs

The BYD Shark 6 hybrid ute is a groundbreaking addition to Australia’s utility vehicle market, offering a compelling combination of power, efficiency, and advanced features. The Shark 6 BYD features a Hybrid Special 1.5 litre turbo high-power engine that works with the BYD Blade battery, boasting a huge 321Kw of power and 650Nm of torque maximum output. This gives the BYD SHARK 6 a 2,500 braked towing capacity, not for super-heavy towing but perfect for any lifestyle when it comes to light-medium towing .

How the Shark 6 Plug-in Hybrid System works

The way this plug-in Hybrid ute works is that the 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine primarily acts as a generator for two electric motors, one on each axle. This system powers the 29.58kWh ‘Blade’ battery and can also directly drive the vehicle. Together, the petrol engine and electric motors deliver the impressive combined output of 321kW and 650Nm. For shorter trips, you can switch to pure electric mode, offering an EV-only range of approximately 80 kilometers.
