2025 BYD Shark 6 Review

The BYD Shark 6 is arguably the most anticipated launch coming into 2025, and it’s no wonder why.

The Ute market – dominated by the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, Isuzu D-Max and Mitsubishi Triton (to name a few) – has long been stale with expensive, slowly developed and highly profitable trucks that treat innovation as an annoying must have rather than something they’d want to do. 

We’ve travelled to Xi’an, China to be the first in the Western media world to drive the Australian specific BYD Shark 6; a Chinese Ute from the quickly growing powerhouse manufacturer Build Your Dreams, to see how it stacks up.

And spoiler alert; it’s looking like it will change the global truck industry forever.

How much does the BYD Shark 6 cost?

‍As of writing this review, and despite the BYD Shark 6 having been announced for sale from the 29^th of October, 2024, we still don’t know what the BYD Shark 6 will cost.

However, based on some exclusive off-record conversations CarSauce has had with BYD representatives in China, the BYD Shark 6 may start somewhere around $68,000 AUD before on-road costs. 

Trim levels as well have not yet been announced, but based on current naming schemes in Australia we’ll likely see two trim levels, the Dynamic base model and Premium top-spec.

Prices may top out at around $78,000 AUD before on-road costs for the Premium model.

We will confirm this with BYD closer to launch and update this review accordingly.

What’s the exterior like of the BYD Shark 6?

‍The BYD Shark has a refreshingly inoffensive design, with some smart features baked into the nice design.

Firstly, the Shark 6 is not a small ute – measuring 5,457mm in length (98mm longer than a Ford Ranger Wildtrak), 1,971mm in width (104mm wider than a Ford Ranger Wildtrak), with a wheelbase of 3,260mm (10mm shorter than a Ford Ranger Wildtrak), and a height of 1,925mm (77mm taller than a Ford Ranger Wildtrak).

The front has a striking lightbar on the front (admittedly very similar to the Ford F150 Lightning), but looks fantastic in the flesh. The headlights are fully LED – including turn signals, which is not a given even on $80,000 Utes – and bright, which will be great for lighting up the Aussie outback.

Below the headlight assembly are LED fog lights, which double as turning-assist lights, lighting up the side of the road depending on where the steering wheel is pointing.

Below the bumper is a steel bash plate, placed there to protect the front electric motor assembly.

We’re reviewing the top-spec BYD Shark Premium here, meaning we get 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in some decent road-focused Continental Cross Contact RX tyres.

Other features on the side include a 360-degree camera, tinted rear privacy glass, metal roof rails, plastic side steps and keyless entry and go.

You’ll also find your electric charge ports on the right-hand side of the Shark 6, whilst the petrol filler point is on the left-hand side of the body.

Coming to the rear, another large light bar crosses across the entirety of the rear, with fully LED rear tail-lights.

There’s an array of badging, and a rear step for easier access into the tub. It would have been nice for BYD to have added a Ford Ranger-esque side step, but if they did – we’d have almost nothing to criticise.

What’s the tub like of the BYD Shark 6?‍

The tub-space on the BYD Shark can only be described as enormous, but also extra practical thanks to the inclusion of V2L.

V2L – or Vehicle-to-Load – allows you to charge high-output devices straight from the Shark 6 thanks to its large onboard battery pack.

The Tub has 3 Australian household sockets, with a maximum total output of 6kW (or 6000 watts), which means you can power tools, fridges and other appliances, or anything else you can think of straight from the tub of the Shark 6.

The tub has is 1520mm wide, 1500mm long, 517mm long and has a maximum capacity of 1200L. That makes it the same width as the as a Ford Ranger dual-cab, 36mm wider than a Ford Ranger and 8mm less height than a Ford Ranger. The Ford Ranger also has slightly more litreage at 1233L, which is 33L more than the BYD Shark.

Other nifty features including an auto-opening tailgate (though manual close), a gas strut for easy lift and soft opening, LED lighting with a weather-proofed button, and 6 tie down points (3 on each side).

Under the tub you’ll find a full-size spare wheel, which is great to see though expected in this class.

What’s the interior like of the BYD Shark 6?

Stepping into the BYD Sharks interior, it’s hard not to be immediately impressed.

Unlike some of the more funky interior spaces BYD has produced, like what you’d find in a BYD Atto 3, the Shark’s interior feels suitably premium and thoughtful.

Soft touch materials are everywhere, which is great for soaking up NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), and the cabin is an extremely quiet place to be – possibly only beaten by the GWM Cannon Alpha.

Orange is clearly the theme of the day, with anodized metal air-vent surrounds, cup holder surrounds and orange stitching running along the centre dash and seats too.

Speaking of seats, the BYD Shark has some of the most comfortable seats I have sat in - period. The faux leather seats are heated and cooled, with power adjustment for both the passenger (6-way) and driver (12-way, including 4-way lumbar).

One of my biggest gripes with Chinese cars in general has been their lack of under-thigh support, however the Shark 6 fixes this with adjustable under-thigh support for the driver only.

The leather steering wheel is a new design from BYD, and has a more logical layout than previous steering wheels from BYD. It feels great in the hands, with easy access to most-frequently used vehicle functions.

Down the bottom of the steering wheel are also dual mode selectors, the left-hand side being on-road drive modes (Eco, Normal and Sport) while the right-hand side are off-road drive modes (Gravel, Mud and Sand).

In front of the driver is a 10.25-inch digital drivers display that shows plenty of information, though is certainly not the most customisable. Still, it's bright enough, colour accurate and does a great job at feeling high-tech.

And if you don’t feel like looking at that, you could just use the heads-up display instead.

The 12.8-inch display on the other hand is class leading. It’s a huge display with a very fast processor within it, making it one of the fastest screens I’ve interacted with to-date.

It comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the cool though admittedly gimmicky 90-degree rotation feature, where the display will physically turn from a landscape display to a portrait display.

I say gimmicky, because if like most people you use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, it will rotate and lock back to landscape mode.

Also, if you like physical air-conditioning controls, you may not like the BYD Shark 6. Frankly, I didn’t at all find the air-conditioning controls being within the display to be an issue, and once you set it – you usually just forget it.

Another big benefit of the interior of the BYD Shark 6 is the inclusion of the Dynaudio sound system, which does sound epic. We counted at least 11 speakers, including 2 in the roof above the rear seats, but there could be more.

The centre console at first glance looks quite overwhelming, but it's really not.

Up front-right is a fast 50W wireless charger with an air-conditioning vent to stop phone overheating, however the front-left – while looking like a wireless charger – is simply an NFC reader for the credit-card style key card that comes with the Shark 6.

The electronic gear selector has a nice enough action to it, with very rugged buttons flanking either side.

Below those, are a row of 5 fighter-jet style buttons, including you EV/HEV mode selector (more on that later), a tailgate release and an orange anodized start stop button.

In terms of storage, you get dual cup holders (none in the dash like a Toyota HiLux, unfortunately), a relatively small glovebox, a large open storage space cut into the dash with a lip to stop things flying back and hitting the passenger, large door bins and a soft-centre armrest with plenty of storage.

Inside the glovebox you’ll also find a USB-C port, USB-A port and 12v socket.

Interestingly, there appears to be a blank sunroof controller panel above the driver, which may mean future models or updates will include a sunroof, though for now you get none.

Overall, the interior is truly fantastic. It’s one of those products you sit in and try to fault, but really can’t.

What about back seats?‍

Despite having a slightly shorter wheelbase versus a Ford Ranger Dual-Cab, the BYD Shark still manages to wipe the floor with rear-seat comfort.

BYD representatives informed CarSauce that the Shark is built on an EV first platform, that was then adapted to fit a combustion powertrain.

Subsequently, because there is no physical connection between the front and rear axles like a traditional 4x4 Ute, the floor in the rear is completely flat.

At 179cm (5-foot 11-inches), and behind my normal driving position, I have heaps of leg-room, head-room and toe-room.

This cannot be said of most utes, which often compromise heavily on back seat room.

The seats are the same faux-leather as up-front, with a centre-armrest that has 2 cupholders.

Unfortunately, unlike some utes with storage under the seats, although you can lift up the rear seats that simply exposes an AC-to-DC converter and the new 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery.

Dropping the back rests reveals some storage space and three top-tether points for child seats.

Quality of materials continue through to the rear, with soft touch materials everywhere.

Amenities are also great, with two air-vents, a small storage area, another USB-A port and USB-C port, and a 2.2kW V2L household socket.

What’s the towing and payload like of the BYD Shark 6?‍

Arguably the biggest criticism of the BYD Shark 6 are the compromises BYD has made for its towing capacity and payload capacity.

The BYD Shark 6 has a 2,500kg braked towing capacity and maximum payload of 790kg. For context, a leaf-sprung Ford Ranger Wildtrak V6 Diesel has a 3,500kg braked towing capacity and maximum payload of 1041kg.

It’s for a good reason though, and that’s because unlike almost every other Ute on the market that uses heavy-duty but uncomfortable leaf-spring suspension for the rear, the BYD Shark uses double-wishbone, coil-sprung suspension for both the front and rear suspension.

That means that for both on-road performance and off-road performance, the BYD Shark excels, however it can’t quite carry or haul as much as other Utes in the segment.

However, it’s worth mentioning the upcoming Ford Ranger PHEV will come with leaf-sprung suspension and a 3,500kg braked towing capacity.

What’s under the bonnet of the BYD Shark 6?

The BYD Shark 6 is powered by a dual-powertrain system, combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and two electric motors, providing a total output of 320kW and 650Nm of torque. 

The BYD Shark 6 is a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), which prioritises the use of its two electric motors located at the front and rear. When driving at speeds below 70km/h, the petrol engine primarily functions as a generator to recharge the battery (series mode). 

Above 70km/h, the engine continues to act as a generator but can also directly power the front wheels through a clutch mechanism (parallel mode), enhancing efficiency and power delivery at higher speeds.

Unlike the BYD Sealion 6, the petrol engine in the Shark 6 is longitudinally mounted, which optimises weight distribution and supports the vehicle’s off-road and towing capabilities.

This setup allows for a balance between power delivery and efficiency, making it suitable for a variety of driving conditions.

Individual Outputs:

• The 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine generates 135kW of power and 260Nm of torque.
• The front electric motor contributes 170kW and 310Nm of torque.
• The rear electric motor adds 150kW and 340Nm of torque, ensuring all-wheel drive capability when needed for additional traction.

The electric power is managed by BYD’s Blade Battery, a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) unit with a capacity of 29.58kWh. The battery supports a pure electric driving range of 80km (WLTP), offering a practical option for short journeys or urban use. 

When combined with the petrol engine, the total range extends to an estimated 800km, providing flexibility for longer trips without frequent charging or refueling stops.

BYD claims a fuel economy of 2.0L/100km with ‘sufficient state of charge’, though the Shark gets 7.9L/100km combined on NEDC.

For charging options, the Shark 6 is equipped with:

• AC Charging via a Type 2 port, delivering up to 7kW of charging power.
• DC Fast Charging through a CCS2 port, with a maximum capacity of 55kW, allowing a 30% to 80% charge in approximately 25 minutes.

Additionally, the vehicle is fitted with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, providing up to 6kW of power through three outlets (one in the cabin and two in the cargo area). This feature can be used to power various devices, such as tools or camping equipment, directly from the vehicle’s battery.

DMO (Dual Mode Offroad) Technology

The BYD Shark 6 also incorporates DMO (Dual Mode Offroad) technology, designed to optimise the vehicle’s performance for different terrain types. 

DMO adjusts the balance between the petrol engine and electric motors depending on the selected driving mode, enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and improving off-road handling.

Off-Road Driving Modes:

• Gravel Mode: Optimises traction and power distribution for loose surfaces like gravel, aiming to improve control and reduce wheel spin.
• Mud Mode: Adjusts torque to the wheels with the most grip in muddy conditions, helping to prevent the vehicle from getting stuck.
• Sand Mode: Increases throttle responsiveness and adjusts gear shifts to maintain momentum on sandy surfaces, reducing the risk of becoming bogged down.

Drivetrain Modes:

• HEV Parallel Mode: Engages both the petrol engine and electric motors to maximise power output, useful for high-speed driving or when carrying heavier loads.
• HEV Series Mode: The petrol engine generates electricity for the motors, providing efficient power for low-speed driving or city conditions.
• EV Mode: Operates on electric power alone, with a range of up to 80km, ideal for emission-free driving in urban areas.

How does the BYD Shark 6 perform on-road?

The BYD Shark 6 delivers a surprisingly balanced and capable on-road experience, especially for a vehicle in the ute segment. 

Built on a robust ladder-frame chassis known as the DMO (Dual Mode Off-road) platform, the Shark 6 is designed to offer a blend of off-road toughness and on-road refinement. 

This platform is made particularly rigid by incorporating the vehicle’s Blade Battery into the chassis itself, which significantly increases the structural integrity. 

This enhanced torsional stiffness, combined with a double wishbone suspension setup at both the front and rear, allows the Shark 6 to feel more composed and comfortable than many of its leaf-sprung competitors, especially during everyday driving conditions.

Under the bonnet, the Shark 6 is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine paired with two electric motors—one mounted on the front axle and the other on the rear. The front electric motor generates 170kW and 310Nm, while the rear motor adds another 150kW and 340Nm. 

The total system output is an impressive 320kW of power and 650Nm of torque. This power delivery is immediate, particularly at lower speeds, thanks to the electric motors providing instant torque, which enhances responsiveness.

The Shark 6 operates primarily as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), where its drivetrain intelligently adapts depending on speed and demand. At speeds below 70 km/h, the petrol engine functions as a generator, recharging the battery while the electric motors handle the driving, known as series mode. 

However, once speeds exceed 70 km/h, the engine can engage a clutch to directly power the front wheels alongside the electric motors (parallel mode), ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery during highway driving. The vehicle can also operate in EV mode, where it runs solely on electric power for up to 80km (WLTP), making it ideal for short urban commutes without relying on the petrol engine.

On-road, the Shark 6 excels in terms of comfort and handling. The coil-sprung double wishbone suspension provides a level of refinement rarely seen in utes, absorbing imperfections effectively while maintaining stability. 

The ride quality feels comparable to SUVs, and the suspension design ensures minimal body roll, even when taking sharp corners or executing quick manoeuvres. Despite its large size, the Shark 6 remains composed and planted.

Acceleration is another highlight, with the Shark 6 managing to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5.99 seconds during our test, which is notably quick for a ute of its size and weight. This puts it on par with performance-focused models like the Ford Ranger Raptor, though the Shark 6 benefits from the combined power of its electric motors and petrol engine. 

The instant torque from the electric motors gives the Shark 6 a responsive and lively feel at lower speeds, while the petrol engine provides sustained power for longer journeys.

BYD claims a combined range of around 800km, incorporating both the electric and petrol power sources. The Shark 6 also supports DC fast charging up to 55kW, allowing for rapid battery top-ups, and 7kW AC charging for home or work charging setups. 

The DMO platform doesn’t just enhance off-road capabilities; it also plays a key role in the Shark’s on-road performance by providing a more rigid chassis. The battery pack, which is integrated into the ladder frame, improves the vehicle’s overall stiffness, reducing flex during cornering and making it feel more stable at higher speeds or when carrying a load. 

The improved rigidity also contributes to a quieter cabin, as the body structure helps to dampen vibrations and road noise.

Ultimately, we’re really impressed with how the BYD Shark 6 performs on-road in China, but we’ll have to reserve final judgement for when we can drive the Shark back home in Australia. The local development work—which BYD claims to be immense—has clearly paid off, making the Shark 6 a strong competitor in an increasingly competitive market.

While we await its official release on Australian roads, it’s clear that BYD has engineered a ute that stands out for its blend of comfort, power, and technological innovation.

How does the BYD Shark 6 perform off-road?

‍Built on a ladder-frame chassis with the Blade Battery integrated into the structure, the Shark 6 benefits from increased torsional rigidity, which is critical for off-road stability. The suspension setup—double wishbone coil-sprung suspension at both the front and rear—provides more wheel articulation than traditional leaf-spring setups, allowing the Shark to handle uneven surfaces with minimal body roll and improved comfort.

On the track in Xi’an, China, we had the chance to put the Shark 6 through its paces on a set-up off-road course featuring various terrain types. The Shark 6 is equipped with three primary off-road modes—Sand, Mud, and Gravel—which optimise the vehicle’s traction control and power distribution.

In Sand Mode, for example, throttle sensitivity is increased, and the transmission is adjusted to maintain momentum, which is essential when driving on loose, soft surfaces. Mud Mode alters the power delivery to prevent the vehicle from getting bogged down, while Gravel Mode focuses on maintaining stability and grip on rocky or uneven surfaces.

The vehicle’s dual electric motors (one on each axle) allow for precise power distribution between the front and rear wheels. The system can automatically shift up to 100% of power to either the front or rear axle, depending on where grip is needed most. This feature becomes particularly useful in challenging conditions where traction is uneven. 

For example, during our testing, the Shark 6 showed excellent control when climbing a steep, dusty hill. Even after coming to a complete stop mid-ascent, the vehicle had no trouble restarting and continuing the climb, demonstrating its 60% hill-climbing capability and 31-degree approach angle.

In terms of clearance, the Shark 6 boasts a ground clearance of 230mm, which helped it navigate over large rocks and ruts without scraping the underbody. The departure angle of 19.5 degrees and ramp-over angle of 17 degrees also contribute to its ability to manage steep inclines and declines without bottoming out, ensuring the Shark remains stable on difficult terrain.

The Shark 6 is also equipped with five layers of protection for its Blade Battery, a critical feature for off-road driving where the risk of underbody damage is heightened. This extra protection helps safeguard the battery from punctures or damage caused by rocks and debris during off-road excursions, ensuring the vehicle maintains its structural integrity even in more extreme conditions.

One area where the Shark 6 does face limitations is its stock tyres. The vehicle comes fitted with Continental Cross Contact RX road tyres, which, while adequate for moderate off-road use, don’t offer the same grip or durability as dedicated all-terrain tyres. 

During our testing, the tyres struggled slightly on loose surfaces, which is something that potential buyers might want to address if they plan on taking the Shark off-road frequently.

While the off-road course in China wasn’t the most challenging, it did provide a good sense of the Shark 6’s capability. The coil-sprung suspension absorbs bumps and dips with ease, offering a more comfortable ride compared to the harsher leaf-spring setups found in most utes. This, combined with the Shark’s ability to adapt its power distribution in real-time, makes it a versatile performer on a variety of terrains.

Ultimately, the Shark 6 feels well-suited for off-road driving. Its combination of advanced electric power distribution, off-road driving modes, and a rigid chassis with integrated battery protection ensures that it can handle challenging conditions with confidence. 

We’ll need to test the Shark further on Australian off-road tracks to see how it performs in more extreme environments, but based on what we’ve experienced so far, the Shark 6 is a capable and comfortable off-roader.

Final thoughts on the BYD Shark 6

‍The 2025 BYD Shark 6 signals a new era in the ute market, blending cutting-edge hybrid powertrain technology with impressive off-road capabilities and a refined on-road experience. 

BYD has made significant strides in developing the Shark 6 as a serious competitor, offering something different in a segment historically dominated by established brands like Ford, Toyota, and Isuzu.

On the road, the Shark 6 excels with its dual electric motors providing instant torque and smooth, responsive acceleration. The double wishbone suspension at both the front and rear delivers SUV-like comfort, setting it apart from traditional utes, which often feel harsher on the road. 

The plug-in hybrid system allows for up to 80km of pure electric driving, making it ideal for daily commutes, while the combined range of 800km ensures longer trips are handled with ease.

Off-road, the Shark 6 demonstrates its capabilities with ease. Thanks to its DMO platform, robust ladder-frame chassis, and integrated Blade Battery for added rigidity, it handles rough terrain confidently. 

The off-road modes (Gravel, Mud, and Sand) enhance traction and performance across different surfaces, and the 230mm ground clearance allows it to clear obstacles without trouble. However, while the 2,500kg towing capacity and 790kg payload are lower than some rivals, the focus on comfort and ride quality makes these trade-offs more understandable.

Inside, the BYD Shark 6 impresses with a well-appointed cabin that feels premium and thoughtfully designed. Soft-touch materials abound, effectively reducing road noise and vibrations, and the faux-leather seats, which are both heated and cooled, provide excellent comfort on long journeys. 

The 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar and under-thigh support adds to the ergonomic driving experience, while the large 12.8-inch multimedia display is intuitive and fast, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Dynaudio sound system further enhances the sense of luxury, offering crisp audio throughout the cabin. It's clear BYD has prioritised driver and passenger comfort in this ute.

While the BYD Shark 6 might not boast the highest towing or payload capacities, its combination of innovative technology, comfort, and on- and off-road versatility makes it a strong contender in the Australian ute market. For those looking for a blend of modern features, eco-friendly options, and a comfortable, practical vehicle, the BYD Shark 6 is well worth considering. 

The immense local development effort BYD has put into this model clearly shows, and it will be interesting to see how it performs on Australian roads.
