BYD Shark
The BYD Shark or BYD Shark 6 in some markets[2] is a plug-in hybrid mid-size pickup truck manufactured by BYD Auto since 2024. The vehicle debuted in Mexico in May 2024 as the first light utility vehicle model made by BYD. It is based on a body-on-frame chassis with a Dual Mode Off-Road (DMO) hybrid drivetrain, similar to the platform used on the Fangchengbao Bao 5. OverviewIn April 2024, BYD announced that it will be naming its first pickup truck the BYD Shark.[3] The BYD Shark was first introduced in Mexico on May 14, 2024. It is the first time BYD had a vehicle global debut launch outside China, as the BYD Shark is not marketed in China.[4][5] The model is produced in China at BYD Super Intelligent Factory in Zhengzhou, Henan.[6] The pickup truck is powered by a 1.5-liter 170 kW (228 hp; 231 PS) turbocharged petrol engine mounted longitudinally, along with two electric motors on each axle, creating an electric four-wheel drive layout rated at 320 kW (429 hp; 435 PS). BYD claims that it is the world's first longitudinally-mounted range-extender hybrid layout.[7] It uses BYD's proprietary LFP blade battery with a capacity of 29.58 kWh installed with a cell-to-chassis technology mounted under the floor.[8] It is able to be charged on a fast DC charger at a rate of up to 55 kW.[7] The claimed 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 5.7 seconds, and the fuel consumption is claimed to be 7.5 L/100 km (13.3 km/l; 31.4 mpg‑US). It has a braked towing capacity of 2,500 kg (5,510 lb), an 835 kg (1,840 lb) payload and 1,450 L (51 cu ft) cargo volume.[9] The BYD Shark uses a coil spring double wishbone independent rear suspension instead of leaf spring commonly used by its competitors in the mid-size segment.[10] It has a claimed unladen ground clearance figure of 230 mm (9.1 in). The approach angle is at 31 degrees, while the ramp over and departure angle are 17 degrees and 19 degrees respectively.[11] The cabin of the BYD Shark came equipped with full synthetic leather interior trimmings, a 12.8-inch or 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment with rotating screen feature, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12-speaker Dynaudio-branded premium audio system.[7]
