Still waiting for a reviewer in Australia that understands the drive train in this vehical. The Sharks been selling in Mexico for months already, US reviews are in private owned vehicles on public roads. This is a series hybrid, not parallel. When the gas motors not running its two electric motors combined are 450hp, when the gas motor runs the generator it’s still 430hp. The drive is one speed transaxle electric motor at each end.
I Agree! I'm still waiting for a clear explanation of what happens with the Shark if the battery is low & I have topped up the gas tank full? will I be able to drive in any of the modes, or will I still be limited to the low battery power only, UNLESS.. I drive at 70mph or Above... to activate the "Hybrid system, & engage the gas ICE engine into the fight?....I still want that simply cleared up. basic question, can I go gas only & recharge battery when battery is low & I've topped the gas to full? Until the battery gets some good juice, then can I use a less gass intensive mode? that's what I'd love to know about the Shark6 to cure my range anxiety....
@@zechssiguro7476 you dont have to charge the battery. It can run as a non-plug in hybrid and still give very good economy around town - okay on the hwy.
Interesting price point considering the features, knowing Ford and their joke pricing of the Ranger and the PHEV, knowing Ford would want to price it at $150k and the handful of dopes that would pay that, it just might bring a bit of respectability to the pricing in this market segment.
@@remix-yy1hs they certainly do, in fact the ranger, triton, and hilux are all top sellers here and there are no shortage of american imports (f150's. Rams, GMC's) on english roads. oddly enough its easier to navigte with a truck than it is with a range rover.
@@christover1 oh yeah okay that makes sense, but i want the plug-in hybrid version. i prefer a series/plug-in hybrid such as this because its the best of all worlds. Genuinely something i could use.
@@AandKs interior and driving videos of the bao 8 are out. It has the more powerful engine and larger battery that the next larger shark will likely have
So how does fuel economy work with towing a heavy boat long distances? Will it be that much better than a diesel? Will the petrol motor be working most of the time given load, or will it just come on to recharge the battery? Im new to the EV scene and not sure how it works
This may not be the ute for you if you're towing a heavy boat (2500kg+). They are working on a 3500kg towing ute with potential at 2.0L petrol engine but unsure of when that one will be announced. For the moment Diesel is still the way to go for heavy towing
Seems odd that they went for a 1.5 range extender that needs premium unleaded on a ute. A 2.0 that can run on regular unleaded and maybe a bigger battery would seem to make more sense here and give it a higher tow rating of at least 3K kgs?
I've seen a few complaints about the ride, but they should have dropped a couple of hundred kg in the back to give it a bit more of a chance. Personally I'd prefer a stiff ride when empty than a soggy ride with some gear onboard or having to buy new springs in the 1st 1500km.
This is actually a new category. Looks interesting on paper. While there are some very tempting elements in it, practicality like tow weight is lacking. Won’t be a Guinea pig with that amount of money anyway.
Uh.. where is my comment? :( What's it like at 110kmh, please? Given that a lot of people might buy these not for offroading but travelling 'outback' and want an actual spare tyre (like me) and just want to know what the fuel consumption is after going from Perth to Kalgoorlie, or whatever the equivalent is over east. Thanks.
@garythomson1738 yes it has. BYD have been producing batteries since early 90s. All the electric buses in the UK from the 90s. BYD were a battery company 1st, Car company 2nd
@@garythomson1738 ask the taxi driver in china, they drive more than doubled the trdies do here everyday since at least 10 yrs ago with those battery lol
Also @4.00 do your reviewer a favour and give him a 2nd take if he stumbles twice in a 10 second bit to camera. I know not everyone can be Mat Watson, and fair enough if he doesn't quite nail the longer pieces, but help him out a bit on the short ones eh?
If BYD cars can perform reliably for more than 7 or 8 years, like Toyota, they could definitely dominate the car sales market. However, this will take time to prove.
In Mexico shark has a starting price for $53K equivalent for a midsize which is honestly a lot higher than I expected. I expected something in the $35K or at most mid $40K range (starting price of a Tacoma hybrid). Remember in Mexico a base Hilux starts at $20K equivalent while crew cab with diesel start at $30K or so BYD is twice as much Yet its towing and payload a lot less, no solid axle means it is never gonna be as off-road capable. It uses e-CVT rather than traditional torque converter automatic. Its 30kwh or so battery is stored not in the interior like the Wrangler 4XE or TNGA-F product but outside underneath the cab. So repairing and replacing on that battery will take longer and cost more money. Some of the biggest problem of the BYD DMO platform. This is not the game changer that some people hyped up to be
@@miraphycs7377 Oh, you couldn't be more wrong. The dealership I went to had 20 in the lot all accounted for sold out. Then we went to the Toyota dealership and they had Tacoma's in abundance, any color you want discounted.

@@miraphycs7377it is selling like hotcakes, I live in Mexico, this is the 2nd best selling BYD vehicle in Mexico, every dealers sells at least 200 per month of this, it is the first rival to actually overcome the long lasting leader Tacoma as the family truck.
Plug in really as I’m a tradesman as soon as I as my son imagine both of you fighting who’s going to charge their car first in the driveway or garage especially those blocks that are tiny. It’s a no from me
Can we pls find out what it’s like to fix this EV Ute out of warranty in your next review. What if replacement battery or motors are needed out of warranty? What will be the cost? Or are we just expected to trash it because it cost too much? EV’s are becoming thrown away electronics because they aren’t repairable at a reasonable cost. So many reviews on this Ute already from car journalists but you all have the same talking points, like your working from a script. Sound like this BYD Ute has potential but if it’s a ticking time bomb out of warranty then you better of with a traditional Ute. We need real facts, on longevity and dealership reassurance that replacement parts don’t cost the price of the whole Ute out of warranty.
Maybe when they release the cheaper version in 2025 early, they might pit the price down for this one too. Byd is crazy like that Or when the other uses enter the market.
One question: payload: I believe the figure ways 780kg. What is this related too or the associated specs? Meaning , does this in,use a full taken of 98 premium, 70lr (let’s say 70kg). Then adding 4 ppl @ 100kg each. So this would mean a loss of 470kg of the payload of 780kg, leaving 310 kg if I can add up. That would be my limited basic tool set, not including any materials. Hmmmm…. Definitely not a work vehicle. Payload would ned o increase by 100-150kg at a minimum. I do like the idea of it though. Just needs further development and adjustments to suit different needs , beside soccer mums…🤣
Problems I see upcoming, 1) People will forget its still going to need to be plugged in sometimes at a cost to your pocket. 2) People who only buy for short trips will let the fuel go stale in the tank and damage components and running of engine. 3) People will decide they do not need to run premium fuel as they are cheapskates damaging the motor and efficiency. 4) China will be pumping out cars at a rate that depreciation will happen quicker than ever with new models and features arriving daily. 5) People will not get the engine serviced on time. DO NOT BUY SECOND HAND AND YEARS OF AGE WILL BE TELLING TOO. Legacy makers better stop gouging us for cash and smarten up.
@@andrewiverach659 ahh no they won't... and here is why.... trades people and 4wd bogans value one thing above everything else.

@@TerryHickey-xt4mf I hired a Camry Hybrid for a week in FNQ. Before returning it to the rental the refill was $28. It spent a lot of time in EV mode. Wonderful system.
The key fail of BYD's Shark can't be idenfified in a short review - durability. Chinese customers have had this vehicle and found it to be inadequate for any long term heavy use. Search RUclips. The steel used for the undercarraige is poor and incapable of standing heavy use for any significant time. It may be fine if you want a very light use truck for paved roads; but not as a work truck; not as a off road vehicle and that is what BYD often tries to sell it as. If you use it heavily; expect it to be a piece of junk as critical components break - and replacing them with more junk won't help.
@@fastfil Of course you can; they've had it for some time prior to western introduction; it is smaller than the similarly poorly constructed Leopard 5. . This isnt a new vehicle; the hybrid version is new but this isn't going to mean they will improve the body and undercarraige. Still the inferior steel is used. One video shows a mechanic bend and break the steel with a wrench. Horrid.
@@litestuffllc7249 Proof is always in the pudding. Not from YT videos of unknown nature posted by just about anyone with an agenda or are to grind with BYD. If you can't get your hands on one to test it, then the next best thing is to check out the reviews done by review channels that are reliable and well known among the auto industry. And having done reviews for many years.
@@fastfil What are you talking about? The very first line in this video is the Shark model shown is in Australia. IT has the Same Name in China. The 6 refers to the new hybrid; the 5 ,4 3 are all in China same base truck various power packages. The Leopard is also in China same company same poor quality steel.
The vehicle might be very good but the presenter be seems to have this inability to realise that they cannot act. They can’t act because they’re a car presenter. They can’t act because they too much much where you have to think of what you’re saying and how to dramatically present itwithout edits because they’re hard for somebody to do and it makes fun. Well I’m more costly production but a slick production I’m just sorry that this vehicle suffers from the lack of production from the presenting journalist and the costuming seems like it’s from Toys “R” Us.

that battery as part of the chassis.. if u have a random small fender bender, that could damage the battery pack. BYD = Bringing You Death
It’s 21st century 😂
it is tucked into the ladder frame, well protected.
BYD CTB chassis is crazy, it's torsional rigidity is on par with rolls Royce phantom. Don't take my word for it, go watch side pole impact test of the BYD seal.
Differnet chemistry. no big deal just an insurance hassle if covered.
Fake, tradie and Ute to match. This a copy of the major brands. Typical of these brands.
seen the Tasman yet?
I'm fine with hybrid, but not plug-in.
Then don't charge it
@@MarsOzzie ...so then why pay for what is essentially a surplus to requirement feature. Straight hybrid is smarter.
@@1969cmp cannot drive for 80km or more in ev mode with a hybrid.
@@TerryHickey-xt4mf I hired a Camry Hybrid for a week in FNQ. Before returning it to the rental the refill was $28. It spent a lot of time in EV mode. Wonderful system.
The looks is terrible
The key fail of BYD's Shark can't be idenfified in a short review - durability. Chinese customers have had this vehicle and found it to be inadequate for any long term heavy use. Search RUclips. The steel used for the undercarraige is poor and incapable of standing heavy use for any significant time. It may be fine if you want a very light use truck for paved roads; but not as a work truck; not as a off road vehicle and that is what BYD often tries to sell it as. If you use it heavily; expect it to be a piece of junk as critical components break - and replacing them with more junk won't help.
you cant buy this in China...
@@fastfil Of course you can; they've had it for some time prior to western introduction; it is smaller than the similarly poorly constructed Leopard 5. . This isnt a new vehicle; the hybrid version is new but this isn't going to mean they will improve the body and undercarraige. Still the inferior steel is used. One video shows a mechanic bend and break the steel with a wrench. Horrid.

Proof is always in the pudding. Not from YT videos of unknown nature posted by just about anyone with an agenda or are to grind with BYD. If you can't get your hands on one to test it, then the next best thing is to check out the reviews done by review channels that are reliable and well known among the auto industry. And having done reviews for many years.
@@litestuffllc7249 Shark has been released in Mexico only. What ute are you referring to?
@@fastfil What are you talking about? The very first line in this video is the Shark model shown is in Australia. IT has the Same Name in China. The 6 refers to the new hybrid; the 5 ,4 3 are all in China same base truck various power packages. The Leopard is also in China same company same poor quality steel.
The vehicle might be very good but the presenter be seems to have this inability to realise that they cannot act. They can’t act because they’re a car presenter. They can’t act because they too much much where you have to think of what you’re saying and how to dramatically present itwithout edits because they’re hard for somebody to do and it makes fun. Well I’m more costly production but a slick production I’m just sorry that this vehicle suffers from the lack of production from the presenting journalist and the costuming seems like it’s from Toys “R” Us.
All i read is see you whine, get to the poin
