The BYD Shark 6 arrives on the South African market with a bold proposition: combining the ruggedness of a true pick-up with the efficiency of a next-generation hybrid powertrain. At the heart of this innovative approach lies a high-performance 1.5-litre turbo engine, paired with BYD Blade battery technology. With a braked towing capacity of 2,500 kg, it caters equally to demanding professionals and weekend adventurers. The double wishbone front and rear suspension ensures an excellent balance between on-road comfort and off-road robustness, while the dedicated Mud, Sand and Snow driving modes showcase its versatility. The array of driver assistance features provides reassurance during challenging passages: Hill Hold Control, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Hill Descent Control and Auto-Hold function transform off-road challenges into controlled drives. Inside, the Shark 6 impresses with its equipment level. The 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen (on the Premium version) interfaces with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, creating a decidedly modern cockpit. The V2L functionality and portable charging cable complete a generous specification that positions the BYD Shark 6 as a credible alternative to traditional combustion-engine pick-ups on the South African market.
