BYD Unveils the Shark: A Hybrid Pickup Truck in Cambodia, Just Next Door to Vietnam
BYD Shark, or the BYD Shark 6, is the company’s first-ever pickup truck, built on BYD’s DMO platform – an ultra-hybrid terrain platform.
With overall dimensions of 5,457 mm in length, 1,971 mm in width, and 1,925 mm in height, the Shark is slightly larger than the Toyota Hilux, with a wheelbase that’s 175 mm longer.
The BYD Shark boasts a design reminiscent of the Ford F-150 Lightning and Ford Ranger. Its front end features impressive LED headlights in the shape of a “C,” connected by a large grille and centered with a bold BYD logo.
The flanks of the truck have a muscular appeal, with wheel arches, large mirrors, and wide door sills. The rear end is simpler, with taillights and a central LED strip. A black stripe on the C-pillar, connecting to the side windows, adds a touch of sportiness to the design.
In select markets, the BYD Shark features a massive 15.6-inch touchscreen display in the center, capable of rotating vertically, similar to other BYD models.
The interior also showcases a flat-bottom steering wheel, a central control cluster with a gear shifter, large handles and adjustment knobs, and two wireless charging pads. Orange accents can be found throughout the cabin.
Powering the BYD Shark is a hybrid system, combining a 1.5L gasoline engine with two electric motors, delivering an impressive 320 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque.
The vehicle is equipped with BYD’s Lithium phosphate Blade batteries, offering an all-electric range of about 100 km on a single charge. With a full tank of fuel and a fully charged battery, the Shark can travel up to 840 km.
In Cambodia, the BYD Shark is priced at approximately 56,700 USD (1.43 billion VND). Given BYD’s expansion plans, we can expect to see the Shark introduced in Vietnam in the future.
