The BYD Shark 6 holds the distinction of being Australia’s first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) ute, and it has proved to be a popular vehicle.

Orders for the Shark 6 opened in October 2024, when pricing was also announced at $57,900 before on-roads for the sole Premium grade. First customer deliveries began a few months after orders opened.

BYD hasn’t announced any changes to the Shark 6 since then.

It beat the Ford Ranger PHEV and GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV to market, and is competitively priced against both. The Ranger PHEV is set to open at a substantial $71,990 before on-roads, and the Cannon Alpha PHEV has a starting price of $61,490 drive-away.

JAC is also set to join the fray with a PHEV ute of its own, taking the form of the Hunter PHEV based on the diesel T9. That won’t arrive until early 2026.

The BYD Shark 6 is powered by a small-displacement 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which is mated with a BYD Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and dual electric motors.

Crucially, the Shark 6 lacks off-road equipment like differential locks and low-range gearing – one or both of which will be seen on its rivals.

Despite that, the CEO of BYD’s local distributor EVDirect, David Smitherman, told CarExpert in 2024 that the Shark 6 was the brand’s most important local vehicle launch to date.

The company is also aiming for it to be BYD’s top-selling vehicle in 2025, a target it’s already hitting. BYD has shifted 6129 Sharks so far this year, well ahead of the next-closest Sealion 6 PHEV at 2358.

Beyond the Shark 6, there are talks of additional BYD ute models in the works.

Potential variations include an all-electric version that could be called the Shark 7, a ute with more performance to rival the Ford Ranger Raptor, and a larger ute with a higher braked towing capacity.

Pricing

As mentioned, the BYD Shark 6 is priced at $57,900 before on-roads. When on-road costs are applied, it undercuts the Ford Ranger PHEV by some $10,000 depending on the state or territory, and is on par with the Cannon Alpha PHEV.
