Overview

Featuring a 1.5-litre petrol engine and two electric motors, the Shark blends potent performance with real-world efficiency. With a combined range of up to 419 miles, it comfortably accommodates long distance driving, and with a payload capacity of 790kg, it makes light work of heavy loads. Its all-wheel drive system manages power delivery over a variety of terrains, while double-wishbone suspension delivers comfort no matter how rough the surface.

Design

The BYD Shark exudes confidence with its muscular proportions, wide wheel arches and high ground clearance. Taking its styling cues - as well as its name - from the ocean’s most powerful and agile predator, it boasts a sleek profile and streamlined roof, as well as front-end details that imitate a shark’s appearance. Inside is a modern cabin offering generous space and a host of technologies to make every drive seamless.

Class-leading connectivity Stay connected and informed on the road with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 15.6-inch infotainment screen that offer intuitive operation and crystal clarity. A head-up display projects driving information onto the windscreen for safer access to key metrics.
Shark-inspired style Wide set LED headlights mimic the eyes of a shark and are framed by distinctive daytime running lights, while the pick-up’s large grille and lower bumper section take their cues from the animal’s open mouth as it attacks its prey.
Up to the job At 5.5 metres in length with a 1,200-litre load bay, the BYD Shark accommodates everything you need to carry, from construction materials to tools and equipment. A payload of 790kg offers flexibility, while a towing capacity of 2,500kg makes hauling trailers, caravans and horse boxes effortless.
Space for all The BYD Shark provides genuine space for five adult occupants, boasting almost 90cm of legroom as well as excellent head and shoulder room. Comfort is optimised with vegan leather upholstery, and safety features include seven airbags and ISOFIX points on the rear seats for those carrying young children.
