Update in the paper today re BYD,,
In the animal kingdom of utes, the BYD Shark is emerging as a real contender alongside the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux.
After test driving the Shark, it’s clear that this vehicle is in the same league in terms of power and capability as Ford’s range-topping the Raptor, but what sets it apart is its price.
Expected to have a near-unbeatable price under $60,000 plus on-road costs, the Shark has already amassed more than 10,000 expressions of interest ahead of its Australian launch on October 29.
The Shark is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors producing a combined 320kW.
It has approximately 800km of range and tows 2500kg – a tonne less than dual-cab leaders, which might be a sticking point for some buyers.
Will be interesting to see how this sells
