No Ute, Truck or Bakkie will EVER be safe again - the BYD Shark is here, and it's looking like it will KILL everything else...
The BYD Shark is a Chinese truck from the MASSIVE china-based manufacturer BYD - or Build Your Dreams. It has launched in Mexico, and will next launch in Australia where it is set to take on some incredibly tough competition, like the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50, Mitsubishi Triton, Volkswagen Amarok, SsangYong Musso, Kia Tasman and so many others.
Coming with a Plug-In Hybrid DMI powertrain, the BYD Shark is likely to come in significantly cheaper than competition too - meaning that every other major manufacturer is going to be scrambling.
Considering the success of the BYD Atto 3, Seal, Dolphin and Sealion 6 in Australia - if I was Ford, Toyota, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and every other brand... I'd be worried for sure!

Even as recently as 2020, BYD was still producing a good number of petrol cars, and had been selling 400,000 to 500,000 cars every year for close to a decade. But by 2021, BYD was well on its way to only produce and sell BEVs and PHEVs, and sales started to almost double every year, to over 800,000 in 2021, 1.8 million in 2022, and just over 3 million in 2023. They are projected to continue to add around 1 million sales annually for the next couple of years, which means BYD will have grown its annual sales from 400,000 in 2020 to SIX MILLION in 2026. No car company in history has been able to grow so fast so quickly as BYD has done in these past 4 or so years, and it truly is mind boggling how they've been able to achieve this.

BYD would bankrupt Ford, now you know why USA decided to slap 100% tariffs on Chinese cars. There is no competition between Chinese EVs and American cars, even Americans don't want to buy Fords and GMs, they are mainly forced too because there is so little alternatives.

@Ray-iz7tv Месяц назад

Truth.

@nfzeta128 Месяц назад

Thing about it is that US is caving to those local car manufacturers too much. They could have easily tuned that tariff so that the Chinese EVs end up just a bit cheaper than the competition thereby forcing said competition to lower prices. This way customers get more variety for less money and the US should still keep their car manufacturing industry.

@metalvideos1961 Месяц назад

BYD will achieve global success. I spent 110,000 RMB (15,000 USD) in China to buy a 4.7-meter-long Hybrid SUV (BYD Song) that can drive 100 kilometers on electric power. When the electricity runs out, it switches to gasoline, with a fuel consumption of only 5 liters per 100 kilometers. This is incredible and a very economical choice for ordinary families.

Traded a G20 330i for a Seal Performance and haven’t looked back. More power than an M3, yet half the cost. And nearly 10k kms and not a rattle or squeak. Nor any issues other than their subpar customer service, but hoping that will get better. Rides great. Great range. Quiet. Quick. And a huge rear seat. Usually a brand snob but the Seal Perf was worth the loss of a badge. If this is BYD in 2024, wait to see where they will be in 2030. Beyond the tech of the Germans, Japanese or Americans. Really amazed by Jaws as we call him. Will be ordering a Shark when they become available and a Sealion 7, if it makes it here. A much better looking SUV than the 6 and full BEV with mirrored powertrains to the Seal. If the Yangwang U8 comes, will def order that as well as thinking hard about the U9. Yeah, hook, line and sinker here. But genuinely impressed with them.

It is the inability to compete with local carmakers, led by BYD, that has forced Mitsubishi and Isuzu to pull out of the world's largest car market (more than a third of global car sales are in China). In addition, due to the rapid decline in sales from 8% to 1%, South Korean automakers have also sold most of their production lines in China to Chinese automakers, and it is estimated that they will soon withdraw from the Chinese market.

I was looking at getting the Atto 3 in the first half of this year but then Tesla dropped nearly 10k on the RWD Model Y, so I got that instead. Couldn't be happier with the Tesla but I would definitely check out the Shark this time next year.

I have been hanging out for the release of the Rivian R1T in Australia, which feels like it will never happen. I am already a fan of some of BYDs cars and if they release an all-EV version of the Shark before Rivian is here I would consider buying one.

@injinerconev Месяц назад

This powertrain makes way more sense for a pickup/ute tbh. Going camping or doing some power tools work, using the v2l and then you can still have the range to get there and back. I think with a Rivian being full EV you'd never feel comfortable enough to do this for fear of being stuck with no juice. BYD were smart to give this a pretty sizeable battery for a hybrid.

@the_amazing_adventures_of_andy Месяц назад

@@injinerconevYou do have a point. However, I have been a member of a Rivian owners Facebook group for a couple of years now and the overwhelming opinions of those owners are extremely positive and contradict a lot of the nay-sayers. Quite a few of those Rivian owners do offroading and also tow boats and caravans. Rivian or an equivalent will be very suited to Australia and it's conditions judging by owners reports from the US.

@bluezoidberg7124 Месяц назад

This car honestly looks fantastic. I would however like to see a long range, long term test 4wdriving it in Australia, to kind of put to rest potential quality concerns. Proving itself to be better than a Ford Ranger shouldn't be the base mark, unless its only about price mark and vehicle sales, but not in terms of quality. Very few people swear by a Ranger for actual 4wdriving and overloading. If it's quality it need to prove itself as durable as the Isuzu d max or hilux. If that's the case, then I'm in. Hybrid tech is definitely the way to go as well for long ranges and overlanding, looking forward to seeing more of this

Got my dad to look at this car when it comes out. I think he will be pleasantly surprised based on the spec alone.

@MichaelCoates Месяц назад

Honestly I reckon the real elephant in the room is the Aus press carrying on about a towing capacity most buyers won't actually use. So a request. When you can, I'd love to see this tow a 2 ton trailer & get some fuel / perf stats when you do. That's plenty for a 17-19' single axle van & a sensible amount of weight behind any ute. Let's see it actually do it & I'm all in. Seriously waiting for this to be released. With the novated lease incentives for PHEV until EOFY this has got to have a lot of people interested

I think it's good for us, the UTE market has become so expensive over the last few years it's become ridiculous, especially Toyota, bring it on BYD and to a lesser degree KIA, the BYD is making the KIA already look old before it gets here if they offer a old school under powered 4cyl diesel.

@Audios81 Месяц назад

Seal Perf is our first EV and I’ll say I’d never, ever allow any vehicle I own to be a vehicle to grid help. They charge enough for electricity, they should have upgraded the grid many times over. Hence why I won’t have solar and “sell” back energy to them. I’m still a petrol head and have many petrol guzzling vehicles and will always have them. The Seal is just a fun, comfortable, fast little too for peanuts.

You’re spot on with the “perceived” reliability. I know people that have paid top dollar for a hilux over a dmax or a triton. I’ll be watching this space

@ekinteko 23 дня назад

Time will tell. The climate of Australia is the harshest test for vehicles; hot, wet, salty, windy, dusty, dry, cold snaps. You can really tell which vehicles are good quality based on what ends up staying on the road. For example; the old generation Ford Ranger was designed in Australia by Aussies, and built international. It has been unimpressive except for reliable. The new generation has already issues. It was designed in USA with similar international manufacturing. The old D-Max was heavily criticised for being unrefined and "too truck-like" but has topped the list for reliability. Meanwhile the Toyota Hilux has been okay, it has only stayed competitive due to excess parts availability and their vast support network. Same things apply for other vehicle categories. Especially Euro variants which make changes for the sake of changes, and add unnecessary complexity. The simpler a product, thr more reliable it is, and easier to keep it alive.

Is it feasible to upgrade the Shark to full BEV or Fuel Cell, or anything else the future brings. Though PHEV suit my present needs, a petrol motor may be awful in a few years.

Does the motor have a direct connection to the wheels like a chev volt, or is it just a motor generator, and all the power is from the electric motors?

@alastairc.5219 Месяц назад

Competition is key and having more features in the BYD hopefully makes other manufacturers take note. The reality is this product will suit many city buyers, however with independent rear suspension and a dismal tow rating, many ute buyers wont give it a second look. BYD have also missed the mark with payload for commercial buyers, where the magical 1T payload makes for an easy purchase decision. Time will tell re reliability, however perhaps the equally detrimental issue of depreciation still plagues chinese brands and EVs alike.

@Expedition_Tranquilo Месяц назад

Expect Ford has been revising their Ranger PHEV planning since the Shark dropped, as by all accounts - apart from towing - the Shark is superior is all aspects. It’s unbelievable that it beats the Raptor on many levels. Looking forward to off-road tests and how it stacks up on reliability.

@phelansa23 25 дней назад
