Why are the paint options $1250 in nz? They are only $750 in aus! I can almost understand the Ute being more expensive in nz (longer shipping distances, lower volume, different tax schemes etc), almost understand but there is still a substantial price difference. But there is no way it should be that much more expensive to choose a paint colour. It’s not costing them more to ship those paint options to nz. Is it just another example of the land of the long rip off?
i have bought one and am waiting delivery in Australia . as FAR AS I KNOW . NO ONE HAS COMMENTED ON SOUND SYSTEM QUALITY ? any opinion on the sound . and radio quality also ??
I don’t think it has enough buttons 😂 I still want one but why have the massive techy screen and then duplicate everything with a physical switch. Less is more!
If this ute was $5 cheaper than a Ford or Toyota Australians would buy it in the millions because that gives them another $5 to spend on drugs or alcohol in Bali.
like idea of this dual cab ,,,, HERE IS THE BUT ! BYD the company has a really bad build record and that is a fact ! you don't have to be a rocket scientist to get the info , just go look around the net , so i will wait a couple of years to see how it pans out , i would strongly suggest you all do the same !
Anything which is a derivative vehicle other than trucks and has a tub or open tray on the back has been called a Ute, short for utility vehicle, for a few decades. Remember the Brumby, Ford Anglia Ute, Austin Cambridge and the Commer. No doubt they started as sedan/wagon 2 wheel drive derivative vehicles but the Hilux came to Australia in 1968 and was called a Ute. That’s 57 years ago.
What do you think about the BYD Shark 6?
The ute has some amazing features, other manufacturers should take note. Nice review Adrian
BYD's battery technology is top-notch.
I have bought one and am very keen for it to be delivered to Australia

It sounded fine when I listened to the radio. I didn’t crank it right up though. Specs say it has Dynaudio. 12 speakers.
Both Apple CarPlay & Android Auto are wireless
are there any interior ambient lighting?
Hi. I don’t remember anything special in the way of ambient lighting.

BYD shark did not perform well on an outback trip where they could not plug in,14-16lph
This is not a review, it's a showcase. Complete waste of time.
total heap of shite

Absolute bullshit.
Give us a link to justify your facts
BYD are as reliable if not more so than Ford
Calling BS on that. They sell like hot cakes because of their build quality near 4 million made so far. Nearly outselling teslas
it is NOT a UTE
Utes have not been made since Holden and Ford stopped making Falcon and Commadores
That's how the "ute" name started in Australia and NZ, but it's been used to describe "pickups" for decades ever since.
