BYD is already here in Brazil too. And they're slowly pushing aside the traditional brands with great prices, a solid dealership network, and quality. It won’t take long before they conquer the Aussie market, and y’all won’t regret it.
US politicians said they have got to hurt Chinese cars and trucks with high tariffs and severe sanctions in order to make it a fair competition for the American car companies to compete with Chinese car companies, but seriously if the competition is fair then the American car companies would go out of business overnight! Nobody wants to pay twice as much for an outdated gas-guzzling American cars and trucks when they could buy a Chinese car or truck at half the price and save themselves hundreds of dollars every month on gas alone not to mention the costs of the cars and trucks themselves and still get a Chinese car or truck with all of the high tech features that American cars and trucks wouldn’t be able to get even 30 years from now! If the American companies have to compete against the Chinese companies fairly in anything they would go out of business in no time at all and that’s a fact! The US government wouldn’t be resorting to banning, sanctioning, and placing 100% - 200% tariff rates on Chinese products if they want to compete with Chinese companies on a level playing field! They put outrageos tariffs and penalties on Chinese companies because their usual 40% - 50% tariff rates on Chinese products are still resulting in Chinese companies kicking the American companies’ a$$es all over the place so that’s why they have to up the ante against Chinese companies with even bigger tariffs on Chinese companies in order to set Chinese companies even further back with even bigger tariffs and even more sanctions! But as usual they do it in a dishonest way by accusing China of playing dirty when in fact they are the ones playing dirty by placing illegal sanctions and tariffs on Chinese companies simply because their own companies can’t compete with Chinese companies in a fair competition!

@@MudaholicJR I think in the BYD DMO platform the engine still is connected to the front wheels so it can help drive the car at higher speeds. Although almost all the time it probably will just act as a generator since the DMO platform feature dual motors front and rear both of which are pretty powerful.
@@rhetth-s8082 yes that is what I mean - meant to say. It directly drives wheels above 70, acts only as required as a generator below 70. Actually that means if your low on battery, you will want a recharging station - not a petrol station. As you can't move without battery. Weird times.
@@yslee1401Friend bought a bag ( school bag or for hiking) on Temu for 20 AUD, the quality of it is far far better than anything at Kmart, BigW for that price. Aus is just being ripped off with so many taxes like GST etc. Nothing manufactured in even your daddy USA is of quality as compare to China.
I think if BYD plays their cards right on marketing, this ute will decimate the Ford/Toyota ute segment. These legacy companies are dragging their feet and Australia deserves better. I would be stoked to see these getting around. If I needed a ute, I would absolutely buy this or the eventual EV only version
@rizaS55 Australia needs them. They use Australian lithium. And iron. So yes this is the most Australian car you can get. They buy 3 billion in lithium every month. America and eu don't buy nothing from you. Just sell you weapons againt you biggest trade partner. Typical sky news watcher

@@rizaS55my company’s robots coming out of our Shenzen factory are superior in quality to same robots manufactured in North America. Get the engineering and quality right and you can get very good quality out of China.
I'm blown away how fast they developed this. The amount of years, money and expertise to develop the Holden Commodore, and BYD develops this fully kitted truck with all the demands of a modern vehicle in no time.
It's not just BYD developed a pickup truck, which they've never built before, but the crazy thing is they are also simultaneously developing a whole bunch of other cars which they've also never built before, such as that luxury electric wagon (Denza Z9) doing donuts behind them, plus recently or soon to be launched models such as a luxury MPV (Denza D9), luxury full size SUV (Yangwang U8), electric hypercar (Yangwant U9), luxury electric executive sedan (Yangwang U7), along with the Shark's sister DMO off road SUVs (FCB Bao 5). And that's not even mentioning all the regular cars BYD was also launching over the past couple of years, such as the Seal, Atto 3, Dolphin, Seagull, Seal Lion etc. And that's still no even mentioning BYD is also doing full redesigns of all their PHEVs too! Including the Qin sedan, Song crossover (Sea Lion 06 in Australia), Han Sedan, etc. Not even VAG and Toyota are developing so many models all at the same times like BYD is.
Search Sandy Munro, who is the gaint expert of auto industry, anything he talk about China auto industry, you will konw China hired a lot experts from US,EU,and Japan.
Great wall motors been over 20yrs, over a decade export to Aus BYD may have absorbed other defunct China car company engineers or recruit other engineers including own, also contract out for oversea engineers They want to be successful
@@marcc.490 your wife will be cursing when she is spotted in a low class PRC branded vehicle when her friends are all in German and Japanese SUVs. It’s a reputation kamikaze if that is what you are looking for
@yslee1401 feel pity for you, work so hard to exchange your soul for a drop of $1.6bn funds. Do u feel happy for such life? Btw, have u ever driven any of these vehicles?
BYD is a revolutionary idea, design and technology in automotive world!!! Nothing compares!!! Byd will dominate the world!!! Batteries cannot be compared.
Thanks fellas good review. I’ve always been bothered by why old auto brands keep screwing tradie/lifestyle customers with rip off, low tech, low comfort ute offerings. Like obviously their pax models are better quality, why wouldn’t cashed up tradies & small biz owners not expect the same or better for the money? This shark ticks just about every box for me except: Passthough rear tub, and 180degree power up and down tailgate. These functional features would’ve knocked the comp for 6. (Easier loading in tight garages and car parks, ability to securely carry long materials and long sports equipment)
Being Lack of competition makes a brand lazy. There are more brand in the China market than any other market. Ford, GM, VW, Toyota...you name it. A brand will evaluate as quick as possible to survival.
This have potential to be an amazing low effort offroader. It's got +230mm ground clearance an front/rear smart diffs. No need to worry about dual battery setups etc. you just ran everything from the socket at the back. I'll wait 3 years to see how's the reliability an I'm a buyer.
@@remix-yy1hs I don't really think 2.5t tow limit is an issue. If someone is a gray nomad towing 3.5t caravan, he'll want to buy old Patrol or LC anyway. This car seem to be oriented more towards making weekend offroading more accesible to casual ppl. But that's just my opinion.
@@remix-yy1hs The ranger Raptor is 2.5t towing. Look around at how many of those are on the road. Too many people automaticly gauge a vehicles ability based on a dumb number put in place by manufactures having pissing competitions. 2.5t vehicle towing 3.5t? There's this thing called Physics.
The real 4x4 track performance is very ordinary in the real world.. Maximum hill climb angle is 30%. Maximum! Very bloody ordinary and it doesn't have a low range. It's basically traction control. All this adds up to a very soft roader ute. Ok for most people who shake at the bottom of a big hill. Be interesting to drive it down really steep hills. This shouting reviewer is actually a sales schill for the car. Would rather he told potential customers the factual limits or inexperienced people are going to get in a world of hurt on tracks.
Chinese man-made cars have unlimited imagination. If BYD launches this pickup truck, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Ford/Toyota pickup truck market.
Hilarious to think the Ranger is regarded as the standard for driving quality… I’ve been unfortunate enough to have to drive one recently and have hated every second of it. That being said, all current utes are pretty awful to drive anyway.
We have Hilux, Triton, and Ranges at work... The Rangers are leagues in front of the others. Everyone is trying to get a Ranger. I think that says something
We rented one for two days, it was the worst riding and driving vehicle I’ve driven in recent memory. Had a friend who was going to buy one. After test driving one he bought a Nissan frontier pro4x
I have driven a 2023 everest 2.0 and 2023 ranger 3.0 long term - they are awful. The engines sound like they're powering a wind tunnel, the gearbox clumsily hunts for gears, and the body roll is awful. My 2009 x5 30d is just inanely more refined. Hilux drives way nicer than ranger / everest. I honestly don't understand why the Fords are popular.
Hey! Love the channel. Could you guys do videos of your travels as vlogs as well. Would love to hear your reviews of airlines, hotels and behind the scenes at shows and auto events!
Wow, I really really love the concept of a Ute that you could do all of your running around town just on the battery, then an engine for big trips and hauling … the battery is even big enough that if you forget to plug it in one night you will still be ok. EDIT: I guess that it should be noted that if this vehicle is used as a workhorse, loaded and towing on the highway, once that battery is empty, you only have a little 1.5lt 135kw 260Nw engine … that admittedly could be an issue! But gee, unladen it’s incredibly heavy! 0-100 is incredible, but most people do not have the skill set for that, 7 seconds in a Ute would be more than enough. Plus a turbo Diesel would be safer on touring trips where you need to transfer fuel … but I understand the petrol works better as a fast start up generator etc. Yep, well done China and BYD, you are making Toyota and Ford look like they have been exploiting customers with low level products.
If you want a BYD in Canada, you'll need to elect a gov't that (i) isn't as paranoid protectionist as USA; (ii) will intelligently negotiate a BYD assembly plant in Canada and waive the 100% tariff for made-in-Canada BYD vehicles.
@@zsedcify because PRC government blackmailed 2 Canadians after arrest was made on Meng WanZhou who was caught with iPhone, iPad & MacBook without a single Huawei device on sight
Some nice features there - Power from two motors is great - PHEV efficiency - 240v power ports for fridges and other gear for camping! - Ride and coils Downsides - 2.5t load - Need an electric remote control cover for secure transportation of tools and stuff - the steps at the back like the ranger would really be helpful when accessing back tray - For lighter longer loads you could do similar to what Ford has done with its movable tailplane and remote control cover - For heavier longer loads you really need some sort of system that will allow both the roof and the base of the tray to support the weight. eg: Carrying a ladder or a large sheet of plywood. eg: A couple of pots in the rear on each side you can drop a frame into, and lock the frame in with screws. With roof racks they could support longer and heavier materials. (There are existing ladder racks around ATM, but they sit on top of the tray and as a consequence wont hold a lot of weight). Observations - Current Amaroks days are numbered - Ranger will be challenged, for the more RV and not trade use. - Tasman will have immediate competition. - Other Utes will have to step up quickly or become like the dinsosaurs - that means Toyota ...
Love watching your vids . Not in the market for anything atm so just watch for entertainment and keeping up to speed with where vehicles are going . Great work boys 👍👍
I took a couple of Alpha's for a drive recently. Definitely would go the hybrid as it had excellent performance, but I found with both the hybrid and diesel model that the suspension sucked. It is why I was interested to hear that BYD and Kia have been tuning their new Utes for Australian roads. GWM really need to do the same.
@@remix-yy1hs because BYD sales in PRC domestic market has tanked due to perception concerns of low technology, poor built quality, ancient technology, inability to obtain NVidia chipsets and in general requiring injection of some 🇯🇵 Japanese DNA for Chinese domestic market.
Interestingly, latest patents show that BYD is trying to introduce that model (the dmi) into mini/a0 cars. They've done in-depth research to integrate battery and all pipelines into the chasis. My guess is vans don't sell in China at all, if they cannot get into US market it won't be cost efficient
I’ve had one for 6 months it’s the best truck I’ve ever had 😊 drives amazing on the road and performs well off-road. It’s great if you drive electric, the engine is too small after the battery is discharged. The comfort is another level in terms of comfort I can only imagine a rivian being better.
in EU most multistore parking entry bars in my country are limiting vehicles at 1.85m height, therefore this truck won't enter these spaces but Wildtrak will.
Having 30KWH of energy with over 8KW of power, and an on board generator with a 60 litre fuel tank, makes the utility of this vehicle next level. You could power your essentials in a black out for days or even weeks. Very cool! I wonder if it does higher than 10 amp v2l via the charge port so you could power your whole house.
@@witness4297 In Australia, power outages occur mainly due to events like natural disasters such as flooding and cyclones/hurricane's. However, something as simple as a vehicle crash into a transformer can result in power outages.
Look awesome.... I can 3 of them, as that about the average price for a ute these days in Australia. But seriously I will be definitely getting one. Well done BYD..
I agree its proper ... I was about to order the new Mitsubishi Triton, but I will not be doing that anymore.... I will wait for the first generation Bring You Own Donkey (BYD) Shark6 or 7 with proper tires (not those tomatoes)
Good luck to the KIA Tasman. Talk about hype. Their ute has been so long coming that when it lands, it's going to seem like a Flintstones car compared to BYD's Shark. This will be the vehicle that takes BYD from that weird Chinese electric car company with "Build Your Dreams" written on it's boot to genuine mainstream car brand in Australia.
some people who are like the rugged individuals might hate on them and i know they take up a large part of the ute market but it could be used families
The car should be astonishing. I really hope that BYD back up the product with good after sales support. At the moment, I hear it is hit or miss in Aus. Otherwise the car should be a game changer.
The main constraint lies within its cooling capabilities, because a series hybrid where the engine is churning out Amps and has at least two or three electric motors and motor controllers they all need cooling.
@@toyotaprius79 The constrain is not the issue, 3.5t is just too much for any mid size ute to tow IMO, if you want to tow heavy weights like this regularly you should really be stepping up to something like a RAM etc as these are designed to safely tow big loads.
@@tomskellern6128 If they did 3 ton, then people would be saying they should have done 3.1 ton, then 3.2 ton, then 3.3 ton, then 3.4 ton, 2.5 ton is a sensible amount for Utes of this size, if you are towing more than that commonly you should really be looking at a larger vehicle, these small utes can easily get into trouble with 3.5 ton of weight behind them, they just don''t have enough mass in the vehicle to handle 3.5 ton of weight behind them in an emergency.
Interesting fact: on parallel hybrid mode, the engine connects to the front wheels only, making this another of a very few cars with longitudinal fwd drivetrain.
The Ranger won't compete with this, it only has a 11kw battery for rubbish EV range and it will cost a lot more, I think the BYD will sell a lot to weekend warriors / families, the BYD has a really nice interior, I don't think tradies will buy this as it doesn't have the payload capacity but lets wait and see, whichever way it will be cheaper than Ranger or Hilux so I think the general public will take to it like crazy, Ford has done themselves a dis-service by taking so long to bring out the PHEV Ranger, and Toyota Forget it back in the stone age
My only gripe about the BYD is that it's a sure series hybrid where the engine has zero connection to the wheels, this does mean higher energy losses and fuel consumption at high speeds and loads. However the Ford Ranger is a simple deadass parallel hybrids with one electric motor bolted through the transmission which is subject an even bigger loss of energy from the battery and less flexibility than a two motor hybrid - but the engine's mechanic connection through the road and inate inefficiency gains it a benefit at high speeds and loads.
@@toyotaprius79 I saw in a different video that there is a essentially a battery bypass gear letting the engine run the wheels directly when it's at high RPM ❤
@@-PORK-CHOP- BYD PHEV created new concerns in China and surely will happen in other place, people worry about gasline's shelf life since they always use the battery first and have few chance to use gasoline, specially for people use to like fill up full tank of gasoline, some people now try to fill only 15 litres every time.
@@xguillaume3134 What rubbish, there are millions of vehicles on the road that have gas lines in them perfectly fine and the vehicles are over 30 - 40 years old, why would it be any different in this vehicle, people worry about the most irrelevant things, and make up rubbish concerns for no reason, sounds like a load of bull if you ask me.
That screen is way bigger than mexico version... Black roof much nicer that beige one in latam.... LFP 12v battery a nice upgrade Aus version does not have the rear door steps...
@@mattyoz0 lol what are talking about. Not everyone thinks like you. My gwm Cannon did 150k in 4 years not a single thing wrong with it. And it's on the road like everywhere. Half the price for a better ride than most utes. Do a little research instead of judging base on emotions.
Just wish they would make a single cab, tray version of this :( No one does a decent spec in that configuration in Australia. Only option is the poverty pack configuration.
Dam it actually seems to be a really good Ute and looks awesome, I do think it’s funny tho because it’s in a class targeted at people who buy 4wd’s to do 99% of driving on the road and the people who hate that are in love with it because it’s electric 😅
EV Direct have already come out and said the Shark will be closer to $60k than the $68k that was leaked a few weeks ago. Couple of bits missing from the Mexico version, tailgate step, dual phone charger and rear sailplane on tub. AU version has an added grab handle though. Be interesting to see if a canopy is available any time soon.
@@yslee1401 Seriously dude STFU. Seen nothing but grumbles about the same thing 20 times - if you don't like it, go your own way. You're not gaining any fans here.
Take a hint, GM. I'd love to be able to buy an electric or series hybrid, AWD, fully independent suspension pickup truck in the USA. 2 doors with a 3 person seat that would fit into my small garage would be awesome! A solar bed cover would be a nice option, too. Call it an El Camino for a nastalgic boost and sign me up for one!

It's not just BYD developed a pickup truck, which they've never built before, but the crazy thing is they are also simultaneously developing a whole bunch of other cars which they've also never built before, such as that luxury electric wagon (Denza Z9) doing donuts behind them, plus recently or soon to be launched models such as a luxury MPV (Denza D9), luxury full size SUV (Yangwang U8), electric hypercar (Yangwant U9), luxury electric executive sedan (Yangwang U7), along with the Shark's sister DMO off road SUVs (FCB Bao 5).
And that's not even mentioning all the regular cars BYD was also launching over the past couple of years, such as the Seal, Atto 3, Dolphin, Seagull, Seal Lion etc.
And that's still no even mentioning BYD is also doing full redesigns of all their PHEVs too! Including the Qin sedan, Song crossover (Sea Lion 06 in Australia), Han Sedan, etc.

@4stevenies Well if you think a Ranger Waa bad, wait till you drive a Hilux or Triton
I have driven a 2023 everest 2.0 and 2023 ranger 3.0 long term - they are awful. The engines sound like they're powering a wind tunnel, the gearbox clumsily hunts for gears, and the body roll is awful. My 2009 x5 30d is just inanely more refined. Hilux drives way nicer than ranger / everest. I honestly don't understand why the Fords are popular.

Such a cool truck. That interior is phenomenal- Steering wheel should win an award.
Wow, I really really love the concept of a Ute that you could do all of your running around town just on the battery, then an engine for big trips and hauling … the battery is even big enough that if you forget to plug it in one night you will still be ok.
EDIT:
I guess that it should be noted that if this vehicle is used as a workhorse, loaded and towing on the highway, once that battery is empty, you only have a little 1.5lt 135kw 260Nw engine … that admittedly could be an issue!
But gee, unladen it’s incredibly heavy! 0-100 is incredible, but most people do not have the skill set for that, 7 seconds in a Ute would be more than enough. Plus a turbo Diesel would be safer on touring trips where you need to transfer fuel … but I understand the petrol works better as a fast start up generator etc.
Yep, well done China and BYD, you are making Toyota and Ford look like they have been exploiting customers with low level products.

Some nice features there
- Power from two motors is great
- PHEV efficiency
- 240v power ports for fridges and other gear for camping!
- Ride and coils
Downsides
- 2.5t load
- Need an electric remote control cover for secure transportation of tools and stuff
- the steps at the back like the ranger would really be helpful when accessing back tray
- For lighter longer loads you could do similar to what Ford has done with its movable tailplane and remote control cover
- For heavier longer loads you really need some sort of system that will allow both the roof and the base of the tray to support the weight. eg: Carrying a ladder or a large sheet of plywood. eg: A couple of pots in the rear on each side you can drop a frame into, and lock the frame in with screws. With roof racks they could support longer and heavier materials. (There are existing ladder racks around ATM, but they sit on top of the tray and as a consequence wont hold a lot of weight).
Observations
- Current Amaroks days are numbered
- Ranger will be challenged, for the more RV and not trade use.
- Tasman will have immediate competition.
- Other Utes will have to step up quickly or become like the dinsosaurs - that means Toyota ...

If you Australian you should love it. This car uses alot from Australia from Iron to lithium. The more they sell the more money you/Australia make.

2.5t is more than enough for a ute of this size. 3.5t is too much for these smaller utes
The main constraint lies within its cooling capabilities, because a series hybrid where the engine is churning out Amps and has at least two or three electric motors and motor controllers they all need cooling.
@@toyotaprius79 The constrain is not the issue, 3.5t is just too much for any mid size ute to tow IMO, if you want to tow heavy weights like this regularly you should really be stepping up to something like a RAM etc as these are designed to safely tow big loads.

Interesting fact: on parallel hybrid mode, the engine connects to the front wheels only, making this another of a very few cars with longitudinal fwd drivetrain.
The Ranger won't compete with this, it only has a 11kw battery for rubbish EV range and it will cost a lot more, I think the BYD will sell a lot to weekend warriors / families, the BYD has a really nice interior, I don't think tradies will buy this as it doesn't have the payload capacity but lets wait and see, whichever way it will be cheaper than Ranger or Hilux so I think the general public will take to it like crazy, Ford has done themselves a dis-service by taking so long to bring out the PHEV Ranger, and Toyota Forget it back in the stone age
My only gripe about the BYD is that it's a sure series hybrid where the engine has zero connection to the wheels, this does mean higher energy losses and fuel consumption at high speeds and loads.
However the Ford Ranger is a simple deadass parallel hybrids with one electric motor bolted through the transmission which is subject an even bigger loss of energy from the battery and less flexibility than a two motor hybrid - but the engine's mechanic connection through the road and inate inefficiency gains it a benefit at high speeds and loads.
