I think there is another huge potential advantage that no one has mentioned. When you use BYD Shark to tow a motorhome, the Shark's own battery can provide sufficient power for the motorhome's kitchen utensils, air conditioning, etc. When using other utes, you have to provide your own power supply and even have to endure the noise when generating electricity.
Yeah right, it only tows 2.5t try find a decent motor home that weighs less. This is gonna be one of those products that people are going to regret buying, especially the first few models, they will not live up to the initial hype.
@@danejames7098 most Australians would.t tow more than 2,5t...it's made for the mass market ,,and does everything required and probably would only spend 10 percent of it'd time towing .and it's cheaper than the competition with far more extra's .and is more powerful in a lot of cases ..it blows the ranger away in Excelleration ..
@@danejames7098 initial hype? .. if it does nothing else it has proved it can out-muscle a Ford Raptor in a drag race and can outbrake it as well .. at just over half the price of the Ford .. so it beat the Raptor at its main appeal and selling point.

I dont care for utes and offroading, I'm a typical city slicker. I just love how the Shark will attract the hate my Teslas currently cop from Ute drivers. As it will leave every Raptor crying at the lights.
Maybe some of us are old school but we were taught never to tow more weight than the vehicle mass .. it becomes a recipe for trouble, and given the driving habits and specifically impatience of Australian drivers, downright dangerous.

@@yslee1401 if never plugged I imagine the engine will cycle in and out to recharge the battery.

service costs, service intervals and spare parts can make a difference is your a serious off roader, other than that, I'd buy one just because it's got 3 power sockets
It would want to be at 3 times the cost, Denali is $107,000 US, if this was available there it would be $ 35,500, anyway makes no difference as the US won't get this vehicle, so happy spending your hard earned on your Denali.
Only issue for me not buy this as a person staying in the more rural districts of Aus... is were do I service this? My town only have ford and toyota branches
My guy, if you watched the video or read you can see it's 2.5t max towing, so "no" it cannot. This will find lots of "friends" in trades given they can charge their battery tools (or run them) straight from the vehicle on a job site. Horses (pun intended) for courses.
I seriously don't get why auto reviewers don't have enough understanding of the difference between a live rear axle and IRS, and its impact on payload and towing capacity. The BYD Shark is IRS, the SAME as a Ford Raptor and guess what, it has the same towing capacity as a Ford Raptor, but get this, it actually had a greater payload weight 790kg than the 717kg the raptor has. BTW Honda Ridgeline 718 payload, 2268 Towing.... Anywhoo entertaining summarisation of the Shark.
If your referring to the car expert failure that was a pre production model. Someone else has done the same hill on the production version and it passed with flying colours.
I'd genuinely like to see a real-world tow test with one of these. Like, hook up a 2ish tonne load and head up the Alpine Way in the NSW Snowy Mountains. How long will the battery last in that sort of sustained steep uphill climb (in Hybrid mode of course)? Can the petrol motor keep on top of the energy consumption required, and if it depletes the battery completely can the 1.5L motor reasonably handle the load? Can the battery and hybrid system handle the heat this will generate? The dynamic braking should be a huge advantage in this situation, but I'm otherwise suspicious on it's capability to handle a sustained load. I'd also be quite happy be proven wrong. @BYD - want to loan me one and I'll run this exact test for you? If it passes you might have a convert.
The max range on paper was mostly 500kms 3 years ago for many EVs. And this year max range reach 1000kms. It is 500kms increase in three years, or doubled in three years. What would happen in next three years? anther 500kms up to 1500kms? or...double again into 2000kms? What would happen in ten years?
I want to see a review where say a family of 4 go offgrid camping in a fully loaded and towing to spec Shark6 (GVM and GCM). Then tell us how it went including handling, driving experience, fuel consumption and range. Not this theoretical BS 100KM EV and total 800km range and scripted light weight driver only review.
I learnt to drive in a Falcon XB coupe with the proud Geelong V8, could chew up any Escort or Cortina or whatever, but that's all in the past and we simply don't live there no more. Suffice to say I'll take the BYD in a blink, sorry mate.
@@Voxabonable I was not into V8s back in the day hence my Escort. My comment has nothing to do with whether I would prefer a car from the 70s or the Shark, I quite like the Shark but I won't stand for reviews which test a vehicle within an environment which isn't up to par. The tactic is pathetic
@@gowengetter4599 what are you benchmarking it against? How many dual cab Utes will do 400,000km without either a gearbox or set of injectors or a broken piston? What will Toyotas 48v system look like at 400,000km, will it still be functioning assuming it hasn’t failed already from driving through a small puddle
Should add a quick review of the quality of the sound system. Almost always ignored by all reviewers (not just this channel), so I assume it isn't good.
It’s not terrible - tweak the settings a bit and it sounds nice. Some people complain it isn’t loud enough but listening to music isn’t always about making your ears bleed. I’d rather have crisp clear sound than loud distorted bullshit. Anyway it went as loud as I wanted it to go and still had some left - I usually upgrade all of my sound systems with premium gear but I don’t think I will worry about it for now.
Dynaudiois a well respected name in loudspeakers , the system in the Shark has a very clean detailed "Hi Fi " type sound. The time alignment and other adjustments are great. I like it .

@@yslee1401 Hilux's depreciated by around 15-20% in the first year so really for an unknown 25% depreciation isn't too bad... question is, how do you know the depreciation of a BYD Shark 6 when they haven't even been out for a year yet?
4wd amateur review man is going through mud and shows the available modes one being mud but he decides to put it in Mountain mode, the old man conducting the road part of the review is not much smarter...its interesting how the acclaimed 0-100 kph is 5.9 sec but the reviewers got 5.7 sec an amazingly impressive time, so this 60K BYD Shark will blow off the top of the range Ford Raptor double its price! But the review man says nothing about it. WTF? This is the fastest time any 4wd ute has achieved and its an exciting opportunity for many Aussie men to have a work horse that is luxurious and fast, yes im in BYD
I can't find it now but I did see an independent person with a emf tester and there was more coming from his phone than anything in the cabin of the Shark 6.
great review guys yeah could have tried to test it harder with slopes maybe . it seems also if you drive the car till 25pc on battery you are lomited to max 96kmph till the battery can recharge then you will have more sppee again
Yes, time will tell but it seems you've written it off already. It's a "anywhere you can get unleaded" ute with a very small engine and two very large electric motors that more than compensate. Will be good to see how these are going in a few years time.
In some reviews I've seen towing economy of 16L/100k? and if regular drving without frequent topup is around 7 or 8 L/100K Not sure what the point is when a manual 2013 Mitsubishi will do 9.5L/100K normal driving or 12.5L/100K Towing. Dont think its really good enough just for the ability to use EV mode every now and then. I like the idea but it seems underwhelming in terms of efficiency.
@@mitchelljack1590 you would have to invest in decent home charging station which costs a fair bit otherwise a standard wall socket wouldnt charge it quick enough
@@peterachilles9346 Australian testing market dictates the fuel usage for 100km. BYD also quote 7.9 L / 100 as their other metric. It's not BYDs fault lol, all plug-in hybrids have that low quote (~2L / 100 etc)
I would like one but am turned off if they keep it speed limited to 110kms/hr whilst towing and no cruise control whilst towing! That's downright dangerous and stupid!
1:37 It's a bad sign for a vehicle review when the first critical assessment is how fashionable the manufacturer insignia is. 2:05 I honestly don't know, so I'm asking.... are those recovery hooks, or shipping anchoring points.... or both? 15:40 I keep locking on the image of a vehicle parked across a road, right over double centrelines, with a blind curve in the background. Clearly no-one who has lived that long could be that lucky/ stupid to do that on a public road..... but it sure looks like the same public road he drive the vehicle on. Fuel economy is relevant to most people..... I can never understand why cars without the prime feature being extreme performance..... use premium unleaded, with the associated extra cost. The rest of the specs look interesting. PS.... note to self.... factor in additional potential abuse drawbacks of demo models, if they're 4WD.
@@CountryMusicSavedMeyep 100%. Carexpert did a tow test and couldn't understand what was going on. I am sure down the track BYD will do a software update to address it but it is a bizarre turn of events
@@VMVargeit is, but at least they seem responsive to customer concerns. Also will need to be able to use tow mode with off-road settings too considering the number of people who tow camper trailers etc off-road.
reading comments are more fun than watching the video, reminds me when I arrived in Australia 45 years, first thing I've been told, if you wanna be an aussie forget the Nip cars and drive Holden, I couldn't go fast enough to Flemington car market and got myself a HQ Kingswood, when all the other my smarter wog friends were buying mazda rotaries or Celicas. Nice. Same mentality is dying out but, still lingering and saying same shit about Chinese cars. I am in office today, everything I touch, sit on it or wearing is Chinese and awesome!
Ah yes, how foolish of us to use mountain mode when driving off road in…. the Blue Mountains. As per our usual testing, we cycled through all the relevant drive modes when tackling a range of obstacles and offered our most relevant feedback here.
Don’t believe these are honest reviews with no bias or financial incentive? Why would any one be a Guinea pig, and buy one of these Chinese Byd, want to see how great the manufacture is, go to you tube and type in how reliable are Byd made cars.
Saw this and thought it’s got to be Australian. And sure enough. Come on guys, stop promoting hybrids. We’re well on the way to becoming the worlds hybrid dumping ground. Thanks libs and labs. Latest Toyota Yaris does just 1 mile on battery only, what a joke.
Answer is a flat out yes of course! Why do people like you think all others need to think and be like you and drive what YOU think they should.? So what if a CX5 is half that what does that even mean? A landscaper isn't going to run his business out of a CX5 or any other small SUV. I wonder i you were doing reno's at home would you get the shits with your tiler as he turns up in his BYD or other dual cab ute with a hep of sand/cement in the tray for your new bathroom screed and tell him " you should have brought that in a CX5"
I will never buy an e vehicle of any kind in this time frame the technology is in infancy this thing weighs nearly 3 tonne due to batteries and its components and how long does this battery last?
In off Road testing, since Car Expert has created the controversy that the Shark 6 could not climb a Stage 1 Hill in Gravel which is a bit rutted. Can you do this test? Or there is an official BYD clamp down on such test! Which is odd as it's Sister Leopard SUV LHD can do absolutely any gravel Hill, even a Stage 3 Hill.

Need to test drive this beast, game changer
Do it mate , i am Loving mine !
service costs, service intervals and spare parts can make a difference is your a serious off roader, other than that, I'd buy one just because it's got 3 power sockets
and a great looking front end
4. 1 inside
Can't wait to see the full electric version of that thing.
There won't be anytime soon
@liuyangyang it would be an easy "parts bin special" for BYD. They could put the 100kWh pack from the Tang SUV and call it done.
Hi. Is there an OEM canopy option for the tray? Also, liked the back power points for the portable fridge.
The BYD has definitely come along way. But it’s still no competition for the GMC Denali EV truck. But definitely a great truck for the money.
It would want to be at 3 times the cost, Denali is $107,000 US, if this was available there it would be $ 35,500, anyway makes no difference as the US won't get this vehicle, so happy spending your hard earned on your Denali.
A “giggly” ride. My wife loves those. Or is that me who loves those? ❤😂
😂😆
Only issue for me not buy this as a person staying in the more rural districts of Aus... is were do I service this? My town only have ford and toyota branches
no way ! !!!!! Jez reviewing on chasing cars let gooooo
Amazing product.
The big question that we need to know is that, can this BYD tow either a large horse float or caravan on a long journey easily ????
My guy, if you watched the video or read you can see it's 2.5t max towing, so "no" it cannot. This will find lots of "friends" in trades given they can charge their battery tools (or run them) straight from the vehicle on a job site. Horses (pun intended) for courses.
wow.the display is great!
I really want to get this car, but they’re all out - no clue when I’ll get my turn
It would cool be they bring an SUV wagon to market, with the same front end and a shorter boot with a XL version the same length as the Ute.
The BYD Denza B5 4wd suv is coming to Australia , 675hp, 750nm, height adjustable suspension and a shed load of luxury.
I seriously don't get why auto reviewers don't have enough understanding of the difference between a live rear axle and IRS, and its impact on payload and towing capacity.
The BYD Shark is IRS, the SAME as a Ford Raptor and guess what, it has the same towing capacity as a Ford Raptor, but get this, it actually had a greater payload weight 790kg than the 717kg the raptor has. BTW Honda Ridgeline 718 payload, 2268 Towing....
Anywhoo entertaining summarisation of the Shark.
Thank you for a informative review. Seems like the shark isn’t scared of the mud puddles. So China is doing better than Japan.
Doing better than toyota...anything over shoe height in the water and toyota will wipe any warranty claim for water ingress........
BYD Shark is the best pickup truck
Good review!
I wish you drove it up a steep dirt hill though
If your referring to the car expert failure that was a pre production model. Someone else has done the same hill on the production version and it passed with flying colours.
@@jameshind6644do you know who it was? Genuinely want to see this as I haven’t seen anything about the Shark being a capable off road climber…

Take to cape York Please see how would it hold up.
I'd genuinely like to see a real-world tow test with one of these. Like, hook up a 2ish tonne load and head up the Alpine Way in the NSW Snowy Mountains. How long will the battery last in that sort of sustained steep uphill climb (in Hybrid mode of course)? Can the petrol motor keep on top of the energy consumption required, and if it depletes the battery completely can the 1.5L motor reasonably handle the load? Can the battery and hybrid system handle the heat this will generate? The dynamic braking should be a huge advantage in this situation, but I'm otherwise suspicious on it's capability to handle a sustained load. I'd also be quite happy be proven wrong. @BYD - want to loan me one and I'll run this exact test for you? If it passes you might have a convert.
Found a tow test review. Consumption highway towing was 20l/100km! Close to a V8 Patrol.
What about seat adjuster memory?
I don't think people realise how much weight 2.5 tonne is. Honestly if you need to tow 3.5 tonnes you need a truck.
The max range on paper was mostly 500kms 3 years ago for many EVs. And this year max range reach 1000kms. It is 500kms increase in three years, or doubled in three years. What would happen in next three years? anther 500kms up to 1500kms? or...double again into 2000kms? What would happen in ten years?
So....where was the offroad test. C'mon guys, either do it properly or skip it. My 2wd 1976 Ford Escort could have driven down that track.
I want to see a review where say a family of 4 go offgrid camping in a fully loaded and towing to spec Shark6 (GVM and GCM). Then tell us how it went including handling, driving experience, fuel consumption and range. Not this theoretical BS 100KM EV and total 800km range and scripted light weight driver only review.
Typical ICE Hater !
I learnt to drive in a Falcon XB coupe with the proud Geelong V8, could chew up any Escort or Cortina or whatever, but that's all in the past and we simply don't live there no more. Suffice to say I'll take the BYD in a blink, sorry mate.
@@Voxabonable I was not into V8s back in the day hence my Escort. My comment has nothing to do with whether I would prefer a car from the 70s or the Shark, I quite like the Shark but I won't stand for reviews which test a vehicle within an environment which isn't up to par. The tactic is pathetic
@@neilstewart5060we're not going to see that on this channel.
well, I am quite OK with the BYD. A bit of competition in the vehicle market is great. I am also keen to see the Kia Tasman...
this is the low end suspension. Try Di-Sus P, much much better
2nd gen will be interesting
This is the 2nd gen. The first gen is Bao5, Thire Gen is Bao8. Neither of them available overseas.
I want to see the repair bills after doing 400,000 kms.
Do you need to throw it away??
Time will tell.
I want an EV ute with a 10yr battery warranty.
20!
The average life of a car in Oz is 20yrs, and the ave distance travelled pa is 11000 kms.
Ioniq5 battery alone was C$60K according to motormouth! Shop charges included though !
@@gowengetter4599 what are you benchmarking it against? How many dual cab Utes will do 400,000km without either a gearbox or set of injectors or a broken piston? What will Toyotas 48v system look like at 400,000km, will it still be functioning assuming it hasn’t failed already from driving through a small puddle
The only thing these days that still lasts after 400,000 kms is a 70 series.
Is it rated to hang brass balls off the tow hitch?
😂😆
To be honest,what % of these vehicles actually go off-road?
3%
@@Sulu-d4r not even 0.3%
@@liuyangyang lol true!
Exactly. None of these youtube channels ever test any 4x4's on wash boarded roads - its a key test. Ranger's start falling to bits after 20km.
@ what's a wash boarded road?
how much？
Yep
Yeh, but all I want is a 2-door tray top with a 2.5M tray. Enough to carry a full sheet of material, side loaded.
Now imagine if they put a diesel engine in it, it'd be well worth buying
Should add a quick review of the quality of the sound system. Almost always ignored by all reviewers (not just this channel), so I assume it isn't good.
It's a step ahead compared to the seal.
I test drove one.. found it to be pretty good.. certainly good enough for me
12 speakers.. the equivalent priced Ranger has 4 I think
Crazy
Poncho usually talks about the audio quality in his reviews
It’s not terrible - tweak the settings a bit and it sounds nice. Some people complain it isn’t loud enough but listening to music isn’t always about making your ears bleed. I’d rather have crisp clear sound than loud distorted bullshit.
Anyway it went as loud as I wanted it to go and still had some left - I usually upgrade all of my sound systems with premium gear but I don’t think I will worry about it for now.
Dynaudiois a well respected name in loudspeakers , the system in the Shark has a very clean detailed "Hi Fi " type sound. The time alignment and other adjustments are great. I like it .
So this is an E-UTE?
I LOOVE E-UTE EVERYDAY
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
How do you know its a game changer? Has it done 300000 kms yet?
believe or not. The shark has done much more than that is more extreme conditions. 300k kilo is a must for any cars
in other countries it has

Long term is the question here. Let’s see 5 to 10 years down the road how it compares to the Japanese vehicles.
@@zoranm6432 don’t need to wait that long. 12 months later, PRC branded vehicles will be worth less than 25% of sticker price. 2 year old PRC branded vehicle will be destined to the junkyard and sold by the weight

@ no chance. I will never buy a Chinese vehicle and I’m sure there’s a lot of people who feel the same way

@@yslee1401 Hilux's depreciated by around 15-20% in the first year so really for an unknown 25% depreciation isn't too bad... question is, how do you know the depreciation of a BYD Shark 6 when they haven't even been out for a year yet?
Hopefully this rejigs Toyota, Ford, and all those traditional ute builders to get off their high horse and innovate/lower their prices
4wd amateur review man is going through mud and shows the available modes one being mud but he decides to put it in Mountain mode, the old man conducting the road part of the review is not much smarter...its interesting how the acclaimed 0-100 kph is 5.9 sec but the reviewers got 5.7 sec an amazingly impressive time, so this 60K BYD Shark will blow off the top of the range Ford Raptor double its price! But the review man says nothing about it. WTF? This is the fastest time any 4wd ute has achieved and its an exciting opportunity for many Aussie men to have a work horse that is luxurious and fast, yes im in BYD

haha love it !
Do they do any non native emf testing? Some of the earlier Tesla’s you are getting fried in the drivers seat.
BYD have been around since the 90’s..
I can't find it now but I did see an independent person with a emf tester and there was more coming from his phone than anything in the cabin of the Shark 6.
Build your dream
great review guys
yeah could have tried to test it harder with slopes maybe .
it seems also if you drive the car till 25pc on battery you are lomited to max 96kmph till the battery can recharge then you will have more sppee again
No this is not true, been down to 25% and it definitely doesn't have power loss.

@@Den-pu6re reality hurts. BYD Australia has a bad reputation for not honouring warranty claims. They dug their own graves
Only time will tell, but the BYD will not last in the Australian outback. It’s a city Ute with a very small engine.
Yes, time will tell but it seems you've written it off already. It's a "anywhere you can get unleaded" ute with a very small engine and two very large electric motors that more than compensate. Will be good to see how these are going in a few years time.
Also they ARE NOT recovery points mate!!!!!!!!!!!! they aren't rated! DO NOT TOW OR WINCH FROM THESE!!!!!
In some reviews I've seen towing economy of 16L/100k? and if regular drving without frequent topup is around 7 or 8 L/100K Not sure what the point is when a manual 2013 Mitsubishi will do 9.5L/100K normal driving or 12.5L/100K Towing. Dont think its really good enough just for the ability to use EV mode every now and then. I like the idea but it seems underwhelming in terms of efficiency.
Agreed. I dont know how they come up with their BS 2L per 100km

@@mitchelljack1590 you would have to invest in decent home charging station which costs a fair bit otherwise a standard wall socket wouldnt charge it quick enough

@@clipzed yes it it BYDs fault. Also the gullible consumer for believing a 2720kg vehicle could use 2L per 100km

Erroneous
1:37 It's a bad sign for a vehicle review when the first critical assessment is how fashionable the manufacturer insignia is.
2:05 I honestly don't know, so I'm asking.... are those recovery hooks, or shipping anchoring points.... or both?
15:40 I keep locking on the image of a vehicle parked across a road, right over double centrelines, with a blind curve in the background. Clearly no-one who has lived that long could be that lucky/ stupid to do that on a public road..... but it sure looks like the same public road he drive the vehicle on.
Fuel economy is relevant to most people..... I can never understand why cars without the prime feature being extreme performance..... use premium unleaded, with the associated extra cost. The rest of the specs look interesting.
PS.... note to self.... factor in additional potential abuse drawbacks of demo models, if they're 4WD.
so seems to be dirty proof too...
And you cannot activate cruise control with a trailer connected. So close yet so far😂
@@CountryMusicSavedMeyep 100%. Carexpert did a tow test and couldn't understand what was going on. I am sure down the track BYD will do a software update to address it but it is a bizarre turn of events

@@stubi3 Thanks for the update didn't know about the 110km/h limit. Strange that these things are a thing!
@@VMVargeit is, but at least they seem responsive to customer concerns. Also will need to be able to use tow mode with off-road settings too considering the number of people who tow camper trailers etc off-road.

reading comments are more fun than watching the video, reminds me when I arrived in Australia 45 years, first thing I've been told, if you wanna be an aussie forget the Nip cars and drive Holden, I couldn't go fast enough to Flemington car market and got myself a HQ Kingswood, when all the other my smarter wog friends were buying mazda rotaries or Celicas. Nice.
Same mentality is dying out but, still lingering and saying same shit about Chinese cars. I am in office today, everything I touch, sit on it or wearing is Chinese and awesome!
When the reviewer puts the car in 'mountain' mode when tackling mud, that brings his opinion and the entire offroad review into question.
Ah yes, how foolish of us to use mountain mode when driving off road in…. the Blue Mountains.
As per our usual testing, we cycled through all the relevant drive modes when tackling a range of obstacles and offered our most relevant feedback here.
Don’t believe these are honest reviews with no bias or financial incentive? Why would any one be a Guinea pig, and buy one of these Chinese Byd, want to see how great the manufacture is, go to you tube and type in how reliable are Byd made cars.

Impressive but do we really need to drive 2700 tanks like that? A cx5 is half that....
Answer is a flat out yes of course! Why do people like you think all others need to think and be like you and drive what YOU think they should.? So what if a CX5 is half that what does that even mean? A landscaper isn't going to run his business out of a CX5 or any other small SUV. I wonder i you were doing reno's at home would you get the shits with your tiler as he turns up in his BYD or other dual cab ute with a hep of sand/cement in the tray for your new bathroom screed and tell him " you should have brought that in a CX5"
a meaningless comment
Too much tech for a UTE vehicle. This is more family travel car, then UTE/4X4/Truck.

This is EV?
In off Road testing, since Car Expert has created the controversy that the Shark 6 could not climb a Stage 1 Hill in Gravel which is a bit rutted. Can you do this test? Or there is an official BYD clamp down on such test!
Which is odd as it's Sister Leopard SUV LHD can do absolutely any gravel Hill, even a Stage 3 Hill.
There’s a recent video showing a production Shark easily doing that same hill that CE did and doing it with ease….
