I'm a Ford Ranger driver. I put my deposit on one of these yesterday. Ford, Toyota, VW and Mitsubishi are having sleelpless nights ahead.

I have been in a seal today, excellent built car, this UTE is also beautiful. I am pretty sure, my next car is going to be a BYD

Look forward to seeing extensive testing in desert, water crossings, rock climbing

unfortunately here is a funny situation, in China pickups have some restrictions in cities, so Shark is actually more a export faced vehicle.
as a guy who love fishing diving camping, this Shark is really my dish, but I cant get is as easy as you new zealander or brazilian.

the funny thing is most f150 i see on roads don’t tow much if anything. The obsession with monstrous pickup trucks is beyond me.

Did you say that the rear power point was 2400W ? That's awesome if it is. No more second battery setups for camping and running fridges and things.

Looks great…. Reckon be my next Ute if BYD intend to look after customers with any issues. Unfortunately that is not what I am hearing

Subscribed. Good information. Like BYD’s DM-i technology and blade battery. This ute is such a powerful beast, its power really amazed me. Fuel consumption is low too if you consider its size and power. Is that because of BYD’s DM-i technology？

Because it's a PHEV and with our weird RUC laws, when you're driving less than 80 ish km per day this will be cheaper to run than a Tesla or a Leaf. Wild.

Starting price for $53K equivalent for a midsize is honestly a lot higher than I expected. I expected something in the $35K or at most mid $40K range (starting price of a Tacoma hybrid). Remember in Mexico a base Hilux starts at $20K equivalent so BYD is twice as much

Yet its towing and payload a lot less, no solid axle means it is never gonna be as off-road capable. It uses e-CVT rather than traditional torque converter automatic. Its 30kwh or so battery is stored not in the interior like the Wrangler 4XE or TNGA-F product but outside underneath the cab. So repairing and replacing on that battery will take longer and cost more money. Some of the biggest problem of the BYD DMO platform.

This is not the game change that some people hyped up to be

Nice to see they aren’t wasting a steering wheel button on the screen rotate. Is the front light bar on the bonnet going to be available on NZ model? I understood it didn’t comply with some random ANCAP requirement.
If your price guess is correct, I think it will be a slightly more difficult sell than other BYDs, which clearly undercut their competition. Competition in this case includes the well established diesel utes.

Looks great, but in my head I still want and expect a Chinese equivalent to cost considerably less than the Ranger, which all utes seem to be compared with. GWM with its Cannon X, for example, hit a home run because it was (is) a lot of ute for a LOT less than a Ranger.
