BYD Shark 6

Engine, motors and battery

The BYD Shark 6 is a double-cab plug-in hybrid pickup, sold in Pakistan in one Premium variant at Rs 19,950,000 ex-factory. It pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine (135 kW, 260 Nm) with two electric motors: 130 kW and 170 Nm at the front, and 150 kW and 340 Nm at the rear, giving all-wheel drive. Combined system output is quoted at 321 kW and 650 Nm, good for a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 5.7 seconds. A 29.58 kWh Blade battery gives up to 100 km of electric-only driving on the NEDC cycle, and with the 60-litre fuel tank the claimed combined range is about 800 km. Mud, snow and sand terrain modes are included.

Charging and power output

The battery can be plugged in to charge, so daily commutes can be driven largely on electricity if you charge at home. The Shark 6 also supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), which lets it run tools or appliances at a work site, farm or campsite. Official Pakistani charging speeds were not available to us.

Size and practicality

This is a big vehicle: 5,457 mm long, 1,971 mm wide and 1,925 mm tall, on a 3,260 mm wheelbase, with 230 mm of unladen ground clearance and a kerb weight of 2,710 kg. It seats five and comes with fixed side steps and an aluminium roof rack.

Equipment

The cabin has a rotating touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 12-speaker Dynaudio system, an English voice assistant and over-the-air updates. The front seats are ventilated and heated, with an 8-way powered driver seat and a powered passenger seat. Keyless entry and start, an NFC digital key, a 50 W wireless charger, dual-zone automatic air conditioning with rear vents, and front and rear USB-A and USB-C ports are standard. Safety equipment includes front, side, curtain and driver far-side airbags, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, ISOFIX mounts, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping aids, blind spot detection, cross-traffic alert and brake, trailer stability control, hill descent control and a head-up display. Lighting is LED, with front and rear fog lamps.

Warranty

PakWheels lists an 8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty. We could not confirm the vehicle warranty from an official source, so ask the dealer before buying.

Which variant to buy

The Premium is the only Shark 6 with a published price. BYD displayed an Anniversary Edition in Outback Orange at PAPS 2026, but its price was not announced. In our opinion, at nearly Rs 20 million the Shark 6 is a lifestyle pickup rather than a basic workhorse: it suits buyers who want a pickup body with SUV-like comfort and the option of electric commuting, while those who just need a load-carrier will find conventional diesel pickups far cheaper.
