After making waves in South America and Mexico, the BYD Shark 6 has entered Southeast Asia, recently debuting in Cambodia and appearing at the 2024 Thailand International Motor Show. This signals BYD’s intent to expand its new-energy vehicle (NEV) lineup in the region—and hopefully, the Shark 6 will find its way to the Philippines soon.

Pickup trucks are a staple in the Philippines, beloved for their ruggedness, utility, and ability to conquer both city streets and provincial backroads. With models like the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger dominating the market, the arrival of a plug-in hybrid pickup like the Shark 6 could mark a significant milestone in the local adoption of sustainable motoring.
In Thailand, the right-hand-drive Shark 6 showcased its bold design and robust stance, clearly built to tackle tough terrain while delivering impressive performance. This plug-in hybrid packs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with dual electric motors, creating an AWD system that churns out 435 hp and 650 Nm of torque. With a 0-100 kph time of just 5.7 seconds and a combined driving range of up to 840 km, it offers a compelling blend of power, efficiency, and practicality.

For Filipinos seeking an eco-friendly yet capable pickup, the Shark 6 could be a game-changer—offering not just utility but also advanced technology at what could be a competitive price. If BYD manages to price it under ₱2 million locally, it might just find a strong following among truck enthusiasts and practical buyers alike.
While the Shark 6 isn’t available in the Philippines yet, BYD’s growing lineup of EVs and PHEVs is already making an impact. Explore the options by visiting AutoDeal.com.ph or downloading the AutoDeal app for Android and iOS to find the perfect vehicle for your needs.
