BYD’s latest offering in the pickup segment, the Shark, has officially secured a five-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). This top-tier rating reinforces BYD’s growing reputation for building safe and technologically advanced vehicles, putting the Shark in direct competition with some of the most established pickups in the market.
The BYD Shark is set to make waves in the Philippine automotive industry, taking on stalwarts like the Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara, and Isuzu D-MAX. What sets it apart? First, it’s a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), a rarity in the local pickup market. The Shark pairs a turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor, producing a combined output of around 430 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. This makes it one of the most powerful pickups in its class, outmuscling even the most rugged diesel-powered competitors.

Beyond power, the Shark boasts a robust all-wheel-drive system and an intelligent hybrid setup, allowing it to run in full-electric mode for short distances—ideal for city commutes—while still offering the range and toughness required for long hauls and off-road adventures.
The five-star ANCAP rating is a testament to BYD’s commitment to safety. The Shark is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and a driver monitoring system. It also features seven airbags, ensuring superior protection for occupants.
Inside, the Shark offers a premium cabin with a massive rotating infotainment screen, a digital driver’s display, and connectivity features that make it a tech-forward alternative to traditional workhorses. The combination of performance, safety, and technology makes it a compelling choice for buyers looking for something beyond the usual diesel-powered trucks.
