    I'm not even a tradie and want this. Would be a great car to take kids camping/outdoor use. Cheap to run, throw a few bikes in the back, can use V2L to plug in laptops/appliances/coffee machines/projectors for movies without having to worry about it draining the battery. plus FBT exemption this is the price of a corolla after a 2yr lease

    Very interested, my only question is what will the service intervals be like and cost?

    • r33tom on 30/10/2024 - 08:18

      This will be interesting as the ice only kicks in when it's above 70km/hr. Do they have a seperate odometer for the electric drive train and the ice? And will they have to track hours run if the ice is used for power generation instead.

      Because if service intervals based purely on kms run in a traditional odometer is not going to be accurate for the ice and your most likely end up over servicing it if you use it as an ev and plug it in daily.

      • enzso on 30/10/2024 - 08:49

        There's a button for the odo to toggle between HEV and EV kms

      • Rumbaar on 30/10/2024 - 13:14

        Doesn't the ICE kicking in when the battery level is low or if you've set it to retain/reach a certainly level? It's primary use is to charge the battery as a generator?

        • enzso on 31/10/2024 - 08:13

          Yep. In my Sealion 6 the engine kicks in at 25% battery by default. You can set it to be higher if you want.

    • MkVIGTI on 30/10/2024 - 11:07

      It's every 12 months or 20,000kms, minor services are about $360.

    • Rumbaar on 30/10/2024 - 13:13

      Yeah, servicing of PHEV I'm sure will be expensive and very limited to who can do it (qualified or even know what they are doing).

    • phillycheese on 07/11/2024 - 06:10

      The servicing costs for byd shark are available and for the first 5 years is $3955 AUD

      Does anybody else think those are on the expensive side?

      One of service intervals at 48 months costs a whopping $1727 for one service!

      Is the cheap buying price offset by the expensive servicing costs?

      For comparison
      My 2020 Pajero sport first 5 years servicing costs worked out to be $2000, half that of the shark.

      Service intervals is every 12 months

      tesla has been in the australian market for a lot longer and much more established. isn't that obvious?

    • Windows98 on 30/10/2024 - 09:16

      In the EV only market, even though tesla is more expensive than the byd equivalent, they have captured the market with better technology and vehicle integration with apps and infotainment. This doesn't matter to some people, which are the people who would go for a byd Ev. But people who enjoy updates and tech stuff, the tesla is more appealing.

      As for PHEV, tesla has no vehicles that attract anyone who wants Ev only for daily commutes and the option for petrol for longer trips without battery anxiety. So I have seen a lot of byd sea lions recently and I honestly think we will see a lot of the Sharks soon as well.

    I have a 2019 ranger with a bullbar and seriously considering this as an upgrade. Live in rural town and drive 100k total return to work each day. Plenty of wildlife on the road so interested to see what EV range is once a bullbar is fitted. Hoping can maintain around the 80km range and then petrol kicks in for final 20kms - lets say at 9l/100km - So about $3.60 at $2/L

    Currently spending about $20 a day on diesel to get to work. Almost $5k a year in fuel. Charge up on a Sunday during the day with solar $2 lost opportunity on exported solar. Charge up 4 more times in the week overnight offpeak (current power plan is 25c/kw offpeak but hopefully could get an EV or cheaper plan) for $7.5 recharge from the grid. My $100 a week fuel bill drops to $32 + $18 (extra fuel to get home). $2.5k saving per year just on driving to and from work. $25k over 10 years. On a novated lease with 100% FBT exempt the car almost pays for itself!

    • r33tom on 30/10/2024 - 08:26

      Yep the more kms you do the more you save compare to an ice only vehicle. $20 a day just on fuel is very expensive.

      Utes are only FBT exempt for limited private use. For EV’s and PHEV’s they are FBT exempt even when private use is 100%.

      You might need a better accountant?

        Makes you wonder why a lot of utes are used for school runs and driven by wives. Looks like they never been to work. But you know letter of the law depends on interpretation.

        I remember an accountant telling me JobKeeper actually said 30% change in turnover but it didn't specify decrease. So people who increased turnover got it too.

        • Jj456 on 30/10/2024 - 11:21

          Definitely are people out there who are creative with their tax returns and say their utes are mostly business when this is clearly not the case.

      Isn't that the reason people buy a Toyota? They continue to refine their design in small increments. Parts are reused over multiple generation of cars keeping manufacturing costs down and accessible affordable parts for vehicles that's over 20 years old. Mechanics not having to reskill and can quickly and easily do a repair on a Hilux/Camry/corolla.

    BYD Shark 6 Engine
    The Shark 6 features a 135kW/260Nm 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine, driving either the front wheels or charging the battery pack.

    Combined with a 170kW/310Nm motor on the front axle and a 150kW/340Nm motor out on the back axle, providing four-wheel drive capability, the combined maximum power is 321kW and maximum torque is 650Nm.

    BYD Shark 6 Range
    BYD's own figures say that in pure-EV mode, the Shark 6 PHEV should deliver up to 100km of electricity-only drive, or, according to NEDC-verified figures, about 800km of combined petrol/EV range.

    • r33tom on 30/10/2024 - 09:48

      Sounds like a complicated beast. The mechanism to disengage the ice from the drive train and use it purely for charging sounds like a non trivial engineering design and something that has to last at least 200,000+ kms.

      Guess if it ever fails you either lose drive from the ice or regeneration. Just hope not both.

        The IEC engine can only drive the car at about highway or freeway speed. It is done via a clutch and a single gear, this is to increase the effciciency by avoiding converting the output from IEC to electricty and then back to wheels via electric motors.

        This design has fewer mechanical complications compared to a traditional torque converter automatic transmission. The Honda Accord Hybrid uses a similar design and has shown no issues with longevity.

      • Windows98 on 30/10/2024 - 13:22

        Soo weird. When did ford get a reputation for good quality?

        They've always had poor quality build and materials. And last time I checked the ranger engines and transmissions have been failing constantly.

        Before the current design ranger, no one touched Ford's for utility cars. The previous gen rangers were basically nowhere to be found. Everyone preferred the Hilux. But once they made the new design and figured out that people will buy a good looking ute over anything else, they suddenly have this aura of quality which never existed before.

        Rangers look good. That's all. They're the best looking ute at the moment. I haven't seen anything to suggest they're built better or last longer than any other vehicle in its range.

        • mustang87401 on 30/10/2024 - 13:44

          I think if you sit inside a brand new ranger you would understand that the build quality and level of craftsmanship is hard to find in any other Ute right now. Engine wise I haven’t had any major issues including my friends and colleagues but they are new vehicles so shouldn’t be anything wrong with them in general.

          • Windows98 on 30/10/2024 - 14:53

      • mustang87401 on 30/10/2024 - 13:44

        I mean yes that’s not really what I meant. It might be faster but the outside is almost a one to one copy especially the front.

          and just like the Triton PHEV, they're all got that 'flat face' look.

    They need the ICE to be diesel if they want any sort of commercial sales.

    I just hire a ute if ever I need one. Do the likes here reflect a deal for them? The likes can be cheap marketing tool anyway. For new cars I like to wait to see how real owners talk about them. I wouldn't mind sharing about my BYD Atto 3 experience - not bad except some glitches in software. Also phantom braking (google byd phantom braking) is annoyiong. Cruise control is good but lane assisted driving is bad which I now avoid to use. Climate control in winter is bad compared to my older Toyota. I got what I paid for anyway. So far my Atto 3 is a safe car overall.

    If you have a lot of sun with Solar - good to get a EV. If you rely on public charging you may need to rethink.

    While commenting I realise that this BYD is a plugin hybrid. Not sure what is the impact to having solar charging at home or not. I saw a news about BYD shark 6 orders crashed the website. Was it bad website design or overwhelming orders because of the $500 credit ?

      My mate has the same qualms about his Atto3 as you did plus he was an early adopter and had that massive aircon issue during the peak of summer.

      He’s happy with it but treats it as an A to B car. That’s fine I guess but personally if I’m dropping that much on a car, despite it being an EV, I’d expect standard features as you mentioned to be rock solid.

      Seems you do not understand the price point, the technology involved (PHEV) and the first ute of it's kind to the Australian market.

  • Rumbaar on 30/10/2024 - 12:56

    Price point is good, but the untested and lack of actual production test drive. Bit of a risk, if wanting to do anything beyond Metro activities. $500 isn't much of an incentive, might as well have done nothing over the low ball token effort.

    Based on carsales, a new base model 4x4 4 door diesel hilux is around $50-55k and a 5yr old one with 150k on the odo is $35-38k. This is the reason people buy them, not the interior design, not the fuel efficiency, not the tech. Just the reliability and the resale. Im sure these will get there, but i wouldnt be buying one for at least 3-4 years personally (unless leasing it maybe). Curious to see the reviews from owners once they are available though!

      thing is with tax benefits, post 2-year novated lease, if you pay the balloon the 2 year old car ends up costing you about 35-38k out of pocket net (balloon+ net costs during lease). this is not even counting savings from fuel. the trim is much much nicer than the base model hilux which is very basic. this is not a no brand shitbox either, I'd give it a go.

    3500kg towing is in development for those needing the extra tow capacity https://www.drive.com.au/news/byd-shark-6-with-3500kg-towing…

    • Sal in SA on 30/10/2024 - 19:03

      Yeah, expected will be othe rmodels with more features / better GVM and towing etc.

    I'll wait for the BYD Leopard - similar spec but SUV / wagon layout!

    • mustang87401 on 30/10/2024 - 13:46

      I’ll wait for the BYD meerkat have you heard of that one? Rippa…

      • scoothardly on 30/10/2024 - 14:36

        I'll keep an eye out for when it pops it's head up!

  • paullovesbargains on 30/10/2024 - 14:02

    So spend $50k and save $500. Which is less than 1%. Why do they bother. Jusst offer a discount!

  • markkkld on 30/10/2024 - 14:17

    Would love this car and wondering how a novated lease without paying FBT stacks up. Is anyone able to explain it like I'm 5?

      Chatgpt is good with that
