The head of the Australian division of the brand David Smiterman confirmed to reporters that on the way a truck, which is more than the current Shark model. The top manager agreed that although BYD is engaged in the project of a full-size pickup, before 2027 the model is unlikely to appear. Australia will become a priority market, because the United States is essentially closed for automakers from China.

According to the Drive magazine, the full -size BYD pickup is a loaded hybrid, since purely electrical versions face difficulties in towing and transporting goods. Probably, the truck will be cheaper than competitors from Ford, Ram, Chevrolet and Toyota, since the Chinese can immediately release a model with the right wheel, and not redo it on the spot.

At the moment, BYD SHARK is in Australia 36 thousand US dollars in equivalent, that is, it is no more expensive than Ford Ranger or Toyota Hilux in rich trim levels. However, the Chinese truck is much better equipped and is a loaded hybrid, unlike rivals. Full -size pickups on a green continent cost from 62 thousand US dollars, so BYD has a reserve.

The filling of the future flagship BYD pickup is to talk prematurely, but in theory the model can be unified with the Yangwang U8, that is, get a 2.0-liter turbo engine, a 49 kilowatt-hour battery and a four-engine power plant with a capacity of 1197 horsepower. The most powerful serial pickup in Australia was the 712-horsepower Ram TRX.
