Chinese Byd is preparing another export pickup: the first photos

Autohome.com portal shared pictures of a camouflaged prototype of the truck, which was tested with the Yangwang U8 frame. Chinese journalists believe that the new pickup will also be connected by a hybrid, like the “senior” Shark model. BYD designers abandoned the brutal appearance in favor of the “cross -over” style, but whether this means a bet on the supporting body is unknown.

So far, the Bezny BYD pickup on the front optics can be unified with the Song Plus SUV. Form factor is traditional: a four-door cabin, a small body, a folding side from behind with a small loading height. Between the axes you can notice the battery, on the roof – rails. Judging by the camouflage, the body is already serial, in a high degree of readiness.

At the moment, the company has one pickup – Byd Shack, who debuted in Mexico in May last year. The development of a full-size pickup for Australia was confirmed, but it is unlikely to be, because in length the sample is inferior to the 5.3-meter Yangwang U8. According to unofficial data, the prototype in the photo has a hybrid DMO system with a 1.5-liter turbo engine.

The most important markets for full -sized pickups – the USA and Canada – are essentially closed for BYD, but there are many countries in the world where smaller trucks are in demand. Probably, the novelty will take a niche under the Shark model and will be more accessible and easier. Whether this is so, we will find out soon, because from the moment of the first tests in China, nearly two years have passed.
