2025 BYD Shark 6: Pricing and specifications

Order books have officially opened for one of Australia's most anticipated new vehicles, the BYD Shark.

The Shark will be released in Australia at a competitive price of $57,900 excluding on-road costs – at launch, only one model variant will be on sale. BYD have said this is an introductory offer, so expect that number to climb in the new year.

The Shark 6 is propelled by BYD’s DM-O (Dual-Mode Off-road) technology, which combines a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with dual electric motors, yielding a total power output of 321kW and a whopping 650Nm that can propel the shark from 0-100km/h in just 5.7 seconds.

The Shark features BYD’s 29.58kWh Blade Battery, which provides 100km of pure electric range and a combined total driving range of up to 800km.

“No-one is left behind with the BYD Shark 6. There is no need for all of the fuss people might have heard about EVs,” said Luke Todd, EVDirect Executive Chairman and Managing Director. “With this vehicle, simply plug it into your normal wall socket overnight and you’re driving electric, but doing so without any range anxiety.”

Interior niceties include a genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel; 10.25-inch LCD screen; imitation leather-wrapped seats; wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; a 15.6-inch rotating screen; and fixed side steps. The driver’s seat features eight-way power adjustment and four-way lumbar power adjustment, and both front seats are heated and ventilated.

In partnership with BYD’s exclusive Australian distributor, EVDirect, customer deliveries of the Shark are set to begin in December with the following colour options: Great White, Deep Sea Blue and Tidal Black.

EVDirect has also partnered with Ironman 4x4, with the aftermarket brand supplying a range of accessories that can be added at the point of purchase.
