BYD has introduced the Shark in Mexico and it features 62 miles of electric-only range and price tag that undercuts the Chevy Colorado.
BYD has introduced the all-new Shark. It’s an impressive looking mid-size truck that features a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Borrowing heavily from the Ford F-150 Lightning playbook, the Shark features a prominent BYD grille that is flanked by vertical headlights and LED “contour” lighting. They’re joined by plastic body cladding, roof rails, and a chase bar. The truck also sports blacked out pillars and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Out back, we can see a Ford-esque tailgate and vertical taillights that are connected by a horizontal strip. They’re joined by a bumper with a wide central step
BYD says the Shark has the “largest body size in its class” and it measures 214.8 inches (5,457 mm) long, 77.6 inches (1,971 mm) wide, and 75.8 inches (1,925 mm) tall. To put those numbers into perspective, the model is slightly longer than the Chevrolet Colorado and Ford Ranger but 3.2 inches (81 mm) shorter than the Jeep Gladiator.
BYD didn’t say much about the truck’s plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it apparently has a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. This gives the model more than 430 hp (321 kW / 436 PS) and a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 5.7 seconds.
More importantly, the truck can travel 62 miles (100 km) on electricity alone in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). When the battery is low, it can go from a 30% to 80% charge in as little as 20 minutes.
