BYD Shark 6 Premium 2026 (PHEV) — Now in Our Sydney Fleet

The BYD Shark 6 Premium 2026 has arrived in our Sydney fleet — and it's one of the most exciting utes to hit Australian roads in a decade.

Why the Shark 6 is a big deal

The Shark 6 is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) dual-cab ute — the first of its kind to properly challenge the Hilux and Ranger on their own turf. It combines a turbocharged petrol engine with dual electric motors for genuine 4WD capability, delivers around 100km of pure-EV range for the daily commute, and can tow, haul and hit the beach on the weekend.

For most Sydney drivers, that means you can do the school run, the airport and the Bunnings trip entirely on electric — then road-trip to Byron without stopping to charge.
