1 BYD Car For Sale in South East QLD, Queensland

Sales of the BYD Shark 6 have boomed since it first hit the market in early 2025. Now there are other plug-in hybrid utes, and a more capable and powerful model on the way, is it still worth investing in the original?

All three of these electric cars have 'performance' in their names, but which is truly worthy of the name?

A smartly styled, RAV4-sized plug-in hybrid SUV from $34K? That's the promise of the BYD Sealion 5. We go looking for the catch.

BYD pours all it knows into the Sealion 8 – a seven-seat plug-in hybrid that aims to have you thinking twice about that Toyota Kluger or Hyundai Santa Fe.

Shipments of BYD cars to Australia will triple – up to 30,000 in two months – to meet increased demand amid high fuel prices.

BYD has dropped the tub from its Shark 6 – alongside features such as a head-up display – for a $2000 price reduction.

While some Chinese brands are starting to encroach on Porsche, the German brand believes it is unique enough to capitalise.

BYD's most powerful and capable Shark 6 ute, now with 3500kg towing, will still be cheaper than a HiLux SR5 on arrival in May.
