In a major shake-up for Pakistan’s pickup segment, the much-awaited BYD Shark 6 PHEV was officially unveiled on July 25, 2025. Priced at PKR 19.95 million, this plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is not just another SUV—it’s a bold symbol of the country’s pivot toward advanced, eco-friendly mobility solutions.
BYD’s entry into Pakistan with the Shark 6 PHEV signals more than just a product launch, it’s a strategic move that could redefine consumer expectations. At the heart of this rugged yet refined machine is BYD’s Dual Mode hybrid platform, built on over 20 years of research. The system smartly prioritizes electric power, switching to petrol only when extended range is needed, marking a clear departure from traditional hybrids.
BYD Shark 6 PHEV Performance: Power Meets Precision
Under the hood, the BYD Shark 6 PHEV blends muscle with sustainability. Its Xiaoyun 1.5L high-efficiency engine teams up with BYD’s signature Blade Battery to produce a total of 436 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. That’s a serious punch, even by international standards.
Drivers can expect up to 100 km of pure electric drive, backed by a total range of 800 km. Fuel efficiency stands out with up to 50 km/l, making it one of the most energy-conscious pickups available. Whether it’s navigating city streets or off-road trails, the Shark adapts with ease thanks to its intelligent drive modes, including settings for Mud, Snow, and Sand.
Pakistan Gets Greener with BYD Shark 6 PHEV
As urban centres like Lahore and Karachi grapple with air pollution, the BYD Shark 6 PHEV brings a breath of fresh air. It reduces tailpipe CO₂ emissions by up to 62%, aligning perfectly with the country’s long-term sustainability goals.
Beyond its power and range, the vehicle offers cutting-edge tech that raises the bar for local automakers and sets the tone for future clean mobility.
