The all-new BYD SHARK has arrived, bringing plug-in hybrid power, bold styling and impressive capability to drivers in Chester and beyond.

A new contender has arrived in the pick-up market, and motorists can now discover it for themselves at BYD Chester.

The BYD SHARK DMO is the latest addition to the brand's growing UK line-up, combining the rugged practicality expected from a pick-up with advanced plug-in hybrid technology and a host of modern features.

Available through Swansway BYD, the SHARK is designed for drivers who need a vehicle that can handle the demands of work while also offering comfort and versatility for everyday life.

Power meets plug-in hybrid technology

At the heart of the BYD SHARK is the brand's DMO (Dual Mode Off-Road) Super Hybrid platform, which combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors and BYD's Blade Battery technology.

The result is a powerful four-wheel-drive pick-up delivering a combined output of 436PS and 650Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0–62mph in just 5.7 seconds, offering performance that sets it apart from more traditional pick-ups.

The plug-in hybrid system also allows drivers to complete suitable journeys using electric power alone, with an official electric driving range of up to around 56 miles, depending on conditions.

For drivers travelling longer distances, the petrol engine provides additional flexibility, with BYD quoting a combined range of up to 419 miles when the battery is charged and the fuel tank is full.

Built for work, designed for adventure

The BYD SHARK combines a muscular exterior with a spacious double-cab layout, providing seating for five and a practical rear load bed.

With a load-bed capacity of 1,200 litres, it offers space for equipment, tools and outdoor essentials, making it a potential option for tradespeople, businesses and drivers with active lifestyles.

Its off-road-focused platform and four-wheel-drive system are designed to help the vehicle tackle a variety of conditions, while the cabin brings a more technology-led approach to the pick-up experience.

Inside, highlights include a large 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument display and a range of comfort features. Depending on specification, these include heated and ventilated front seats, a head-up display, wireless smartphone charging and a premium Dynaudio sound system.

Another useful feature is Vehicle-to-Load technology, which allows the vehicle to supply power to compatible external equipment. With an output of up to 6kW, it could prove particularly useful for those working away from a mains power supply or enjoying outdoor activities.

The SHARK has also achieved a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, adding to its appeal for drivers looking for a capable and technology-packed pick-up.
