BYD Shark Pickup Truck Test Drive at World Premiere

In a bold move that underscores its commitment to global markets, Chinese automaker BYD unveiled its first pickup truck, the BYD Shark, at an exclusive event in Mexico City. This marks the first time BYD has chosen a location outside China for a global debut, highlighting Mexico's strategic importance to the company's expansion plans amidst the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market in North America.
The 2024 BYD Shark is designed to compete directly with established midsize trucks like the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Hilux, and Nissan Navara. Despite BYD's absence in the U.S. market, the Shark is poised to make a significant impact in regions where the pickup segment thrives, such as Latin America and Asia.
Crafted under the direction of BYD’s global design director, Wolfgang Egger, formerly of Alfa Romeo, Audi, and Lamborghini, the Shark boasts a robust and bold design. Its aesthetic borrows elements from the iconic Ford F-150 Lightning, featuring squared headlights, taillights, and a distinctive light bar that stretches across both the front and rear of the vehicle. The BYD name boldly stamped on the tailgate and grille is reminiscent of the Ford F-150 Raptor, cementing its rugged appeal.
The design, inspired by the oceanic predator after which it is named, incorporates a front rocker panel and wide wheel arches, adding a touch of ruggedness to its overall appearance. The 128.3-inch wheelbase is typical of midsize trucks, aiding in off-road capabilities while maintaining good vehicle proportions.
Inside, the Shark offers a modern and stylish cabin with multiple color highlights accentuating key features. Rectangular air vents and center console toggle switches are accented in orange, with contrasting stitching enhancing the visual appeal of the seats, dashboard, and door panels. The interior is anchored by a rotative 12.8-inch screen that functions in both portrait and landscape modes and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional driver-focused technologies include a 10.25-inch digital cluster and a 12-inch head-up display.
Performance-wise, the Shark is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors, delivering a combined output of 430 horsepower. It boasts an EV-only range of 62 miles thanks to its 30-kWh blade battery, and can achieve a total range of 528 miles with a full tank and charged battery. The truck also supports fast charging, which can replenish the battery from 20 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes.
Set to be initially manufactured in China, there are plans for a future production facility in Mexico. The BYD Shark will retail starting at $53,440 in Mexico, with two versions available, both equipped with the same robust powertrain. As BYD ventures into the competitive global pickup market, the Shark is definitely a newcomer worth watching.

The negativity against Chinese products... a few here and a lot more in other KZbin videos makes me understand....What the Japanese companies would have faced in America and Europe back in 50s and 60s ! It must have been really bad with no one to support. They rose in the 70s and 80s....And look at how long the Japanese have been dominant.....right from the 80s.

[@kappa633]

American lawmakers killed or contained japanese automobiles back then even the chip which japan could have been leading. But now times have changed everyone is observing what American government is doing

[@manuelericmijangos499]

The American consumer may never get to judge/experience an actual Chinese EV for these will be prohibitively expensive after having been hit with an additional 100% tariff, even if those vehicles were manufactured in a country with whom the U.S. has a "free-trade agreement."

Ford is cooked, their response is with the lil baby 45km of electric range Ford Ranger that's not even out yet cus they can't compete on manufacturing. Even Toyota plug in hybrid's have at least 65km of electric range.

[@MrAlexg1101]

It looks bad ass!

[@oleksandrshyiatyi6826]

53k usd for 1.5 liter engine with 2 batteries.... 😂 .If they want good sales this pick up truck should be cheaper than maverick for sure. I like idea of making middle size pick up trucks more fuel efficient with saving some basic off-road capabilities, but hybrid system will fit much better for them. With fully electric and plug in systems you automatically eliminate customers that don't have own houses ( live in apartments and condos). And this big part. Usually someone who can afford own house will not even look in direction of mid size pick up !

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

Unless it's considerably cheaper or offers features the others are missing. I don't see any advantages to buying one

[@markrahman1381]

I wonder how the engine and electric motor work together. What if one fails less power? I need atleast a 500-800 Km range Truck . without charging If it can do this then why not

[@caseyzhu8968]

At speeds below 120km/h, the vehicle is driven by the electric motor，the engine is used as a generator at maximum efficiency to charge the battery。 Above 120km/h, the engine drives the vehicle directly while charging the batteries, and the electric motor drives the vehicle in a supporting role. Of course, the actual situation is much more complicated than the above two statements, but the general principle is basically the same.

[@caseyzhu8968]

The combined range of 840km refers to the range with a full charge and full gasoline

[@fairryalp.-de5qb]

Around 500-525 Mike range is what it does. The 45 mile range (100km) electric is the bonus. I don't know if it can charge the batteries so people don't need plug In. And not so sure BYD is aiming at US market, or just make Americans wish to have. Or this might and might not meet US standard.
