BYD Shark 6 PHEV brings bold hybrid power to Pakistan

The wait is almost over. The highly anticipated BYD Shark 6 PHEV is officially set to launch in Pakistan on July 25, 2025. After months of speculation and early previews, credible sources have confirmed the launch date. Signaling BYD’s bold step into the Pakistani market with a powerful plug-in hybrid pickup.

Earlier this year, BYD had hinted at a mid-2025 debut for the Shark 6, with pre-bookings expected by late April. While bookings took longer than expected, the confirmation of a late-July launch shows that the automaker is now moving full speed ahead.

Expected Price and Assembly Plans

As for the price, the BYD Shark 6 is projected to land between PKR 19 to 20 million. Initially, it will arrive as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), but BYD isn’t stopping there. The company has revealed plans to begin local assembly in 2026, which could significantly reduce costs and boost local manufacturing and employment in Pakistan’s auto sector.

A Bold and Modern Hybrid Pickup

Our hands-on experience with the Shark 6 last year offered a glimpse of what this futuristic pickup brings to the table. From aggressive exterior styling to a feature-rich cabin and powerful hybrid performance, the Shark 6 is positioned to compete with global names.

Exterior Design That Turns Heads

The front fascia is dominated by a shark-inspired grille, flanked by sharp LED headlamps and continuous lava-style rear lights. Bold lines and a sculpted body give it a commanding road presence. It rides on 18-inch Continental tires, with roof rails and a shark fin antenna design reminiscent of performance pickups like the Ford Raptor.

High-Tech and Comfortable Interior

Inside, the Shark 6 features a plush, two-tone cabin in fluorescent orange and black, a rotating touchscreen infotainment system, and a fully digital dashboard. The pickup includes voice controls, NFC keyless entry, and a suite of driver-assistance features like blind-spot monitoring, fatigue detection, lane assist, and radar sensors.

Powerful Hybrid Engine Specs

Under the hood, the Shark 6 packs a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine paired with dual electric motors, delivering a combined output of 321kW. The 58 kWh LFP battery offers an 80 km electric-only range, while the full hybrid range stretches to 800 km. It also boasts all-wheel drive, regenerative braking, and a respectable 13 km/L fuel efficiency.

A Green Shift for Pakistan’s Pickup Segment

The launch of the BYD Shark 6 PHEV marks more than just a new product. It signals a shift in Pakistan’s auto landscape toward hybrid and electric innovation. As consumer interest grows and infrastructure evolves, this model could be a game-changer in the pickup category.
