BYD has certainly made waves in the NZ’s EV world, now it’s aiming to stir up the ute market with its latest creation, the Shark 6. When it’s all said and done, the BYD Shark 6 is a dual-motor plug-in hybrid ute (PHEV) built on BYD’s DMO platform (a technologically advanced system designed for off-road vehicles). The steering wheel is two-spoke, with tactile floating controls for drive and terrain modes, which adjust the visuals and system behaviours to match surfaces like mud land, sand land, snow, or rock – names are not made up.
