The BYD Shark 6 has a 1.5-litre petrol turbo engine combined with a 29.58kWh BYD Blade Battery, which together produce a potent 321kW of power and 650Nm of torque.
This powerful petrol and battery powertrain is driven to all four wheels, ensuring the double-cab BYD Shark 6 sprints to 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds.
The beauty of BYD’s PHEV system is that this powertrain can also be optimised for efficiency – offering an impressive 2L/100km consumption and a total range of 800km per tank.
You can also switch to battery-only driving for next-level cost savings at a range of up to 85km – in part thanks to excellent regenerative braking.

DMO Super Off-Road platform
Underpinning the BYD Shark 6’s excellent performance is an exceptional off-road PHEV technology called DMO – Dual Mode Off-Road.
DMO redefines the bakkie experience in South Africa by providing incredible off-road performance, superior power, long driving range, and luxurious comfort.
It does this through several key technologies, including:
- Dual-motor electric AWD drivetrain
- Revolutionary ladder-frame designed for hybrids
- World’s first longitudinal high-performance engine for PHEV
- Double wishbone independent suspension (front and rear)
- Cell To Chassis (CTC) technology
The intelligent AWD system delivers the ultimate off-road experience with sand, mud, snow, and mount (mountain) drive modes for the best experience, no matter the terrain.
Wherever you are, you can also rest assured that you and your family will be safe in the Shark 6 thanks to its CTC technology, which makes it a mobile fortress by enhancing vehicle safety with 78% high-strength steel.
The DMO Super Off-Road platform provides much more, too.
It gives the Shark 6 high lateral stability – ensuring it doesn’t roll easily – and a massive 650Nm of torque for extreme off-road performance.
The DMO Super-Hybrid Off-Road system also provides drivers with high-strength steel underbody protection, while the combination of 230mm ground clearance, 31-degree approach, 17-degree passing, and 19.3-degree departure angles ensures you can go anywhere, anytime.
A responsive throttle and superior traction then make the Shark 6 the ultimate capable off-roader, with the experience being rounded out by its comfortable, spacious cabin.
The reason for this impressive performance is simple: The BYD Shark 6 features the world's first off-road-specific hybrid architecture.
This includes its hybrid ladder frame, resulting in a safe, powerful, and reliable high-end comfortable driving experience from the tarmac to the toughest terrain.
