Description

One of the success stories in the new vehicle market this year has been
the BYD Shark 6 plug-in hybrid 4 x 4 ute – released at the beginning of the
year this Chinese ute has dented the sales of three of our biggest selling
vehicles year to date – the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max,
helping to push BYD into the top ten sellers list – BYD sales have
increased by 146 percent July year to date with the Shark 6 ute its best
seller, now representing 41 per cent of total sales. Despite this and given
the highly competitive nature of the 4x4. ute market BYD has just
discounted it by $3,000 – the single Premium variant now on offer for
$59,400 drive-away. Two new optional colours have also been added –
Outback Orange and Mist Grey for another $700. I’m David Berthon
