BYD Shark telah diumumkan secara rasmi sebagai trak pikap plug-in hibrid pertama yang akan tiba di Australia menjelang akhir tahun ini. Trak pikap ini menjanjikan kadar penggunaan bahan api yang rendah dalam mod hibrid dan jarak pemanduan elektrik sehingga 100km, dengan masa pecutan 0-100km/h dalam 5.7 saat.

Dengan reka bentuk yang lebih besar daripada Ford Ranger atau Toyota Hilux tetapi lebih kecil daripada Ford F-150, BYD Shark menggunakan rangka tangga yang serupa dengan rakan sejawatnya, dengan kapasiti menunda brek sebanyak 2500kg. Ia membezakan dirinya dengan gabungan suspensi belakang bebas dan suspensi depan bebas, yang memberikan prestasi luar jalan yang baik tetapi mungkin mengurangkan prestasi apabila sarat.

Trak pikap ini dilengkapi dengan enjin petrol pengecas turbo 1.5 liter dan dua motor elektrik, menghasilkan keluaran kuasa gabungan lebih daripada 430hp. Ia juga dilengkapi dengan pek bateri plug-in yang membolehkan jarak pemanduan elektrik sehingga 100km atau penggunaan bahan api 7.5L/100km dalam mod hibrid, memberikan jarak pemanduan keseluruhan sehingga 840km (NEDC).

Yang menarik, BYD Shark menampilkan sistem hibrid elektrik membujur pertama di dunia, yang mengutamakan penggunaan motor elektrik untuk pendorongan sehingga 80 peratus daripada jumlah perjalanan.

2025 BYD Shark Set to Hit Australian Showrooms By End of the Year

The BYD Shark has been officially unveiled, marking its arrival in Australia by the end of this year. This introduction also signifies the debut of the first plug-in hybrid pickup truck in Australian showrooms.

Promising a fuel consumption rate of 7.5 litres per 100km in hybrid mode and an electric driving range of up to 100km, the Shark boasts more power and quicker acceleration with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.7 seconds in hybrid mode.

The Shark, larger than a Ford Ranger or Toyota Hilux but smaller than a Ford F-150, utilises ladder-frame underpinnings akin to its counterparts, with a braked towing capacity of 2500kg. Distinguishing itself, it incorporates passenger vehicle-like independent rear suspension alongside independent front suspension, which could enhance off-road performance but potentially reduce performance when laden.

Equipped with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine and two electric motors, the Shark generates a combined power output of more than 430hp. It boasts a plug-in battery pack that delivers up to 100km of electric driving range or fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km in hybrid mode, offering a total driving range of 840km (NEDC).

Notably, the Shark features “the world’s first longitudinal electric hybrid system,” driving all four wheels with electric motors, while the petrol engine directly powers the front wheels. The hybrid system prioritises electric motor propulsion for up to 80 per cent of total journeys.

With a claimed recharge time of 20 minutes from 30 to 80 per cent, the battery pack supports vehicle-to-load technology, enabling the Shark to power external electrical devices while camping.

Measuring 5457mm long, 1971mm wide, and 1925mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3260mm, the Shark offers a payload of up to 835kg and a braked towing capacity of 2500kg. Its 1450-litre tray volume and high-strength steel construction underscore its practicality and durability.

Interior features include a rotating 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite navigation, and a 10.25-inch instrument display. Advanced safety features include autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring.

With its advanced technology, robust construction, and comprehensive features, the 2025 BYD Shark ute is poised to make a significant impact in Australian showrooms upon its arrival later this year.

BYD Unveils Official Interior of the Sea Lion 07

BYD unveiled official interior images of its Sea Lion 07, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y. With its listing by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) months ago, the car is likely poised to commence sales, potentially with an announcement at this week’s Beijing Auto Show.

The Sea Lion 07 appears to be a refined iteration of the BYD Song L, albeit now categorised into the Ocean and Dynasty series and marketed separately. Slightly smaller than the Song L, the Sea Lion 07 measures 4830mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1620mm in height, riding on a wheelbase of 2930mm.

Interior snapshots reveal a surprisingly opulent cabin, echoing the design language of the Qin L. While the instrument screen seamlessly integrates into the flowing dashboard, BYD’s distinctive floating rotatable screen remains a focal point in the centre of the dash. The four-spoke steering wheel is adorned with an array of buttons, and the centre console features a crystal gear lever surrounded by additional controls.

Luxury abounds in the Sea Lion 07, with leather perforated seats complemented by leather-wrapped door panels, steering wheel, and other touch points. The seats boast heating, ventilation, and massage functions, and a Dynaudio sound system enhances the audio experience.

Buyers can opt for either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive variants. Base models are equipped with a 227hp peak power motor, offering a top speed of 210km/h. Higher-spec versions feature a more potent motor, delivering 308hp peak power and enabling a top speed of 225km/h. The 4WD model likely incorporates a 214hp motor on the front axle alongside the 308hp motor, maintaining a top speed of 225km/h while potentially achieving sub-4-second acceleration.

While battery capacities remain undisclosed, the Sea Lion 07 is expected to utilise BYD’s blade battery technology, benefiting from CTB integration. The vehicle is equipped with front double wishbone suspension, rear five-link suspension, and the DiSus-C intelligent damping control system. Additionally, it is anticipated to feature BYD’s ‘Eye of the Gods’ intelligent driving system, adding to its allure.

BYD Seal U untuk Masuk ke Pasaran Malaysia?

Terdapat spekulasi mengenai kemungkinan kemasukan BYD Seal U ke dalam pasaran automotif Malaysia. Seal U, yang digemari kerana gabungan teknologi termaju, dalaman yang luas dan teknologi canggih, telah menangkap perhatian pemandu Malaysia yang mencari pilihan pengangkutan yang mampan.

Menambahkan lagi jangkaan ialah kehadiran model BYD Seal AWD dan RWD yang sudahpun menjadi tumpuan di Malaysia, meletakkan asas untuk ketibaan Seal U yang tidak lama lagi.

Kini tersedia di Eropah, BYD Seal U menawarkan dua varian: Comfort dan Design. Seal U mempunyai lampu depan berbentuk U berkembar dengan kelompok cahaya untuk keterlihatan yang dipertingkatkan, manakala bahagian belakangnya mempamerkan lampu belakang berterusan dengan corak matriks titisan air.

Dari segi dimensi, Seal U berdiri 4,785mm panjang, 1,890mm lebar, dan 1,668mm tinggi, dengan jarak roda 2,765mm, sedikit lebih besar daripada Atto 3. Seal U menunggang pada roda aerodinamik 19-inci yang kononnya membantu meningkatkan jarak pemanduan.

Di dalam, Seal U mempersembahkan dalaman yang futuristik, menampilkan konsol tengah floating dan ruang penyimpanan dua lapisan. Skrin sentuh boleh putar yang besar berfungsi sebagai hab kawalan pusat untuk ketersambungan dan infotainmen, dilengkapi dengan teknologi head-up display untuk maklumat penting.

Dengan GPS sebagai standard dan pelbagai app, termasuk Android Auto dan Apple CarPlay, sistem sambungan 4G BYD Seal U menyediakan pengalaman pemanduan ultra-pintar dengan infotainmen moden dan kawalan suara. Ia juga termasuk peningkatan melalui udara (OTA).

Dari segi kargo, Seal U menawarkan 552 liter kapasiti tapi boleh dikembangkan kepada 1,440 liter dengan tempat duduk belakang dilipat ke bawah.

Pengecasan adalah pantas, dengan pengecasan DC 140 kW membolehkan 30% hingga 80% State of Charge dalam masa 28 minit sahaja. Varian Comfort menempatkan bateri 71.8 kWj dan menyediakan jarak sehingga 420km, manakala varian Design mempunyai bateri 87 kWj, menawarkan jarak sehingga 500km.

BYD Blade bateri lithium iron phosphate kuasa kedua-dua varian. Jumlah keluaran kuasa ialah 217PS dan tork 330Nm dengan kelajuan tertinggi 175km/j dan kuasa dihantar ke roda hadapan.

Dari segi keselamatan, Seal U mempunyai penarafan Euro NCAP lima bintang dan menampilkan pelbagai ciri keselamatan aktif dan pasif yang penting untuk keluarga, termasuk markah tertinggi dalam pelbagai ujian impak dan penilaian pemasangan tempat duduk kanak-kanak.

Walaupun BYD Seal menyaingi Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal U pula menentang Tesla Model Y, yang berharga dari RM199,000 hingga RM288,000. BYD perlu bijak tentang harga mereka, tetapi berdasarkan strategi harganya sejak akhir-akhir ini, BYD Malaysia mungkin tidak terlalu mengambil berat tentang Tesla.

BYD Seal U to Enter the Malaysian Market?

Speculation is swirling regarding the potential entry of the BYD Seal U into the Malaysian automotive market. The Seal U, loved for its fusion of cutting-edge technology, spacious interior, and advanced tech, has captured the imagination of Malaysian drivers seeking sustainable transportation options.

Compounding the anticipation is the presence of the BYD Seal AWD and RWD models which are already making waves in Malaysia, laying the groundwork for the Seal U’s imminent arrival.

Currently available in Europe, the BYD Seal U offers two variants: Comfort and Design. The Seal U boasts double U-shaped headlights with light clusters for enhanced visibility, while its rear showcases a continuous taillight with a waterdrops matrix pattern.

Dimension-wise, the Seal U stands 4,785mm long, 1,890mm wide, and 1,668 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,765mm, slightly larger than the Atto 3. The Seal U rides on 19-inch aerodynamic wheels which supposedly help to improve range.

Inside, the Seal U presents a futuristic interior, featuring a floating centre console and double-layer storage compartments. A large rotatable touchscreen serves as the central control hub for connectivity and infotainment, complemented by head-up display technology for essential information projection.

With GPS as standard and a variety of Apps, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the BYD Seal U’s 4G connectivity system provides an ultra-smart driving experience with modern infotainment and intuitive voice control. It also includes over-the-air (OTA) upgrades.

Cargo-wise, the Seal U offers 552 litres of boot capacity, expandable to 1,440 litres with rear seats folded down, catering to various storage needs.

Charging is swift, with 140 kW DC rapid charging enabling 30% to 80% State of Charge in just 28 minutes. The Comfort variant houses a 71.8 kWh battery, providing up to 420km of range, while the Design variant boasts an 87 kWh battery, offering up to 500km of range.

BYD Blade lithium iron phosphate batteries power both variants. The total power output is 217PS and 330Nm of torque with a top speed of 175km/h and power is sent to the front wheels.

Safety-wise, the Seal U has a five-star Euro NCAP rating and features a range of active and passive safety features essential for families, including top scores in various impact tests and child seat installation ratings.

While the BYD Seal rivals the Tesla Model 3, the BYD Seal U is up against the Tesla Model Y, which is priced from RM199,000 to RM288,000. So BYD has to play its cards right to outsell Tesla, but judging by its pricing strategy of late, BYD Malaysia may not be too concerned about Tesla.
