New four-wheel-drive double-cab truck from China is poised to rival the forthcoming Ford Ranger PHEV
BYD has confirmed that its first pick-up truck will be called the Shark, ahead of its unveiling at the Beijing motor show. The Chinese giant announced the truck will introduce a new plug-in hybrid powertrain called DMO that's said to optimise off-road performance. It has yet to confirm technical specifications for the powertrain, but it's expected to offer four-wheel drive and performance competitive with pure-ICE rivals such as the Toyota Hilux.
Camouflaged images of the Shark confirm that it will be available in the popular double-cab bodystyle and sport tough, slab-sided styling. It has a full-length LED light bar up front, with a wraparound lighting signature reminiscent of that on the Ford Ranger. Inside, it’s expected to feature the same 15.6in infotainment touchscreen as in the BYD Atto 3, Dolphin and Seal electric cars, which is capable of rotating to display in either portrait or landscape orientations.
