BYD SHARK 6

This page outlines the powertrain and fuel specifications of the BYD SHARK 6 in Australia. It covers details regarding the engine, electric motors, battery capacity, driving range, and charging hardware. Please note that trim names, specifications and prices reflect a compiled dataset (October 2026) and that BYD Automotive Australia may update variants, so every figure must be verified; consult an authorised BYD dealer or the official BYD Australia website.

The BYD SHARK 6 operates as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), combining a petrol engine with electric motors and a high-voltage BYD Blade Battery. It is not a pure EV. BYD does not offer or authorise LPG/CNG/autogas conversions, and aftermarket gas conversion voids the factory warranty. The drivetrain type is the Dual Mode Off-road Super Hybrid system, which pairs a Hybrid Special Longitudinal High-Power Engine with front and rear permanent magnet synchronous motors.

Engine and Electric Motor Outputs

The powertrain configuration depends on the selected variant, with the Dynamic Cab Chassis, Premium, and Performance models all featuring all-wheel drive.

Regarding the BYD Shark 6 1.5L turbo petrol engine, power in kW and torque in Nm depend on the variant. In the Dynamic Cab Chassis and Premium variants, the vehicle uses a 1.5-litre turbo engine producing 135 kW and 260 Nm of torque. This is paired with a 170 kW, 310 Nm front motor and a 150 kW, 340 Nm rear motor. The BYD Shark 6 combined system output is 321 kW and 650 Nm for these models. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is 5.7 seconds for the Premium, while the Dynamic Cab Chassis time depends on the tray fitted.

The Performance variant includes a larger 2.0-litre turbo engine outputting 180 kW and 380 Nm. Its electric motors produce 200 kW (front) and 150 kW (rear), resulting in a maximum combined output of 350 kW and 700 Nm, allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds. For the exact BYD Shark 6 engine oil specification and service capacity, refer to the official owner’s manual.

Battery, Charging, and Range

The BYD SHARK 6 is equipped with a 29.6 kWh BYD Blade Battery. Depending on the variant, the BYD Shark 6 pure electric range is 100 km (NEDC) on 1.5-litre models and 80 km (WLTP) on the Performance variant. Energy consumption is rated at 212 Wh/km (NEDC) for the 1.5-litre models, and 277 Wh/km (WLTP) for the Performance model. The BYD Shark 6 total combined hybrid range is 800 km (NEDC) with a full tank and charge on the 1.5-litre variants, and 640 km (WLTP) on the Performance variant.

The vehicle supports AC charging via a Type 2 port at up to 7 kW with a mode 2 portable charging cable. The BYD Shark 6 DC fast charging speed reaches up to 55 kW via a CCS 2 public charger port. An in-car 230 V V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) socket, an external V2L adapter, and regenerative braking are standard across all variants. Any service or inspection of the high-voltage charging hardware, including the orange high-voltage cables, must be done by an authorised BYD dealer or qualified technician. The emergency charging and discharging device is covered by a 12-month warranty.

To maintain the traction battery, which is covered by an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty with a guarantee of at least 70% capacity retention, specific care is required. Keep the battery at a 40% to 60% state of charge when unused for more than 7 days. If unused for more than 3 months, fully charge then discharge back to 40% to 60% every 3 months. Recharge promptly if the state of charge drops to 0%, as damage from failing to do so is not covered. Fully charging via AC at least once a week is recommended, and a full charge from below 10% every three to six months aids range estimation. In temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, charge right after use.

Fuel Consumption and Emissions

The BYD Shark 6 features a 60L fuel tank; check the manual for the required regular unleaded petrol rating. Fuel consumption varies based on the battery’s state of charge (SOC).

When the battery SOC is above 25%, the combined fuel consumption is rated at 2.0 L/100 km (NEDC) for the Dynamic Cab Chassis and Premium trims, and 1.3 L/100 km (WLTP) for the Performance trim. When the SOC drops below 25%, consumption changes to 7.9 L/100 km (NEDC) and 10.5 L/100 km (WLTP), respectively. CO2 emissions are 46 g/km (NEDC) for the 1.5-litre models, and 23 g/km (WLTP) for the 2.0-litre Performance model. These figures remain subject to manufacturer specifications.

Powertrain Maintenance and Servicing

Routine maintenance for the plug-in hybrid powertrain involves strict intervals. An initial run-in service is required at six months or 3,500 km of HEV driving, whichever comes first. Following this, standard services are due at 20,000 km or 12 months, 40,000 km or 24 months, 60,000 km or 36 months, 80,000 km or 48 months, 100,000 km or 60 months, and 120,000 km or 72 months.

The service schedule for the Dual Mode super hybrid system covers multiple fluid and filter changes. The brake fluid is also replaced. Failure to service strictly per the manufacturer’s recommendations can void the warranty.

Towing Capabilities

The powertrain supports a braked towing capacity of 2,500 kg for the Dynamic Cab Chassis and Premium trims, and 3,500 kg for the Performance variant. The unbraked towing capacity is 750 kg across all models. The towball download weight is 250 kg on the 1.5-litre models and 350 kg on the Performance model. Trailer stability control is fitted as standard. Loading or towing beyond specifications is not covered by the warranty.
