LAHORE: Chinese automaker BYD has officially announced that its innovative plug-in hybrid pickup truck, the Shark 6, is headed to Pakistan. A teaser shared on Instagram with the caption “COMING SOON” and a dramatic action shot has stirred excitement in the local automotive scene.
The Shark 6 made a grand first impression during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 Opening Ceremony, securing high-profile exposure in front of millions of viewers.
What Makes the Shark 6 Stand Out?
The BYD Shark 6 is a dual-cab plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that blends sustainable driving with muscular performance. While the official specifications for the Pakistani market haven’t been released yet, global models suggest the following features:
- A plug-in hybrid system allows short-distance electric driving and petrol backup for extended trips.
- A rugged, modern exterior with a wide stance and aggressive front grille.
- A high-tech cabin likely to feature a large infotainment display, ADAS safety features, and smart connectivity.
With fuel prices on the rise and global trends shifting toward electrification, the Shark 6 arrives at a critical moment. Traditionally dominated by diesel-powered models, Pakistan’s pickup market could soon see a transformation and BYD’s offering might just be the catalyst.
If priced competitively, the Shark 6 could appeal to both commercial users and lifestyle drivers looking for a powerful yet eco-conscious alternative.
While BYD Pakistan hasn’t disclosed an official launch date or price, the promotional build-up from the PSL reveal to the social media teaser hints that the official debut is near. Auto enthusiasts and eco-conscious consumers alike are keeping a close eye on what could be one of 2025’s most exciting vehicle launches.
