The BYD Shark can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 160 km/h.
The model comes with a battery pack with a capacity of 29.58 kWh, an NEDC battery range of 100 kilometers and a combined NEDC range of 840 kilometers.

BYD will let the BYD Shark make its world debut in Mexico at 10:30 am local time (12:30 am Beijing Time on May 15), according to the company.
Making the model's debut in Mexico means it will primarily target overseas markets, rather than its home market.
In China, pickup trucks are categorized as light trucks, which are subject to many restrictions compared to regular passenger car models including sedans, SUVs and MPVs.
