Christmas came in January—just took delivery of our Outback Orange BYD Shark 6 DMO Ute here in Perth!

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

Had the dealer fit the electric roller tonneau cover, sports bar, and 3,500 kg / 2,500 kg braked tow tongue before pickup. Coming out of a 2.8L turbo-diesel Hilux, the 321 kW / 650 Nm instant electric torque and rear coil-spring independent suspension make my old leaf-spring ute feel like a tractor!

415 bhp AWD hot hatch performance over Snake Pass on Sunday morning and 3.9 mi/kWh cheap commuting on Monday—what a combination!

Skipped the boring Hume Highway and took the scenic 1,050 km Princes Highway coastal route from Melbourne through Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Merimbula, Narooma, and Kiama up to Sydney in our BYD Seal Premium RWD.

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

• Averaged 14.6 kWh/100km along the winding coastal roads.
• Only needed two 20-minute DC fast-charge stops (Orbost and Batemans Bay) across the entire 3-day coastal tour!
