Key upgrades include a new 2.0-litre plug-in hybrid system producing 350kW and 700Nm (up from 321kW/650Nm), improving acceleration to 0–100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. The biggest improvement is towing: capacity rises from 2500kg to 3500kg, making it more suitable for caravans and heavier loads. It costs $62,900 AUD before on-road costs, around $5000 more than the Premium model. New features include improved off-road capability, Crawl mode, Google Automotive Services, updated brakes and suspension tuning. Inside, BYD redesigned the cabin with a cleaner centre console, a new gear selector behind the steering wheel, and built-in Google services. However, some owners may dislike the removal of physical controls, genuine leather steering wheel trim, and the rotating screen feature. On the road, the Shark 6 Performance remains quiet, comfortable and refined thanks to its independent suspension. The extra power is noticeable but not a huge jump over the standard model. Fuel economy varies greatly: around 6–10L/100km in normal use, but roughly 18L/100km while towing 3500kg. The main downside is payload: because the vehicle is heavier, carrying capacity drops from 790kg to 725kg. Verdict: The Shark 6 Performance successfully fixes the original model’s towing and capability limitations. It is the better choice for towing, heavier use and off-road driving, but buyers who don’t need 3500kg towing may find the cheaper Premium model already offers most of the same benefits. LEASE: The 2026 BYD Shark 6 is not officially sold or leased in the United States or the Miami market. As a result, there are no manufacturer-backed U.S. lease programs currently available. Buyers interested in the Shark 6 would need to import the vehicle through a specialty importer, where lease options, if available, are arranged through third-party finance companies. FINANCE (BUY): The 2026 BYD Shark 6 starts at approximately $55,000–$62,000 USD in international markets, depending on trim and equipment. Since the Shark 6 is not officially available in the U.S., there are no promotional APR financing offers through BYD or U.S. dealerships. Imported vehicles are generally financed through specialty lenders, with rates depending on the lender and buyer qualifications. INSURANCE: Because the BYD Shark 6 is not officially sold in the United States, there are no established U.S. insurance averages. If imported into Florida, owners should expect insurance premiums to be higher than average due to limited parts availability, repair costs, and the vehicle's imported status. Rates vary by ZIP code, driving history, annual mileage, and insurer. 📌 Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/MEDCARS.TV 📌 Tiktok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@cartvpress
