BYD Ready to Launch Shark 6 PHEV in Pakistan
Well, we called it! 2025 is definitely going to be the year for new car launches in Pakistan. It’s a huge relief for all the folks who’ve been patiently waiting for a fresh, eco-friendly ride that’s both modern and efficient. The future is looking bright! BYD, the global leader in electric vehicles, is set to launch its Shark 6 PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) in Pakistan in mid-2025. After the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, this is another exciting addition to the eco-friendly vehicle scene.
The Shark 6 PHEV is a hybrid pickup truck, meaning it uses both electricity and petrol for power. This combination offers better fuel efficiency, fewer emissions, and the strength of a rugged pickup. The hype around this car has been growing, especially after BYD teased its launch on social media with a sleek image and the caption “COMING SOON.”

According to our credible sources, BYD plans to launch the Shark 6 PHEV around June or July 2025, with bookings expected to begin in late April or early May. And the anticipated price of pickup truck could be between Rs. 19-20 million. While the first few units will be completely built units (CBUs), BYD also plans to start assembling them locally in 2026, which will boost the local economy and job market.
