Following the successful introduction of its inaugural pickup model, the Shark 6, in international markets, BYD is now poised to launch a full-size pickup truck. This new model aims to directly compete with iconic American pickup trucks such as the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Toyota Tundra. Currently, the Shark 6 primarily faces competition from mid-size pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux in overseas territories.

According to reports, BYD's full-size pickup is anticipated to make its debut in 2027 and could be named the Shark 9. This vehicle will feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain, positioning it as a modern and eco-friendly alternative in the pickup truck segment. While the model may not venture into the U.S. market due to tariff barriers and other related challenges, it will be launched in key markets such as Australia. Notably, it is expected to be manufactured as a factory-original right-hand-drive model, providing a pricing advantage in those regions.
