But elsewhere there’s loads to like about the Shark.

Competent, capable, comfortable and sharp value, it’s the sort of ute that is rightfully getting plenty of attention.

In short, the first true outback test for the Shark 6 reaffirmed it’s a shaping up to be a game changer in the ute market.

Like any ute, it’s not perfect, but the BYD does plenty right – and a heck of a lot very well.

Verdict: Eco-focused ute copes convincingly with the Aussie outback, teaming great on-road manners with thoroughly acceptable off-road ability.

Love this - great for worksites and camping

And the Shark’s vehicle-to-load function comes in handy. It incorporates four household powerpoints, three in the tray and one in the cabin.

You can power coffee machines or lights or even an electric barbecue for those locations that don’t allow fires.
