BYD Shark pickup arrives in UK with 55-mile electric range and 430bhp plug-in hybrid power

The BYD Shark is a plug-in hybrid pickup costing £47,290 - (BYD)

BYD’s Seals, Sealions and Dolphins had better watch out. Now the Chinese car company is bringing its Shark pickup to the UK, with prices starting from £47,290 including VAT, and deliveries expected before the end of the year.
