Revolutionary Plug-In Performance. Weekend Adventurer.
Electrify your workhorse with BYD’s first plug-in hybrid ute: The Shark 6. As Australia's first plug-in hybrid ute, it delivers genuine fuel savings on top of your salary packaging benefits, without asking you to compromise on power, towing or everyday practicality.
Sleek enough for the whole family, strong enough to tow a small boat and spacious enough to lug around more than a few toolboxes, the Shark 6 promises better efficiency and a smoother drive than diesel-powered rivals.
Pair that with the tax savings of a novated lease, and it's easy to see why tradies are loving the BYD Shark 6.
How does a Shark 6 lease compare to a loan or outright purchase?
A novated lease on the BYD Shark 6 is packed with financial perks, starting with zero GST on the vehicle's purchase price and running costs – a 10% saving right off the bat. Car loans require you to pay with your post-tax salary, while purchasing outright has a hefty upfront cost.

What happens at the end of a Shark 6 novated lease?
You get three options: sell and upgrade to a new lease, pay the residual and keep the ute, or refinance the residual and keep the tax savings flowing. The residual is typically lower than market value, giving you flexibility regardless of which path suits you best.
Is there a minimum salary requirement for a Shark 6 novated lease?
While there's no hard minimum, you generally need enough taxable income to cover the lease payments through salary sacrifice. Most lenders look for around $50,000+ annual salary for a vehicle in the Shark 6's price range ($57,900).
Check out our Shark 6 novated lease calculator, where you can plug in your salary to see what your weekly payments might be. When you’re ready to start, we'll assess your specific situation to ensure the numbers work.
What is the EV range of a BYD Shark 6?
The Shark 6 delivers a genuine 80km of electric-only driving range from its 29.6kWh battery. After that, it automatically switches to hybrid mode, meaning you're never without power even after the electric range is used.
How long does it take to charge a BYD Shark 6?
Charging times are refreshingly quick for a plug-in hybrid ute:
- Using a 7kW AC home wallbox, you can charge from 25% to 100% in about 3 hours and 15 minutes, ideal for overnight charging at home.
- With a 55kW DC fast charger, the same 25% to 100% charge takes just 25 minutes, making it perfect for quick top-ups during road trips.
Most Shark 6 owners charge at home overnight using a standard wallbox, waking up to a full battery every morning.
What is most comparable to a BYD Shark 6?
The Shark 6's closest rivals are the Isuzu D-Max, GWM Cannon Alpha and Ford Ranger - though it's important to understand the Shark 6 plays a different game.
- Powertrain: Shark 6 is the only plug-in hybrid ute in Australia (1.5L petrol + twin electric motors), while rivals are diesel-powered
- Performance: 321kW combined output beats even the Ranger Raptor for acceleration
- Towing: 2500kg capacity vs 3500kg for most diesel utes
- Off-road: Shark 6 is more soft-roader than a hardcore 4x4 due to independent suspension and no low-range transfer case
If you need serious towing (3000kg+) or challenging off-road capability, stick with diesel utes. But if your "ute life" is mostly urban commuting, family duties and occasional light towing, the Shark 6 offers unmatched value.
Is it possible to get a novated lease on a Shark 6 if I'm a sole trader?
Absolutely! Sole traders can definitely access novated leasing for a BYD Shark 6, though the structure works slightly differently than for traditional employees. You'll need to set up the arrangement through your business with proper PAYG withholding in place. The tax benefits can actually be quite attractive for sole traders, particularly if you're using the ute for business purposes.

The Process
How Your Novated Lease Works
A step-by-step guide to how a novated lease works, from choosing your dream car to all the way to the end of your lease.
Vehicle & Financial Consultation
We'll make sure your chosen car is within budget, you can comfortably afford the repayments, and your employer is happy to partner with us on your novated lease. Most finance approvals happen within 24 hours, subject to credit assessment. We coordinate between all parties on your behalf.
Car Shopping
This is the fun part. Whether you know the specifics or just have a general type of car in mind, we'll help source it from our national dealer network and secure the best deal on your behalf. While you’re at it, explore additional protection like MotorOne protection packages, MDR, insurance and more, which you can bundle into your lease.
Sign, Celebrate & Drive
It's time to sign the paperwork and pick up your car. We’ll send you a fuel card, and you’ll be able to access your lease portal. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about your lease and any questions you might have.
End of Lease Options
When your lease ends, you choose what happens next. Sell it through TradeLab for competitive valuations (keeping any profit tax-free!) then upgrade into a new vehicle with a fresh novated lease. You can also pay off the balloon payment to own it outright or explore refinancing.*
*Payments vary depending on your chosen term.
