First Impressions of the 2026 BYD Shark 6 Premium 1.5T Petrol + 29.58kWh Blade Battery DMO AWD



 

This video features a first impressions review of the 2026 BYD Shark 6 (0:15). The presenters are impressed by the vehicle's size, noting that it is quite a large, long car (0:45).

Key takeaways from their initial experience include:

  • Comfort and Feel: The interior is described as very comfortable and silent, with seats that provide a 'hugging' feel (1:24–2:23).
  • Performance and Efficiency: As a hybrid vehicle, the presenters are currently testing its efficiency. They noted a recorded fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km (1:55) and expressed some initial concern regarding its total range given the 60L tank capacity (1:36–1:42).
  • Context: The reviewers mention they have experience with other BYD models like the Dolphin, Atto 2, Atto 3, and Seal, and find the Shark 6 to be a distinctively different addition to the brand's lineup (0:54–1:20).

The video concludes with the presenters stating they will conduct a more thorough test and provide a comprehensive full review soon (2:37).

Um, but it's very comfortable. It's very silent. Okay.
1:28
1 minute, 28 seconds
So, it's a hybrid. Um, we're obviously going to test out how the charging is, how the fuel consumption is. The fuel
1:36
1 minute, 36 seconds
consumption says we've got about uh 4 527 km, which is quite concerning because it's a 60 L tank. So, it means
1:44
1 minute, 44 seconds
we're doing about 10 L per 100. Um, it did say something somewhere here. I
1:52
1 minute, 52 seconds
don't know where it was. Um, that we've been using 8.1 L fuel consumption. So, um, for a hybrid, it's
