Is this the PH-spec BYD Shark 6’s would-be pricing?

MANILA: After the Land Transportation Office (LTO) confirmed its entry to the Philippines, agents have started offering pre-orders for the soon-to-be-offered BYD Shark 6.

Reservations for the upcoming model are already being offered as seen over numerous social media posts amid the lack of official announcement from BYD Cars Philippines — giving notable facts about the vehicle.

For starters, the forthcoming product will be called the BYD Shark 6 DM-O (which stands for Dual Mode Off-Road) and will carry an estimated price of P2.4-P2.7 million.

Below are some of the specifications that were shared by the agents:

Powertrain	1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with dual permanent magnet synchronous motors
Maximum output (in horsepower)	430
Peak torque (in Newton meters)	650
Acceleration	0-100 kilometers per hour in 5.7 seconds
Top speed (in kilometers per hour)	160
Full electric range (in kilometers, based on NEDC standards)	100
Battery type, capacity	Lithium Iron Phosphate Blade Battery, 29.58 kilowatt-hours
Infotainment screen (in inches)	12.8-15.6
Instrument cluster (in inches)	10.25
Technologies	360 camera, head-up display

Based on the documents from the LTO, the plug-in hybrid pick-up truck carries the following measurements:

Length, width, height (in millimeters [mm>)	5,457 x 1,971 x 1,925
Wheelbase (in mm)	3,260
Ground clearance (in mm)	230
Gross vehicle weight (in kilograms)	3,500

The two trims — namely Advanced and Premium — are sitting on 18-inch wheels wrapped in 265/65 tires.

The said document came out after BYD Cars Philippines dropped a hint on social media, asking what Filipino car buyers do right after they buy a pickup truck. 

With all the information now being made available for buyers in the Philippine market, it seems that the model's formal launch will be conducted sooner than we thought.
