BYD is offering a few end-of-financial-year deals on its Shark 6 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) dual-cab ute following the end of Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) breaks for novated lessees of PHEVs last month, including a cashback campaign and financing and leasing offers.
All ABN holders who take delivery of a Shark 6 between May 12 and June 30, 2025 are eligible for finance with a $0 deposit and a 1.99 per cent per annum interest rate over a 36-month term.
Deals on the BYD Shark 6 are available now. Contact a dealer via CarExpert for the best deal or call our Concierge team on 1300 587 992.
This offer excludes demo vehicles, as well as government, fleet and rental buyers.
But BYD Shark 6 buyers who take delivery between May 1 and June 30 can receive fleet pricing, effectively a four per cent discount, if they order through a valid novated lease provider or fleet management organisation.
Discounted pricing excludes applicable state on-road costs, and demonstrator models are excluded from this offer.
“Don’t let the end of the FBT benefits stall your ambitions,” BYD says on its offer page.
Per a post on the BYD Shark Owners Club Australia group on Facebook, certain Shark 6 buyers have also been offered $4000 cashback, to be received after taking delivery of their utes.
We’ve contacted the brand to confirm who qualifies for this offer, which doesn’t appear on its website.
According to an email sent to a customer shared on Facebook, the offer will appear on the final tax invoice. Within three to five business days of taking delivery, eligible buyers will receive an email with a form to complete to redeem the offer.
This offer isn’t applicable to demonstrator, fleet or government vehicle purchases, and cannot be combined with any other promotions, including financing and novated leasing offers currently available for the Shark 6.
The Shark 6 stormed into Australia’s top 10 best-selling vehicles list in its first month of recorded deliveries, though there was a caveat here.
Of the 2026 deliveries recorded in VFACTS, 450 of those were actually delivered in January but weren’t reported that month due to an administrative error.
Nevertheless, enthusiasm for the ute – particularly given the then-imminent end of the FBT exemption for PHEVs on April 1 – propelled it past the Isuzu D-Max and made it Australia’s sixth best-selling model overall.
The Shark 6 held onto sixth spot in March with 2810 deliveries, again putting it ahead of the D-Max, though it dropped to 16th spot with 1293 deliveries in April.
It remains to be seen how Shark 6 sales will track in Australia following the end of the PHEV FBT exemption and the introduction of rivals including the GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV this month and Ford Ranger PHEV mid-year.
