Chinese importer BYD South Africa (SA) will this month add the Shark plug-in hybrid (PHEV) bakkie, as well as the Sealion 6 PHEV and fully electric Sealion 7 sports-utility vehicles (SUVs) to its South African line-up.

Currently, BYD sells the Dolphin (small EV hatchback), Atto 3 (small SUV) and Seal  (sedan) fully electric vehicles in South Africa.

BYD SA says the price range of the Shark will be below R1-million.

The 5.5 m double-cab bakkie has an electric range of 85 km on the battery only.

The Sealion PHEV will be priced between R600 000 and R900 000.

The electric-only range is between 70 km and 80 km.

Not much is known about the Sealion 7 electric vehicle, except for its 15.6-inch rotating centre screen and the fact that it has a range of roughly 450 km.
