The Swansway BYD team welcomes visitors to see the new BYD Shark plug-in hybrid pickup and answer questions about the vehicle.
Swansway BYD is putting the BYD Shark on display in Chester on Saturday 31 October, so if you've been following the news about it, this is your chance to actually get close to one. It's a double-cab pickup built for families, and the whole point of the day is just to let people see it in the flesh rather than on a screen.
Under the bonnet is BYD's Dual Mode Off-road (DMO) Super Hybrid system, a plug-in hybrid that gives you all-wheel drive when you need it, but lets you do a lot of your everyday driving on electric power alone. It seats five, and inside you'll find heated and ventilated front seats, so it's more of a daily driver than a rough-and-ready work truck. On the back, it's got a 'shark tail' LED design that gives it a bit of a signature look. The electric range is 55 miles (WLTP), which is plenty for most trips around the city and back without needing to touch the petrol side of things.

If you've got questions, the Swansway BYD team will be there on the day to answer them and walk you through what actually sets it apart from the other pickups on the market. It's a good spot to get a proper feel for the size of it and how it works in person, rather than just reading the spec sheet. The BYD Shark starts from £47,290 OTR.
