    These must be selling well as see so many on Sydney roads (can’t miss with that large branding on the front). I wonder if the incoming KIA Tasman is putting pressure.

      Kia Tasman looks like puke and is worse value for features, there are tons more models/brands coming, competitors are other Chinese brand EV utes IMO.

        Poor Kia, they've thrown a lot of advertising $ at promoting the Tasman too.

          I'm sure they'll be right based on the billion other Kias you see on the road.

        • ATangk on 01/07/2025 - 15:13

          If they'd opened their eyes they wouldn't have designed a ute that wasnt designed for off-roading or 4x4'ing. One little hit and your headlights get smashed, making them unroadworthy.

        • sim36 on 01/07/2025 - 15:21

          I like the Kia Tasman, sweet truck, real nice interior, tough finish, 2 or 4 doors. I like the style.

        A bit harsh. Its unique thats for sure, but there are far worse designs out there in my opinion and even more just forgetful ones that age terribly. Most BYD models here are awful visually i reckon, look like cobbled together nonsense. That will improve ive no doubt though. The Shark is the only one i like so far. That said value wise its hard to see the Tasman making any significant inroads whrn you have Ford and Toyota dominanting with plenty of worthy alternatives to suite person preferences.

    Watched youtube video of one of these heading out to Birdsville through the Simpson. Fuel consumption over the trip was 25l/100k Bit different to the claimed 2l/100 but of course nobody travels more than 100k on battery I suppose

    • ilikeit on 01/07/2025 - 07:46
      +8

      There are variables that will affect the fuel consumption in a phev. For example: towing, running on electricity and discharging the battery completely so the small 1.5L is chugging while replenishing the battery, high speed, terrain, temperature.

      Once the battery is fully discharged, fuel economy will get wrecked.

    • aaronsd on 01/07/2025 - 07:50

      Got a link for that video? That's a wildly different L/km than advertised for in road long distance driving

      Cant wait to do my daily commute across the simmo in a PHEV /s

      Obviously, there are heaps of variables that affect fuel consumption, however, these vehicles are targetted at a certain demographic. I personally have a 4x4 with low range transfer case which I require for my application (these BYD Sharks don't have the same proper '4x4' gearing) but if I didn't need it, I would absolutely jump on one of these units. The pricing and interior alone makes my 3 year old Toyota Fortuner look like a fossil.

    • krisspy on 01/07/2025 - 09:02
      +4

      EV's really only add efficiency on start/stop driving, once you hit 80km/h or up battery drains quite fast.

      Best scenario would be to drive petrol only on highway speeds, but a 1.5l petrol would be revving its tits trying to move a 2.7ton vehicle + payload.

    • 0PriceJack0 on 01/07/2025 - 12:40
      +1

      20-25L when towing. I got around 9L/100km for full tank + full charge (100km-110/h) with canopy, bullbar, stuffs in the canopy

    • dealhunter52 on 01/07/2025 - 14:07

      Once the battery is drained, that tiny 1.5L turbo engine takes lot of thrashing to pull the 2700kg body + passengers + cargo weight. Shark needs bigger engine, that tiny engine is it's Achilles heel.

    • Drakesy on 01/07/2025 - 16:31

      Yeah, but on the otherhand in similar conditions the other ICE vehicles were consuming somewhere in a similar vicinity to this.

    • dtpearson on 01/07/2025 - 19:17
      +1

      What percentage of 4WD road time do you think is serious off roading though? I would hazard a guess less than 1% of trips. 99% would be back and forth to the shops or dropping the kids to school, which is perfect for a PHEV. If you are regularly doing the Birdsville track, I don't think a PHEV or EV is a smart buy just yet, but they are getting there.

      But imagine how great they will be for that once they have +1000km of range and can even add extra range from onboard solar panels as a backup.

    • ruprectaus on 01/07/2025 - 20:02
      +2

      I have used zero litres in 3 weeks, only run on EV and charge mostly off solar. I'm in rural Tassie and it's on lots of dirt roads much of the time and 80% of my drivng is trips less then 100km, so use will be the indicating factor for fuel use.

      I'll be crossing the Simpson zero times in this, I would have much preferred a Aluminium tray back but my parter loves it as it is, i don't really care, it's a tool… but it's way better then then the Hulix, Ranger and BT-50 I've had in the past.

  • Brick Tamland on 01/07/2025 - 08:10

    Seems like the new price going forward? Surprising they are running the incentives so hard given that its already priced well

    • ilikeit on 01/07/2025 - 08:33
      +2

      Competition by other manufacturers (especially Chinese ones) does wonders. Plus, like many other manufacturers, they come in high and capture the people desiring one, before reducing price after 6 months. The now closed tax benefit on phevs also played a role.

    • buffalo bill on 01/07/2025 - 09:15
      +8

      Don't underestimate their manufacturing capacity. They could probably stick one in every driveway in Australia and still have capacity to spare. As long they are making profit, they will adjust the price to meet demand.

      This is a lot different to how legacy auto manufactures work with artificial scarcity and using pricing to maintain the (often false) appearance of prestige.

      They're not making decisions for appearance like say Tesla with fields of Cybertruck inventory unsold. They'd rather clear them out at whatever people will pay and move forward.

      Ford are going to have to change their thinking or the Ranger will be dead within 5 years, and it won't be the only one.

          Nope, nothing in it - not even a cover. Maybe you just had a bad experience with that particular car. I also tried the other new makes/models (Ranger, Amarok, Triton) and the Shark was so much better, primarily due to the rear suspension setup… which is also the reason for the not-so-great towing capability.

      The number of people who actually need that level of capability is vanishingly small.

      The vast majority of dual-cab ute owners use them for shopping trips, school runs, and the occasional trip to the dump. They rarely leave the bitumen, let alone engage low range.

      • FredAstair on 03/07/2025 - 21:06

        So a plug in HYBRID electric vehicle.

        Are you you sure that google is your friend?

        • V2L on 03/07/2025 - 22:52

          did you read past the first line? what people refer to hybrid is conventional hybrid which is very different from a PHEV. since google is too hard, let's try chatgpt:

          Main Differences Between PHEV and Conventional Hybrid:

          1. Battery Charging:
          • PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid): Can be plugged into an external power source like a wall outlet or EV charger.
          • Hybrid: Charges its battery only through the petrol engine and regenerative braking—no external charging.
          1. Electric-Only Range:
          • PHEV: Can typically drive 20 to 80+ km on electric power alone.
          • Hybrid: Very limited electric-only range—usually 1 to 3 km or none at all.
          1. Battery Size:
          • PHEV: Has a much larger battery (typically 8–18 kWh).
          • Hybrid: Has a small battery (around 1–2 kWh).
          1. Daily Driving:
          • PHEV: Can cover short commutes entirely on electricity if charged regularly.
          • Hybrid: Always uses the petrol engine at some point during driving.
          1. Fuel Savings:
          • PHEV: Greater fuel savings, especially if you charge it regularly.
          • Hybrid: Moderate fuel savings.
          1. Examples:
          • PHEV: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Toyota RAV4 Prime.
          • Hybrid: Toyota Prius (standard), Toyota Corolla Hybrid.

          In Simple Terms:

          • A PHEV lets you drive like an electric car most of the time, if you keep it charged.
          • A hybrid uses electricity to support the petrol engine but can’t drive far (or at all) on electricity alone.

          Think of it like this:

          • Hybrid = Petrol car with electric assist.
          • PHEV = Short-range electric car with petrol backup.
  • FredAstair on 04/07/2025 - 11:08

    Mate, you seem pretty keen to defend PHEVs like they’re your firstborn, but let’s keep it real for the rest of us bargain hunters:

    • Complexity? Yeah, PHEVs have more moving parts than a Bunnings sausage sizzle on a Saturday. More stuff = more things that can break. Reliability’s getting better, but it’s still a lucky dip depending on the badge on your bonnet.

    • Stale petrol? although most PHEVs will burn off old fuel before it turns to varnish, but that means the engine fires up even when you don’t need it. So, your “I only use petrol on long trips!” claim? Not always true. Some folks end up using more petrol than the brochure says, just to keep the tank fresh.

    • Electric-only range? Sure, PHEVs usually stick to EV mode—unless it’s freezing, you’re flooring it, or the computer decides it’s time for a “fuel refresh.” Plus, batteries get tired too, so that range can shrink faster than a cheap Kmart tee in the dryer.

    So yeah, PHEVs can be great if they suit your driving, but let’s not pretend they’re flawless or that everyone’s going to get the same fuel savings as the ad says. Not everyone’s living in a brochure, champ!

    • V2L on 04/07/2025 - 12:54

      where are you pulling that from? I've made no claims at all regarding the merits of the two in my post, whatever is there is pasted direct from chatgpt. I have no interest in debating anyone over which is better - you make your own judgement about what works for your use case. I'm merely educating you regarding the difference between the two as you clearly had no idea, as well as a crash course on how modern search engines and AI chatbots work. you're welcome

      • FredAstair on 04/07/2025 - 14:15

        Lol, cheers for the lecture, Professor ChatGPT!

        But let’s not pretend you’re just here for “education”—the tone was less “helpful explainer” and more “let me show you how wrong you are.” Classic OzBargain move: paste a wall of AI text, then claim neutrality when anyone points out the flaws.

        Mate, we all know the difference between hybrids and PHEVs by now, but the devil’s in the details—like how PHEVs can chew through petrol just to keep the tank fresh, even if you never planned to use it. That’s not something you’ll find in a neat little ChatGPT summary.

        So sure, “make your own judgement,” but don’t act surprised when people point out the real-world quirks that the sales pitch (or the chatbot) leaves out. That’s what OzBargain’s for—calling out the fine print, not just copy-pasting the brochure!

        • klaw81 on 04/07/2025 - 14:26

          PHEVs can chew through petrol just to keep the tank fresh, even if you never planned to use it.

          While this is an interesting factoid, it really doesn't have a lot of relevance to the average PHEV driver. I can't imagine there are too many drivers who use the ICE so rarely that their car decides the average age of the fuel in the tank is so high that it needs to be burned. If you genuinely have that "problem," you probably should have bought a proper EV.

          As you've pointed out in your previous post, there are other more common circumstances where the fuel will be burned during normal usage.
