From the leaked photos, it is not possible to see the charging nozzle of BYD’s pickup, nor the space for connecting the battery charger. Such openings might be concealed by black appliqués that are not visible in the image, or placed next to the passenger seat, which does not appear in the photos, for example.
It is also possible to see the rectangular multimedia screen of approximately 15 inches, touchscreen, a trademark of BYD. Moreover, the instrument panel is also digital. It was found that the BYD pickup, which promises to shake the automotive industry, is hybrid due to the panel indicating fuel levels and the health of the battery, displaying a remaining range of 1,079 km.
BYD’s Hybrid Pickup Expected to Arrive for R$ 327 Thousand
According to the Australian site, BYD’s importers in the country already have a price expectation for the Chinese pickup, where reservations could start as early as this semester. Therefore, the BYD plug-in pickup from the Chinese brand will arrive there costing less than 100,000 Australian dollars, equivalent to approximately R$ 327 thousand, when converted directly.
Compared to the national market, where it is still unknown whether the model will be part of it in the future or not, the BYD pickup would cost around rival diesel models, such as the Toyota Hilux, for example. However, its biggest rival would be the also Chinese GWM Poer, also electrified, which will be produced in Brazil. Another option would be the JAC Hunter pickup, also hybrid.
GWM Poer is About to Arrive in Brazil
Expected to arrive in Brazil soon, the GWM Poer Pickup positions itself as a strong competitor to the Toyota Hilux in 2024. Well-equipped and ready to face one of the most popular models in the Brazilian market, the Poer represents yet another significant advance from Chinese manufacturers in Brazil.
Already sold in Argentina through direct import from China, the expectation is that the medium pickup will hit the Brazilian market in 2024, promising to shake the automotive industry with its features and performance.
There are plans for local production in Iracemápolis, São Paulo. This production may result in more affordable versions, expanding the model’s availability in the national market. Currently, price speculations range from R$ 200 thousand to R$ 300 thousand, which consolidates it as a competitive option within the current standards. The GWM Poer pickup uses, in addition to a combustion version, also a hybrid powertrain.
