Model Will Be Presented at the Auto Show with Exclusive Design and Hybrid Engine; Sales Start in 2026

The new pickup from BYD was spotted testing in Brazil and is already circulating with a definitive body. The model, unprecedented even in China, will be officially revealed in November during the Auto Show in São Paulo. The information was published by the specialized profile @placaverde and confirmed by Autoesporte.

The mid-size truck will be the main launch of the Chinese brand in 2025 and will play a strategic role in the country. Despite the imminent presentation, the new pickup from BYD will only reach dealerships in 2026. Sources linked to the manufacturer indicate that the model will have national production and will be positioned below the Shark.

Pickup Will Be Based on the SUV Song Plus and Aims Rivalry with Fiat Toro

BYD confirms new hybrid pickup for 2026 in Brazil with national production and aims for leadership in the segment — @placaverde

The new pickup from BYD will use the platform of the SUV Song Plus as a base, sharing several visual elements, especially in the creases of the doors and in the front structure. The proposal is to compete in the same segment as the Fiat Toro and Renault Oroch, betting on a monocoque project with hybrid powertrain.

In design, the model is expected to adopt a unique bumper and a new front grille, while the rear will follow the style of the Shark pickup. Even camouflaged, the spotted unit showcases a horizontal LED bar connecting the taillights and the “BYD” lettering stamped on the bed cover — a trend that reinforces the brand’s visual identity in Brazil.

Hybrid Powertrain and Likely DM-i Flex System Expected to Equip the Pickup

Although the brand has not yet confirmed the technical specifications, it is virtually certain that the new pickup from BYD will use the DM-i hybrid system, already established in the Song Plus. This means that the model is expected to combine a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine with an electric motor, forming a setup with 235 hp and 40.8 kgfm of torque, according to data from the SUV.

The transmission will be the same e-CVT with a physical gear, with electric support in the other ratios, promoting linear acceleration and energy efficiency. Sources close to BYD suggest that the configuration is already prepared to be hybrid flex, which would give the model a significant advantage in the national market against combustion rivals.

National Production Expected to Take Place in Camaçari (BA) Starting in 2026

Another strategic point for the success of the new pickup from BYD is the local production in Camaçari (BA). The brand has already resumed work at the former Ford plant and plans to assemble up to eight vehicles in Brazil by 2026. With this, the truck can benefit from tax incentives and a more efficient supply chain.

The bet on an intermediate monocoque model, with modern mechanics and reduced operating costs, signals BYD’s intention to capture the urban utility market. The arrival of the “baby Shark” could represent a turning point in the segment, with a direct impact on models like the Fiat Toro, Ford Maverick, and even the upcoming Chevrolet Montana hybrid.

Do you think the new pickup from BYD will be able to face the Fiat Toro and other rivals? Does the hybrid version seem like a real advantage to you? Leave your opinion in the comments!

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

NASA published a photo taken from space of a mountain range in the interior of Goiás, and the whole world wanted to know what it was: beneath it lies the largest hot water spring on the planet, with temperatures reaching 70 degrees in the middle of the Cerrado.

Chinese cities surprise the world by installing cannons on construction sites that shoot atomized mist with a range of 120 meters to knock down airborne dust particles. The equipment reduces suspended dust by up to 90%, and 61 municipalities opened bids for the system in a single year.

The largest South American oil company, Petrobras, is preparing for a historic leap in production with new FPSO platforms and the expansion of refining — projects that could add up to 900,000 barrels per day and strengthen Brazil’s energy security.

3,500-year-old tear discovered reveals a textile technique much more advanced than previously thought in the Bronze Age.

With nearly 500 thousand tons per year, barley production is growing in Brazil, while a decline in beer consumption among Generation Z raises alarms in the sector.

One of the largest manufacturers of military ammunition in the world is Brazilian and has just signed an agreement with the Navy to develop national ammunition for the frigates built in Santa Catarina that will protect the Blue Amazon.
