BYD’s first seven-seat large SUV in Australian is an all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid. Rides on locally tuned suspension and is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with dual electric motors. Three grades available.

The MY26 Transit Custom range offers a choice of diesel, electric, and plug-in hybrid power, along with the availability of all-wheel drive. Short- and long-wheelbase body styles available with a load space of 5.2 and 6.0 cubic metres.

Plus-sized dua-cab utes powered by a 120kW/450Nm turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with 48-volt mild hybrid assistance paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Payload up to 1115kg and towing up to 3500kg braked.

Running changes to the locally remanufactured US pick-up range include a new highly specified Platinum flagship that introduces design updates and more technology. Powered by turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 EcoBoost petrol engine, tows up to 4500kg.

South Korean made BEV ute offered in front- and all-wheel drive formats, all with 80.6kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, the former with a 152kW/339Nm front motor and the latter with motors at both ends for total system output of 266kW/630Nm.

Joins already available K4 small sedan to complete replacement of the popular Cerato. Hatch mirrors sedan line-up, comprising S, Sport, Sport+ and GT-Line (S also available with a Safety Pack option). Power comes from 1.6-litre turbo or 2.0L Atkinson Cycle four-cylinder petrol engines.

Heavy duty Ram pick-up trucks gain more luxury gear and significantly stepped-up load-hauling grunt courtesy of a heavily revised Cummins turbo diesel engine as part of a major update that has also toughened the look.

Ninth-generation ute line-up reduced from 23 to 16 variants and here in time for Christmas. Essentially a deep revision of the outgoing eighth-gen model rather than a ground-up redesign, with carryover 2.8L diesel doing duty range-wide as 2.7L petrol and 2.4L diesel ditched.
