The Hunter Pro should undercut the Shark 6 Premium ($57,900) by around $8,000, with more power (360kW vs Shark 6's 321kW), full 3,500kg towing capacity (vs Shark 6's 2,500kg on the Premium), and a 7-year warranty vs BYD's 6-year. The Shark 6 has a year of AU sales behind it and a wider BYD dealer network; the Hunter is a newer entrant.
