BYD, now Australia's second-biggest car brand, has $4,000 cashback running across its most popular models, and the clock is the catch. The offer spans the Shark 6 ute, the Sealion 5, 6, 7 and 8, and the Seal 6 and Seal 6 Touring, with all figures quoted before on-road costs.
Where the money lands
The cashback pulls the Sealion 5 plug-in hybrid down from $33,990 to $29,990 before on-road costs, which is sharp money for a brand-new PHEV family SUV. The BYD Shark 6 plug-in hybrid ute sits in the low fifties with the cashback applied, from about $51,900 before on-roads, and the Sealion 7 electric SUV drops from $54,990 to $50,990. To get it, you need to order by 21 December and take delivery by 31 December 2026.
Cartell Assessment
Four thousand dollars is real money on volume cars, and BYD can afford it from the number two spot on the October sales table. The Sealion 5 at under thirty grand before on-roads is the standout, a plug-in hybrid priced like a petrol rival.
AU Outlook
Deal windows move, so treat the December dates as firm and confirm them with your dealer before you sign. Expect the price pressure from BYD to keep forcing responses from Toyota, MG and GWM through summer.
