Where each is stronger
The Isuzu D-Max carries more: up to 1,085 kg of payload, against 790 kg for the BYD Shark. That figure comes from a version plated at 3,100 kg gross vehicle weight, against 3,500 kg, so payload is not like for like.
The Isuzu D-Max tows more: up to 3,500 kg braked, against 2,500 kg.

A plug-in hybrid's official economy is a weighted WLTP result that assumes the van is charged regularly, so it cannot be set against a diesel's combined mpg, and we do not rank it. Real fuel use depends on how often it is plugged in.
