Battery and warranty
8 yrs / 160,000 km. The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2024 car has about 6 years left and a 2025 car about 7 years left. Hybrid batteries are small and usually last the life of the car, but ask whether the hybrid system has had any warnings, and check the service history. A Toyota hybrid battery costs about $2,500–$3,500 fitted: battery replacement costs.
Running costs
At 250 km a week with NSW prices, a 2024 on BYD Sealion 6 costs about $20 a week charged mostly at home, or $33 on public fast chargers. See the full BYD Sealion 6 page for running costs in your state, servicing and the new-car price.
