Why our Class 1 cover suits
the BYD Sealion 6
DM-i (PHEV) technology needs different care. Here is the peace of mind you get with PrakanEV.
Built for the DM-i (PHEV) drivetrain
The BYD Sealion 6 combines an engine, an electric motor and a high-voltage battery. Our policies are designed to cover damage to all of these parts.
100% Hybrid Battery Cover
For hybrid cars, battery cover does not step down by year, so it is covered at 100% of the sum insured.
⚠️ Note: only battery damage from an accident is covered. Failure that is not caused by an accident cannot be claimed (use the manufacturer warranty).
Cover for damage to your car
- If you hit another vehicle
- If another vehicle hits you
- Single-vehicle accidents (no other party)
- If you hit an object or an animal
- If the car is stolen or catches fire
- Natural disasters (including flood)
- Glass damage: repair or replacement
- Towing after an accident to the nearest repair shop
What BYD Sealion 6 owners often worry about
Hybrids have more electrics, batteries and sensors than regular cars, so choosing the right insurance really matters.
For drivers not yet ready for a full EV
The Sealion 6 DM-i is popular with people who want EV-level fuel savings but can still refuel and drive long distances without planning charging stops, a more flexible fit than a pure EV.
A large family C-SUV and passenger cover
The Sealion 6 is often a family car for long trips and school runs, so personal accident (PA) and medical cover for everyone in this premium SUV cannot be overlooked.
A large high-voltage battery under the floor
As a plug-in hybrid, its high-voltage battery is bigger than a regular hybrid’s. If the underbody hits an object or a speed bump hard, a new dealer battery pack can cost hundreds of thousands of baht.
BYD Sealion 6 Insurance FAQ
Does the Sealion 6 DM-i need charging every day?▼
No. It runs normally on fuel even if never plugged in, because regenerative braking recharges the battery while driving. Charging regularly gives the biggest fuel savings.
How is Sealion 6 DM-i insurance different from EV insurance?▼
As a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) with both an engine and electric drive, insurers assess its risk differently from a pure EV. Premiums are usually good value, close to regular hybrids, while still covering the high-voltage battery.
Can I claim flood damage to the DM-i plug-in hybrid system?▼
If your Class 1 plan includes natural disaster cover in the policy schedule, damage from unavoidably driving through floodwater is covered under the policy conditions.
How much is the high-voltage battery after the factory warranty ends?▼
A new dealer high-voltage battery for the Sealion 6 costs about 150,000 - 200,000 THB. If the damage comes from an accident, Class 1 pays for a replacement at 100% of the sum insured from day one.
Do the Dynamic and Premium trims have the same premium?▼
No. The car price, sum insured and some driver-assist options differ, so the Premium may cost slightly more to insure than the Dynamic.

In depth: what BYD Sealion 6 owners should know before buying insurance
1. PHEV savings that leave room in the budget
Many owners choose the Sealion 6 to drive on electricity day to day and use fuel for long trips, keeping energy costs below similar petrol SUVs and leaving budget for Class 1 dealer-repair cover.
2. A premium plug-in hybrid deserves dealer repair
With its body panels, twin electric motors and smart centre screen, BYD dealer repair guarantees 100% genuine parts and a repair warranty from DM-i specialists.
Claim cases to watch for with the BYD Sealion 6
🚨 Stones crack the front bumper and grille
Frequent family trips upcountry bring stone chips on the front bumper. Class 1 dealer repair covers a new genuine bumper and standard paint.
🚨 Heavy monsoon rain floods the road
Even with an SUV’s ride height, sudden floodwater can damage the electrics or engine. If your Class 1 plan includes flood cover, the insurer pays for inspection and repairs.
100% battery cover and 10-month installments
If the BYD Sealion 6 high-voltage hybrid battery is damaged in an accident, our policies cover it at 100% (up to the sum insured) with no step-down depreciation (battery wear with age is claimed under the BYD warranty). You can also pay the premium in 10 interest-free cash installments to spread the cost.
