Real costs, not brochure dreams. If you drive in Australia and you’re torn between the BYD Sealion 6 (DM-i PHEV) and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, this guide shows what you actually pay per 100 km—city and highway—with home vs public charging, plus servicing, insurance, rego, and resale. We use AU-specific rates (Chargefox/Evie benchmarks), clear assumptions, and straight math, then place everything in clean, mobile-friendly tables.
You’ll see when the Sealion 6 wins big (night home charging, mostly city) and when the RAV4 Hybrid keeps the edge (long highway runs with limited charging). No hype—just a method you can copy and plug in your own prices.

Short verdict: Sealion 6 shines for urban families who can reliably charge at home or work. RAV4 Hybrid remains a safe bet for frequent road trips where petrol convenience still rules. Choose the one that fits your weekly routine—not someone else’s.
