These are the listed figures, not a road test. This page sets out the BYD M6's power, motor, fuel and list price. It then sets the M6 beside the similar cars on its price page. Last, it shows what the M6 costs in road tax and how its insurance price moves.
The BYD M6 at a glance
The new-car list read on 10 October 2026 shows one version of the BYD M6.
- Version: BYD M6 Electric 7-Seater 71.8 kWh
- Body type: MPV, made in China
- Motor: electric
- Fuel: electricity, with no petrol engine
- Power: 134bhp (100kW)
- List price: S$187,888, as listed on 10 October 2026
That list price includes COE as listed on the same day. COE results change each round, so a quote on another day can differ.
One version, so no power ladder
A spec comparison usually puts a base version beside a stronger one. It then shows what the extra power adds to the price. The list used here shows only one BYD M6. So there is no second power figure and no price gap to compare.
If you are offered a version with a different name, ask for three things:
- its power in bhp and in kW
- its battery size in kWh
- its list price, and the date that price was listed
With those, you can redo the comparison below for that version.
Power and the COE category
The M6's price page states the COE rule for this car in plain terms. A fully electric BYD M6 needs a Category A COE if its motor is 110kW (147bhp) or less. It needs a Category B COE if it is more powerful.
The price page gives the October 2026, 2nd round results:
- Category A: S$132,004
- Category B: S$131,901
These are not the COE figures inside the list price above. That price used COE as listed on 10 October 2026. Confirm the category for the exact car you are offered on LTA's OneMotoring site. Recent results sit on our COE page.
Road tax at 134bhp
LTA's formula, checked on 19 October 2026, gives this yearly road tax:
- 134bhp (100kW) electric motor: S$1,501.56 a year, before any age surcharge
The surcharge applies only to cars over 10 years old:
- over 10 years: +10%
- over 11 years: +20%
- over 12 years: +30%
- over 13 years: +40%
- over 14 years: +50%
LTA's formula ties road tax for an electric car to its motor power. So a version with a different power figure would pay a different sum. The facts here give the sum for 134bhp only. For any other figure, use the formula on OneMotoring. Our road tax guide explains how the sum is built.
The rivals on the price page
The M6's price page lists six similar electric cars. The facts give no power figures or list prices for them. So they compare here on one number only: the lowest insurance price. Each is priced for the same driver and car age, at the version most insurers quote.
- BYD M6: S$799.24, 10 insurers (as at 21 Oct 2026)
- Kia EV6: S$826.24, 6 insurers (as at 21 Oct 2026)
- Tesla Model 3: S$869.87, 11 insurers (as at 21 Oct 2026)
- Hyundai Ioniq 5: S$954.21, 9 insurers (as at 20 Oct 2026)
- Tesla Model Y: S$992.89, 11 insurers (as at 21 Oct 2026)
- Mercedes-Benz EQA: S$1,005.26, 6 insurers (as at 20 Oct 2026)
- Audi e-tron Electric: S$1,505.85, 7 insurers (as at 20 Oct 2026)
The six rivals average S$1,025.72 as their lowest price. The M6 comes in 22% below that. None of the six is lower. The number of insurers also differs. Fewer insurers means fewer prices to compare.
What the insurance price shows
The BYD M6 price page prices one example driver on 28 October 2026:
- main driver aged 40, married, office job, driving for 10 years
- 50% no-claim discount and no claims
- car registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- repairs at an authorised workshop, no options
For that driver, 10 insurers price the M6. The lowest price is S$799.24. The highest is S$2,112.88. That is S$1,313.64 more, or 164% more. All prices include 9% GST.
The lowest price belongs to a plan whose name says it covers collision only. So read what each plan covers, not just its price.
The excess also varies, from S$600 up to S$2,500. A low premium can come with a high excess. Compare the two together.
These are today's examples for that one driver. They are not what you will pay. Your own price depends on your answers.
How the price moves with the driver and the car
The price page changes one thing at a time and shows the new lowest price:
- No NCD (0%): S$1,208.59, which is S$409.35 more (51% more)
- 20% NCD: S$1,208.59, S$409.35 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,208.59, S$409.35 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving, 50% NCD: S$980.51, S$181.27 more, from 9 insurers
- A new car, registered this year: S$1,072.24, S$273 more, from 9 insurers
- A car 8 years old: S$785.53, S$13.71 less
Of these, losing the NCD moves the price most. Our guide to the no-claim discount explains how it is earned and lost.
Does more power cost more to insure?
The facts hold one power figure for the M6. So the price page cannot show how the premium moves with power. It prices the version most of its insurers quote.
The page also lists 8 insurers with no online price for the M6:
- 4 have no online price for this model yet
- 2 do not quote electric cars online
- 2 price online only for repairs at any workshop
When you ask for a quote, give the exact version name and power figure. That way the price matches the car. For how electric cars are treated in general, see electric vs petrol car insurance.
What to check before you compare
- The exact version name, power in bhp and kW, and battery size
- The list price and the date it was listed
- The COE category for that power, confirmed on OneMotoring
- The road tax for that power, from LTA's formula
- Each plan's cover, excess and workshop terms, not only its premium
- How many insurers price the car, as the rivals' counts differ
