The latest Certificate of Entitlement (COE) bidding exercise in Singapore closed at 4:00pm on 8 Jul 2026.

COE results at a glance 📋
All figures below are in Singapore dollars (S$). The difference is calculated as new COE premium minus previous COE premium.
| Category | Vehicle Type | Previous COE (S$) | New COE (S$) | Difference (S$) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Cars ≤ 1,600cc & ≤ 97kW; EVs ≤ 110kW | 123,847 | 129,000 | +5,153 💹 |
| B | Cars > 1,600cc or > 97kW; EVs > 110kW | 123,502 | 130,889 | +7,387 💹 |
| C | Goods Vehicles & Buses | 93,001 | 95,000 | +1,999 💹 |
| D | Motorcycles | 9,989 | 10,201 | +212 💹 |
| E | Open Category (Excl. Motorcycles) | 129,002 | 129,801 | +799 💹 |
Note: Previous COE refers to the immediately preceding bidding exercise 📌.
The across-the-board increase means vehicle buyers may face a higher entry cost when budgeting for a new car, motorcycle, goods vehicle or bus. COE premiums are only one part of total ownership cost, so it remains useful to factor in road tax, insurance, financing, servicing, fuel or charging costs, and any dealer package before committing to a purchase.
Biggest moves in this round:
- Category B posted the steepest dollar and percentage increase, up S$7,387 or about 6.0%.
- Category A rose S$5,153, or about 4.2%, taking it to S$129,000.
- Category E had the smallest percentage rise at about 0.6%, while Category D had the smallest dollar increase at S$212.
