  • November 2025 2nd COE Bidding Results – Are Prices Rebounding Again?

    The November 2025 2nd COE Bidding  results are out, and this round brings a mix of dips and rebounds across categories. After several months of surging premiums, followed by a sharp drop in the first November bidding, the latest numbers reveal that certain categories have risen again — particularly CAT B  and CAT E , which are often the most closely watched by private car buyers and sellers. Below is a side-by-side comparison between November 1st  and November 2nd  bidding: COE Price Comparison – November 2025 Biddings Category November 1st Bidding November 2nd Bidding CAT A $110,002 $109,000 CAT B $115,001 $129,890 CAT C $76,000 $76,389 CAT E $121,010 $125,001 Key Observations From the Latest COE Movement 1. CAT A Continues Its Slight Downtrend CAT A fell slightly from $110,002 to $109,000 .While the decrease isn’t drastic, it suggests the market is still stabilising after previous highs. Demand from everyday drivers remains steady, but not aggressively competitive. 2. CAT B Makes a Significant Jump CAT B rose sharply from $115,001 to $129,890 , reversing last round’s strong drop.This signals a renewed push from buyers of larger and more premium vehicles — often driven by new model launches, year-end promotions, or pent-up demand. 3. CAT C Remains Stable Commercial vehicle COE premiums increased marginally from $76,000 to $76,389  — essentially flat.This indicates consistent fleet demand without major fluctuations. 4. CAT E Rebounds Again CAT E (Open Category) increased from $121,010 to $125,001 , hinting at stronger dealer confidence.Dealers may be securing premiums ahead of anticipated demand for higher-end models. Should You Buy or Sell a Car Now? For Sellers: Still a Strong Window to Sell Even though COE dropped in the 1st November bidding, the rebound in CAT B and CAT E shows that the market is not guaranteed to stay low. This is still an ideal time to sell: Used car prices remain high due to previous COE peaks. Many buyers are shifting from new to used cars for lower depreciation. CAT A remains softer, but demand for used cars is still strong due to affordability. Selling to SGCARDEALS ensures: Highest price in the market No hidden fees Same-day value Over 300 trusted dealers  competing for your car Simply submit your car plate number  for a free car valuation. For Buyers: A Mixed Signal — But Still a Good Opportunity Some categories rose, some fell — meaning the market is currently unpredictable.However: CAT A remains very affordable compared to previous peaks CAT B and E may rise further if this rebound continues Used cars now offer better value than new ones  due to lower depreciation If you’ve been waiting for: A good depreciation deal Lower upfront cost A stable COE environment This is a reasonable time to secure your car before year-end fluctuations kick in. Browse our latest car listings  to find today’s best deals. What to Expect in the Next COE Bidding Here are possible scenarios for the upcoming bidding: Scenario 1: CAT B and E Continue Rising If dealer activity remains strong, premiums may continue to trend upward. Scenario 2: CAT A Stabilises at the Low-$100K Range CAT A often adjusts slower and may level out unless demand surges unexpectedly. Scenario 3: CAT C Remains Flat Commercial vehicle demand is relatively predictable, so no dramatic changes are expected. Tips to Stay Updated & Predict COE Trends To stay ahead of COE price movements: Monitor dealer promotions When brands push year-end sales, COE demand rises.

  • November 2025 COE Result (1st Bidding): Prices Drop Again – What Should Buyers and Sellers Do Now?

    The first COE bidding of November 2025 has just closed, and the results show another round of price drops across almost every category. After months of rising premiums in August and September, followed by a dip in October, November has continued the downward trend. This raises an important question for Singapore car owners and buyers: Is this the best time to sell your car? Should you secure a new car now while COE is dropping? And what might happen in the next bidding? Below is a quick look at the recent results: COE Price Comparison: October vs November 2025 Category October 1st Bidding October 2nd Bidding November 1st Bidding CAT A (Cars ≤1,600cc & ≤130bhp) $128,105 $122,000 $110,002 CAT B (Cars >1,600cc or >130bhp) $141,000 $131,889 $115,001 CAT C (Goods Vehicles & Buses) $74,301 $76,801 $76,000 CAT E (Open Category) $140,009 $136,000 $121,010 What Does This Mean? Across Cat A, B, and E , COE premiums have continued to fall for the second time in a row. After hitting high peaks between August and September, prices have eased significantly. CAT A & CAT B – Strong Drop CAT A dropped from $128,105 (Oct 1) → $110,002 (Nov 1) CAT B dropped from $141,000 (Oct 1) → $115,001 (Nov 1) This is one of the most noticeable declines in recent months, making it a surprising and favourable window for buyers. CAT C – Slight Adjustment CAT C did not move much, signalling stable demand in the commercial vehicle market. CAT E – Large Correction CAT E dropped from $140,009 (Oct 1) → $121,010 (Nov 1).This is significant because Category E traditionally signals how premium car buyers move. Should You Buy a Car Now? Yes – this might be one of the best windows to secure your dream car.

  • Yangwang U9 Xtreme Becomes the World’s Fastest Car with a Record 496.22km/h Top Speed

    The title of the world’s fastest production car  now belongs to the Yangwang U9 Xtreme , an all-electric hypercar from BYD’s ultra-premium sub-brand, Yangwang. The U9 Xtreme achieved an astonishing top speed of 496.22km/h  during a private test in Germany, officially dethroning the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+  as the reigning record-holder. Source: Google Nearly 3,000 Horsepower of Electric Fury At the heart of this engineering marvel lies a quad-motor electric drivetrain  producing a combined 2,958 horsepower , distributed across all four wheels. This immense power not only propelled the U9 Xtreme to record-breaking speeds but also earned it the distinction of being the most powerful production car ever built . Compared to the standard Yangwang U9 , which already produces a remarkable 1,287hp, the U9 Xtreme  features a highly advanced 1,200V electrical architecture —an upgrade from the regular model’s 800V system. This enables the car to sustain higher energy discharge for longer durations, optimising both performance and efficiency during extreme acceleration. Precision Engineering Meets Aerodynamic Excellence To achieve the unprecedented 496.22km/h top speed, Yangwang engineers implemented several critical upgrades. The U9 Xtreme swapped its standard Pirelli P Zero tyres  for semi-slick Giti high-performance compounds , while its DiSus-X active suspension system  was retuned for maximum high-speed stability.The team also removed the car’s signature rear wing to minimise aerodynamic drag , a vital step in pushing the electric hypercar to its absolute limits. Source: Google A Record-Breaking Machine Beyond Top Speed Behind the wheel of this electric masterpiece was German racing driver Marc Basseng , who reached the official 496.22km/h mark—though data from onboard systems suggest the U9 Xtreme could have gone even faster under ideal wind and tyre load conditions. In addition to its straight-line dominance, the U9 Xtreme also shattered the Nürburgring Nordschleife record for electric vehicles , posting a 6:59.157 lap time , surpassing the previous record held by the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra . Limited Production, Unlimited Power Yangwang has confirmed that only 30 units  of the U9 Xtreme will be produced, ensuring its exclusivity among hypercar collectors. The car is now open for order, cementing BYD’s Yangwang division as a serious contender among the world’s most elite automotive brands.

  • September 2025 2nd COE Bidding Results – Prices Hit New Highs

    The latest September 2025 2nd COE bidding results  are in, and the trend is clear: COE premiums for Categories A, B, and E have skyrocketed once again, reaching their highest levels this year.  For car buyers and sellers in Singapore, this signals a crucial turning point in the market. September 2025 2nd Bidding Results vs 1st Bidding Here’s a quick comparison between the September 1st  and September 2nd  bidding rounds: Category Sept 1st 2025 Sept 2nd 2025 Difference CAT A $107,889 $119,003 🔼 +$11,114 CAT B $127,501 $136,890 🔼 +$9,389 CAT C $71,556 $72,501 🔼 +$945 CAT E $127,901 $140,502 🔼 +$12,601 ➡ CAT A, B, and E premiums surged sharply , while CAT C also edged up slightly . This marks the highest COE levels recorded in 2025 so far. What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers? For Car Buyers Buying a car has become significantly more expensive , especially for luxury (CAT B)  and open category (CAT E)  vehicles. If you’re considering a purchase, it may be wise to hold off and monitor the next bidding round , as demand could cool slightly after such a steep increase. For Car Sellers Now is one of the best times to sell.  High COE prices push up overall car values, giving sellers the chance to secure top offers. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade or cash out, this market offers an opportunity to get the maximum return . What to Expect in the Next Bidding With COE prices climbing so aggressively, the big question is: Will this momentum continue, or is a correction coming? Possible Cooling Ahead:  Sharp increases often lead to a pullback as buyers hesitate at record-high levels. Quota Factor:  Despite the quota increase announced for August to October 2025, demand has remained strong – especially for CAT B and E. This suggests intense competition is still driving prices up. Prediction:  Expect some resistance at these new highs. If demand slows, the next round could stabilise or dip slightly, though CAT B and E will likely stay elevated. Tips to Stay Ahead of the COE Market Track Every Bidding Round  – Even small shifts reveal future trends. Get Your Car Valued Regularly  – With prices at record highs, knowing your car’s market value helps you decide the right time to sell. Watch Policy Announcements  – Quota adjustments and regulations can change the market overnight. Stay Flexible  – If buying, have backup options (different models or categories) to avoid overpaying. The September 2025 2nd COE bidding  has pushed premiums for CAT A, B, and E to record highs , signalling strong demand despite the recent quota increase. Sellers  should act fast to capitalise on these peak values. Buyers  may want to wait and see if a correction comes in the next round.

    Porsche has unveiled the new 911 Turbo S , the most powerful production 911 in history, now available for order in Singapore.

  • Incentives for Buying EVs Extended in Singapore; Hybrids to Lose Rebates from 2026

    Singapore is extending its green vehicle incentive schemes to drive the nation closer to its 2040 vision where all vehicles run on cleaner energy. The Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES)  will continue from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027 , but with significant revisions to rebates, surcharges and banding. At the same time, the Electric Vehicle Early Adoption Incentive (EEAI)  will be extended until the end of 2026, albeit with reduced rebates. Both schemes are overseen by the Land Transport Authority (LTA)  and the National Environment Agency (NEA) . Since their launch, they have accelerated EV adoption in Singapore, with 80% of newly registered cars and taxis in 2025 being cleaner energy models , half of which are electric vehicles. Key Changes to VES (2026–2027) Only Electric Vehicles (EVs)  will qualify for rebates. Hybrid cars will no longer receive rebates . More pollutive vehicles will face higher surcharges . Vehicles in Bands B, C1, and C2 will move into revised bands with higher penalties . Revised VES Bands and Rebates/Surcharges Existing VES Band (till 2025) Revised VES Band (2026–2027) Rebate/Surcharge in 2026 Rebate/Surcharge in 2027 Band A1 (-S$25,000) Band A -S$22,500 -S$20,000 Band A2 (-S$2,500) Band B S$0 S$0 Band B (S$0) Band C1 +S$7,500 +S$15,000 Band C1 (+S$15,000) Band C2 +S$22,500 +S$30,000 Band C2 (+S$25,000) Band C3 +S$35,000 +S$45,000 Which Cars Fall Into Each Band? New VES Band (2026–2027) Example Models Band A MG4 EV Trophy, Great Wall Ora, Dongfeng Box, Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal, BYD Atto 3 Band B Nissan Note, Suzuki Swift, Honda Jazz, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Avante CN7, Kia Niro, Toyota Harrier Hybrid, Nissan Serena, Honda Freed Band C1 Mazda 3, Volkswagen Golf, BMW 116i, Toyota Corolla Altis, Mercedes-Benz GLA180, Subaru Forester, Kia Carnival, Toyota Alphard Band C2 BMW M135, Mazda CX-60, Mercedes-Benz GLC200, Honda CRV 1.5 Band C3 Mercedes-Benz S450L, BMW M3, Volvo XC60, BMW X3 M50, Porsche Cayenne II, Skoda Kodiaq Impact on Popular EV Models Model VES Band (2026) ARF Before Rebates VES Rebates (Revised) EEAI Rebates ARF After Rebates MG5 EV Luxury Band A S$28,675 -S$22,500 -S$6,175 S$0 BYD Atto 3 Extended Range Band A S$36,100 -S$22,500 -S$7,500 S$6,100 Tesla Model 3 RWD Band A S$57,210 -S$22,500 -S$7,500 S$27,210 Mercedes-Benz EQS450 4MATIC Band B S$241,284 S$0 -S$7,500 S$233,784 Updates to the Electric Vehicle Early Adoption Incentive (EEAI) Extended until 31 December 2026 . Offers 45% rebate on ARF , capped at S$7,500  (down from S$15,000). Maintains S$0 minimum ARF floor  for EVs until 2027. This means buyers of fully electric cars in 2026 and 2027 can still save up to S$30,000 (2026)  and S$20,000 (2027)  on ARF costs. What This Means for Buyers EVs remain the best-value option , especially with rebates and lower operating costs. Hybrid buyers will lose rebates entirely , making EVs more attractive. Pollutive vehicles will get hit harder , with surcharges reaching up to S$45,000 by 2027. Short-term COE increases are expected, so buyers should plan purchases carefully. These measures signal Singapore’s firm push towards its 2040 cleaner energy vehicle target  and the broader net-zero 2050 vision .

Premium car buyers remain competitive. 🔹 CAT C:  Slight dip to $71,556  from $72,190. Commercial vehicle demand is more stable compared to passenger cars. 🔹 CAT E:  Increased sharply to $127,901 , nearly $3,000 higher than the last round, showing strong demand across all categories. Should You Buy or Sell Now? For Sellers: This is one of the best times to sell  your car. With COE prices hitting record highs, your vehicle’s valuation is likely at its peak. Selling now could secure you the highest price before the market potentially cools. For Buyers: Buying now means paying a premium. If you don’t urgently need a car, it may be worth waiting and monitoring  the next bidding to see if prices stabilise. However, if you are set on purchasing, it’s important to lock in before COE climbs even higher. What to Expect in the Next Bidding Looking at the last three rounds (July 2nd, August 2nd, and September 1st), COE prices for CAT A, B, and E have risen consistently every bidding . This strong momentum suggests: High demand will likely push prices further up. CAT C may stay stable or fluctuate slightly  depending on business fleet demand. CAT A, B, and E could edge higher again  unless there is a sudden surge in quota supply. Tips to Stay Updated and Predict COE Trends Track past results closely  – Looking at patterns over 2–3 rounds helps forecast short-term shifts. Monitor car showroom launches  – New model launches often push up bidding demand. Watch quota announcements  – Fewer available COEs means stronger price competition.

  • COE Results August 2025 2nd Bidding – Prices Continue to Climb

    The latest Certificate of Entitlement (COE)  results for August 2025 2nd bidding  have just been released, and prices are continuing their upward trend. Despite the recent quota increase announced for the August to October 2025 period, demand across most categories remains strong. Let us break down the results, compare them with earlier figures, and provide some insights on whether now is the right time to buy or sell your car  in Singapore. August 2025 2nd Bidding Results vs August 2025 1st Bidding Category August 1st Bidding August 2nd Bidding Change CAT A (Cars ≤1600cc & ≤130bhp) $102,009 $104,524 ▲ +$2,515 CAT B (Cars >1600cc or >130bhp) $123,498 $124,400 ▲ +$902 CAT C (Goods Vehicles & Buses) $70,001 $72,190 ▲ +$2,189 CAT E (Open Category) $122,334 $125,001 ▲ +$2,667 Key Observations: CAT A  breached the $104k mark, showing sustained buyer pressure from mass-market demand. CAT B  continued its climb, albeit at a slower pace, still staying well above $124k. CAT C  jumped by over $2k, reflecting tighter competition for commercial vehicles. CAT E  surged past $125k, signalling strong bidding activity across categories. Comparison with July 2025 2nd Bidding Looking back, July 2025 2nd bidding  closed at: CAT A: $101,102 CAT B: $119,101 CAT C: $68,600 CAT E: $120,000 When compared to the current August 2025 2nd bidding , every category has risen steadily  over the last month. CAT A and CAT B are now over $3,000 and $5,000 higher respectively compared to July, while CAT E has jumped by around $5,000 within just two bidding exercises . Why Are COE Prices Still Rising Despite the Quota Increase? Earlier this month, the Land Transport Authority (LTA)  announced an increase in COE quota from August to October 2025 , with more certificates allocated to CAT B and CAT E  in particular. While this move was expected to ease prices, the August results show that strong demand continues to outpace supply . This indicates that many buyers, especially in the premium and luxury segments, are rushing to secure cars  despite higher COE prices. Should You Buy or Sell Your Car Now? For Buyers: If you are planning to buy a car, be prepared that COE levels are likely to stay elevated in the short term. The quota increase may slow the pace of growth, but demand pressure means prices will not fall drastically anytime soon. For Sellers: This period presents a golden opportunity . With COE prices at historic highs, your used car valuation will also increase. Selling your car now could fetch you the highest possible return  before further quota adjustments stabilise prices later this year. What to Expect in the Next Bidding COE prices are likely to remain high  across all categories. CAT B and CAT E may experience slight moderation as the additional quota gets absorbed, but strong buyer interest will keep prices above the $120k mark. CAT A could see further upward pressure, as more mass-market buyers try to secure their cars before financing costs or quotas shift again. Tips to Stay Updated & Predict the Trend Track COE Results Closely  – Monitor each bidding exercise to identify trends. Watch Quota Announcements  – LTA’s quota adjustments play a huge role in price movement. Consider Market Timing  – If you’re selling, aim for high COE periods; if buying, assess whether to enter now or wait for possible easing. Get a Free Car Valuation  – Knowing your car’s current value can help you make an informed decision before the next COE results. The August 2025 2nd COE bidding  reinforces the strength of car demand in Singapore, even with a larger quota in place. Prices remain elevated, creating a favourable window for sellers  to secure maximum returns. Buyers, meanwhile, should be cautious but decisive — as waiting too long may still mean paying more.
