COE proudly represent Singapore statistic of vehicle ownership, being one of the most expensive document to own in the world, this COE is not just to provide a car owning entitlement, but also to help push the singapore economy altogether. Is automobile maker feeling the pinch? Yes for the conventional maker, no for the new alternative maker. Young maker are getting more and more traction and respond from buyer of all level, which is an rare sight from 10 years ago, proving that people change to look at what they get from how much they paid, no more just rely on the branding alone.


It will be a challenge to most automakers, but will be a cool breeze for buyers or potential buyers.

Singapore COE Breaks S$125k: Automakers Earns Profits or Brand Prestige?
The results for Singapore's first COE bidding round in May are out: Category A (Small/Mid-sized) hit S$124,790, and Category B (Large/Luxury) reached S$126,236. With the COE exceeding S$125,000, would you buy a car or stick to the MRT? How much higher do you think this market ceiling can go? BYD has captured 20% of the market share; do you bet on BYD because of its Southeast Asian expansion narrative or its domestic sales performance in China? NIO is taking the premium route, but it costs S$300k+ to get one on the road in Singapore—do you think there is a genuine need for this segment?
