Which COE category is my vehicle?

Start from an example

Vehicle

Engine size

Maximum power

Cat A Cars up to 1,600cc and 97kW (130bhp); electric cars up to 110kW (147bhp)

Both are within the limits: 1,496 cc (up to 1,600) and 88 kW (up to 97 kW). A Cat A COE closed at $139,001 on 4 Nov.

A Cat E (open) COE can be used instead; it closed at $135,998.

The rules LTA uses

Cat A: cars up to 1,600 cc and up to 97 kW (130 bhp); fully electric cars up to 110 kW (147 bhp).
Cat B: cars above 1,600 cc or above 97 kW; fully electric cars above 110 kW.
Hybrids count as non-fully-electric cars: engine size and power both apply.
These rules apply to COEs from the May 2022 1st bidding exercise. Power is the vehicle’s maximum power output as LTA registers it; check the figure for your exact model and variant.
