Latest COE results 2026: Cat A hits new record high at $133,009, all categories up across the board

Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums continue its dynamic rise across all categories in the first bidding exercise of September 2026, headlined by record breaking premiums for Category A and a double-digit percentage surge in motorcycle premiums.

Category A premiums increased by 3.51 per cent to close at $133,009, setting a new record for the second time this year. It's also the first time Category A has crossed the $130,000 barrier.

Category B, for bigger cars, increased by 3.05 per cent to close at $135,001. Additionally, Category C, for goods vehicles and buses, rose 3.44 per cent to close at $93,101.

Category D, for motorcycles, saw the most significant jump of the exercise, surging 11.11 per cent (or $1,255) to close at $12,556. Since the first exercise in July 2026, motorcycle premiums have remained above the $10,000 threshold, a level considered elevated for the category.

Category E, the open category mainly bought by high-net-worth individuals, car speculators, and dealerships, saw the smallest percentage increase this round. It rose by $2,890 to close at $137,890.

A spokesperson from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) commented, "COE prices remain elevated because of the three-week period since the last exercise". LTA reminds buyers and dealers to remain prudent when bidding for COE.

Here's a summary of the results of the first COE bidding exercise of September 2026:

COE premiums hit an all-time high in the first July bidding exercise of 2026. Category A and Category B were up by 4.16 per cent and 5.98 per cent respectively. Cat A closed at $129,000 - the highest it's ever been - while Cat B crossed $130,000 for the first time this year to close at $130,889.

Category B, which is the premium for larger cars, rose 2.59 per cent, saw an end bid of $129,501. Category C, for goods vehicles and buses, rose by 5.4 per cent - its biggest jump of the year - to close at $92,223. A Land Transport Authority spokesperson commented that the rise could be due to "an increase in eHGV and e-bus registrations since January 2026, which may be due to the increasing take up of the Heavy Vehicle Zero Tailpipe Emissions Scheme (HVZES)."

An LTA spokesperson commented that "the upcoming Car Expo... is likely to lead to elevated COE prices that negate discounts for purchases during this period." Car buyers are urged to bid prudently.

Second April 2026 COE bidding results

Category A rose 4.25 per cent this round to close at $123,010 - the first time it's crossed the $120,000 mark since October 2025. Category B, meant for larger cars, however, only rose by $1 since the last round of bidding. Since $1 is the minimal increase for COE, the slight shift does signify a steadying market demand for Cat B cars.

Bids for Category B, for larger cars, decreased by another 5.3 per cent to close at $105,001, a price lower than Category A for the first time since July 2018.

Despite the decreases across the board, COE premiums are still considerably high. Said an LTA spokesperson, "while COE prices have moderated in the recent exercise, they remain elevated, reflecting sustained demand. We advise car buyers and dealers to be prudent in bidding for COEs."

Second January 2026 COE bidding results

LTA has attributed the increase in COE prices to two factors. "COE prices have increased, likely due to seasonal demand arising from the Singapore Motor Show and the upcoming Chinese New Year period. We strongly advise car buyers and dealers to be prudent in bidding for COEs," stated an LTA spokesperson.

How to check COE bid results?

Once bidding ends, bidding statuses are posted on the One Motoring COE Open Bidding page . To check if you're successful, visit One Motoring Digital Services and login using your SingPass.

Winning COE bids are determined by vehicle quota set by LTA and the maximum reserved price set by bidders. But, the Quota Premium (QP), that is, the COE to be paid by all successful bidders within the category, will be the sum of the highest unsuccessful bid plus $1. QP is the price for a new COE.

For example, three bidders place bids for a vehicle quota of two. Bidder A and B bid $50,000 and $45,000 respectively. Bidder C bids $35,000. Bidders A and B will be successful, but their QP will be set at $35,001.

You might also hear the term PQP thrown around. That's a Prevailing Quota Premium and is the cost to renew the COE of an existing vehicle. The PQP is calculated as the moving average of the past three months' QP.

在 2026 年 9 月的第一次竞标中，拥车证 (COE) 保费继续在所有类别中快速上涨，其中 A 类保费创下历史新高，摩托车保费也出现了两位数的百分比增长。

A类保费上涨3.51%，收于133,009美元，今年第二次创下新纪录。这也是A类保费首次突破13万美元大关。

B类车（大型轿车）价格上涨3.05%，收于135,001美元。此外，C类车（货车和公共汽车）价格上涨3.44%，收于93,101美元。

D类（摩托车）保费涨幅最大，飙升11.11%（或1255美元），收于12556美元。自2026年7月首次进行保费调整以来，摩托车保费一直保持在10000美元以上，这一水平对于该类别而言被认为是较高的。

E类房车（主要由高净值人士、汽车投机者和经销商购买）本轮涨幅最小，上涨2890美元，收于137890美元。

陆路交通管理局（LTA）发言人表示：“由于上次竞标至今已过去三周，拥车证价格依然居高不下。” LTA提醒买家和经销商在竞标拥车证时保持谨慎。

如何查询拥车证（COE）投标结果？

竞标结束后，竞标结果将公布在 One Motoring COE 公开竞标页面上。如需查看您是否竞标成功，请访问 One Motoring 数字服务并使用您的 SingPass 登录。

拥车证（COE）的中标价格由陆路交通管理局（LTA）设定的车辆配额和竞标者设定的最高保留价决定。但是，配额溢价（QP），即该类别内所有中标者需支付的拥车证价格，将是最高未中标价格加上1新元。配额溢价是新拥车证的价格。

例如，三位竞标者竞标两辆车的配额。竞标者A和B分别出价5万美元和4.5万美元。竞标者C出价3.5万美元。竞标者A和B将中标，但他们的合格价格（QP）将被设​​定为35001美元。

您可能还会听到 PQP 这个词。它是现行配额溢价 (Prevailing Quota Premium) 的缩写，指的是现有车辆续期拥车证 (COE) 的费用。PQP 的计算方法是取过去三个月配额溢价的移动平均值。
